Wisconsin election still on, but Supreme Court may intervene

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin is moving ahead with plans to hold in-person voting for its presidential primary and spring election on Tuesday, despite the coronavirus pandemic. National Guard members plan to help staff the polls, even as the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday weighed whether to intervene. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers had originally pushed for Tuesday’s election to proceed as planned. But on Friday he changed course and asked the Republican-controlled Legislature to extend absentee voting until May 19 and have it all be done by mail. Republicans have refused. Mayors are calling on Evers to take emergency action to stop the election, something he has declined to do.
