The deadly coronavirus pandemic may have closed schools, shuttered businesses, ended sports seasons and postponed the Democratic National Convention, but it hasn’t canceled Wisconsin’s primary on Tuesday.
The source cautioned that the coronavirus pandemic continues to quickly evolve and Evers could be prompted to take more action if an unforeseen circumstance arises. Republicans seemed unmoved. The Wisconsin GOP has signaled it has no intention to relent on the issue and, in fact, Republicans on Saturday went further, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block a lower court ruling that expanded absentee balloting in the state.
“The decision-making for us – we have to look beyond April 7 as we respond to this public health crisis. The surge is coming, it’s going to happen after April 7,” the source said.workers sickened by coronavirus or fearful of contamination. The shortages have meant the closure of polling sites, including in predominantly minority areas of Milwaukee. Milwaukee, which typically has about 180 polling sites, announced it would have just five open.
Outside of the court order, Wisconsin laws usually requires that absentee ballots be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day. There is no postmark requirement.found that nearly 60 percent of Wisconsin’s municipalities were reporting a shortage of poll workers, including more than 100 jurisdictions that said they lacked the ability to staff even one voting site right now.
No Ventilators for Wisconsin GOP!
Crime be dancing in the streets
Wear masks stay 6 feet away.
Starrsea3 Republicans don't care about Americans at all.
So anyone who dies because of this the Wisconsin republicans can be held responsible
That is very ignorant!
Thought our governors in all 52 states are suppose to do for their state what they think it best?🤔 Our state goes by, “DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS “!
Well he will pay for this...Later!! people don’t forget so easily 🤔 However if he didn’t prepare for elections knowing he had time..like I said he will pay later!
why can't you declare a state of emergency... if there ever was one, its now
He needs to issue an executive order today.
Yay!!! Score one for the honest side!
Typical Republicans.
That’s . Trumps Republicans for you
cmodowd Wisconsin residents, put on gloves and scarves, stay 6 feet apart—-but PLEASE VOTE, make sure Trump knows we are coming for him. They aren’t delaying the vote, because he’d rather risk your lives, than his numbers!!
AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL PEOPLE!!!!!
Blood is on their hands. GOP
Yup social distancing can work for this also, less fraud as well
Well that seems rather reckless by the GOP and in line with their norm in this crisis.
Crooked
Kochconsin
Good for them should not be able to block a person's rights
Standing up to the dems. Way to go!
Good. Life goes on
You go dude
Republicans want Americans to die. MAGA? SundayThoughts
Of course. Wisconsinites, this is the regard your 'elected' by gerrymandering & voter suppression Repubs have for you. They seem to want you to die. Because it will help THEM. OnWisconsin 💖
Well done!
GOP are adults! Stop trying to control everybody.
Follow the lead of the governor of Ohio-
Republicans betting they have indoctrinated their hard core supporters with herd immunity so they will vote no matter what. Even if it kills them. So much winning.
Every Democrat in Wisconsin should revolt by turning out.
It’s the only way the gop can stay around, mail in balloting would eliminate the gop
We line up 6' apart for groceries. We can do the same to vote.
Get out a vote in person Wisconsin. Do not allow the leftist Marxist trample on your liberty! VoterIDNow
Wisconsin GOP will be a dying breed in near future. Mark my word
The GOP is a death cult.
Good. They have absentee ballots and we all know who the nominees will be for both parties. Just get it over with and move on.
Mask and social distancing is good enough ( bring your ID
Of course those bastards in the wisgop would want to make voting more difficult. It's part of their playbook:
LetWisconsinVote
I don't care.
Way to treat the voters in your state, Republicans. Especially in a swing state. I hope every single Wisconsin voter remembers this in November.
These governors need to just do it, screw the gop, take his power and do what’s right. Just like they use their power constantly to screw Americans over. They don’t care about norms or ethics they only care about money and power. Vote then out from home!
wakeupangry All republicans should be voted out then because they clearly don’t care about their citizens lives.
