Republicans who have insisted on holding the election on schedule won two legal battles Monday, as the state Supreme Court blocked Democratic Gov. Tony Evers' bid to delay it until June and the US Supreme Court reversed a lower court's ruling that gave voters six extra days to return their ballots by mail. Every other state with an election scheduled for April postponed their contest or shifted it to by-mail voting only.
The US Supreme Court's decision Monday required that, in order to be counted, absentee ballots must be postmarked no later than Tuesday and must arrive by April 13. The thousands of people who requested ballots but will not receive them in time for their ballots to be postmarked by Tuesday, Wisconsin Elections Commission administrator Meagan Wolfe told the commission's six members on an emergency call Monday night, can only vote in person.
What do you expect from a Bunch of cheese wiz heads.
Lying fascist CNN lies 100 times a day! Wisconsin has nothing in their state’s election laws that allowed them to change or postpone an election! CNN lies and doesn’t ever give facts on why the couldn’t move it!
Just reiterates the intelligence of yanks. IQ-10
Of course it is the GOP lead legislature is hoping for low voter turnout do they can stay in power. The GOxp doesn’t believe in 1 person 1 vote.
Well...the state motto is “The Idiot State” after all
Crazy bastards
That’s not only foolish, why isn’t it criminal like the preacher on Palm Sunday. I am outraged!
This is when politics “Trump” safety! Thank you to Vos and republican controlled court for sending voters to their death!
Really? Really!!!! What are they thinking - oops, they’re not using their little grey cells are they 😷
Ahh, and the Dems are like DAMN! Thought we had a chance.😉
Purely political. Politics over life will mean some sad consequences.
The leadership in Wisconsin should be fired right now with zero compensation for risking lives and being dumb asses.
jaketapper MaybeTrump told them that cheese is a cure for coronavirus.
They will be literally dying to vote
Time to vote out all the fricking Republicans. They abviously have no gray matter. Maybe it's simply that they want to see how many Democrats they can kill before the November election. They do all they can to suppres voting. Our growing numbers will resolve this in time.
Can they sue the state if they contract the virus while voting ?!?!
They know what they are doing. Less voters, difficult voting process helps republicans. Decisions made by republicans/conservatives are never for the good of all people, a ploy to protect power for them regardless of what is more beneficial to the larger population.
Fucking Republicans
Excellent plan. Could you trust any of them to govern, when they risk the lives of the citizenry to further their careers!! ‘You might die, but I’ll get elected.’
I feel bad but also hope Wisconsin voters remember why they're standing in long lines risking their health/lives to vote. The CorruptGOP is too afraid of mail-in voting and better access to voting! WisconsinPandemicVoting VoteBlueToSaveAmerica GOPBetrayedAmerica MoscowMitch
Mail voting , whose terrible idea is that !!!! NO MAIL VOTING!!!! VOTER FRAUD!!!!!!
The GOP again demonstrates that it cares about nothing but clinging to power at all costs. This will be remembered in November. 'But voting by mail means cheating!' 'I greatly question your sincerity. We know you only care about rigging the vote.'
some of us mailed our ballots but they'll get there too late since they killed the extension plan and I will not die just to vote today in Milwaukee...I want to say so much more but I will be respectful to CNN...
LaMonicaBuzz The Supreme Court is to blame
Dr. Birx held back tears from the podium when talking about how scared she was for her grandchild...She made it clear that everyone should stay home. Everyone in America. In every state. In every city. Her message was clear: Everyone needs to stay home- S Dworkin realDonaldTrump

jaketapper The GOP has bought and paid for their Supreme Court and it’s clearly working FOR THEM!
I pray Biden wins!!!
Are you suggesting the officials in Wisconsin won't know how to handle 'social distancing' if 6 ft apart. Home Depot, who has major heavy foot traffic figured it out, I'm sure politicians can.
The majority opinion was unsigned, but Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg penned a fiery dissent for the liberals, saying at one point the reasoning of her conservative colleagues “boggles” the mind.
jaketapper Absolutely insane that SCOTUS did this. I hope everyone out to vote stays safe and healthy.
No.... the five republican USSC justices are forcing this election let’s be factual
Voting by mail is a sure way to guarantee voter fraud. A Democrat specialty, and the reason they are pushing for it. Millions of Americans are still going to the grocery store. If an election is important to you, put on a mask and gloves, practice social distancing and vote.
jaketapper That's their own fault for not changing it (by passing a law)
GOP kills
BREAKING EU offers 15 bn euros for coronavirus fight 'worldwide': Commission chief von der Leyen
Absolutely stupid. There’s going to be a spike of COVID because of this foolish decision
Good! No more cheating, Dems!
It's not like WI is asking them to celebrate Chinese New Year or Mardis Gras or something They're actually allowing people to exercise their voting rights The horror, I know..... 😒
jaketapper Because they wan't a FAIR VOTE... Mail-In Voting Breeds Voter Fraud!!!
Supreme Court is holding Wisconsin to its primary election, despite efforts to delay. Don't let the facts get in the way of good click bait though