Republicans have abandoned the American people. Their only interest is power. GOP has failed and continues to fail us.
Given the level of evil Democrats have proven themselves capable of, this virus may well be an attempt to steal an election.
If you've already voted why would republicans care if you get sick?
How about the nuclear option McConnell uses?
Criminal.
Hoping to spread corona among democrats to kill off a part of their people and win more elections.
This doesn't bode well for November....
If ppl can go to the store, they can vote
It shows how dangerous the Republican Party has become! Staying in power is more important then peoples lives!
I hope the republican voters show their disapproval of Trump in their vote.
Hey Berners, this is what happens when you sit home and don't vote.
Trump is unquestionably the worst assemblage of broken chromosomes and vitriol in humanoid form since Adolph Hitler; worse, Satan McMitch will not move a polio-infused muscle to pick him up by his tiny balls and save mankind by tossing his orange carcass into an open volcano:
And this is the headline Evers and his hacks wanted, after weeks of telling us all that he didn’t want to change the election date.
Well, here in good ol' Illinois our Democrat Gov didn't delay our primary election so why should WI be any diff?
Thank God for Republicans with a backbone!!
We need to vote our choice for President. In Person. And not continue the elections to a later date. We have had our constitution shredded enough. Why is the legislature out to lunch. They are more essential than anybody. Just look at their benefits.
It’s the primary, don’t go, but remember for the general and vote them all out.
Deadly decisions have grim consequences.
Looks like lives don't matter to the Republicans. Along with letting Trump get away with slow response to Democratic Governors call for help during this crisis. Trump hasn't shown he is President of America he is only President of the Americans that agrees with him.
Good
This is brilliant. My aunt in Wisconsin was just diagnosed. It exists there more than you know and putting people’s lives at risk.
Their mad push for mail in voting has started
Finally, a leader that has balls!
Nice try corruptocrat
VoteorDie its the American Way! And all of us gritty Americans support!
May they rot in hell....
Food for them keep,up,the fight
BillyCorben Cockaroaches!!
I’m sure they can find a safe way to conduct live voting. We go to the grocery store and only the limit can enter. Sane for the voting centers. Might take longer but I’m ok with that to ensure the integrity of the results. VoterIDNow VoterID VoterFraud
WI_Elections wisgop it is a sad day when you put lives at stake in order to suppress voting rights. I hope anyone from any state who gets sick or knows someone who may die from your actions sue each and every one responsible for such an irresponsible decision. GOPHatesAmerica
The system is screwed up. Why should republicans have any say on democratic primary, and vice versa. lLawlessnessAtTheTop
If Karma is real the only republicans who bother to vote are the ones voting against Trump
I guess Ohio is blessed to have Republican Governor Mike DeWine. He put his foot down and said 'Delay the primaries until June 2!' and that was the end of that. So far, he's the only Republican who cares about his constituents.
Many years ago I loved living in WI. Now? Not so much.
This only was proposed in the 11th hour by this useless governor when he realized that all of the votes from Milwaukee & Madison were not materializing. He could have worked with the legislative weeks ago but didn’t. Now panic has set in and as usual the MSM is playing along
This is truly a display of partisan stupidity. But beings the election in Wisconsin will, indeed, happen on Tuesday, just a friendly reminder to state GOP legislators: To stay healthy, be sure to wash often for 20 seconds or more to get the blood off your hands.
The currently elected Dems must be voted OUT of office. You cannot trust them anymore. Their deep hate for everything Trump has damaged their thought process. They no longer put America First. Many in the party are anti-American. VOTE TRUMP 2020
Wisconsin Republicans suck.
Does it matter Biden is the dems choice!! Was a year ago!!
Of course they did! A few thousand people dying doesn't matter to them.
Postpone presidential election until Nov 2021.
Dems should hand out disposable gloves & masks in the parking lot to voters.
Mmmm, New York, California, Detroit, Louisiana ... and very soon, Wisconsin. Congrats, GOP legislators, for helping to make your state the next Covid-19 hot spot. Well done! Applause, applause!
👏Wisconsin Republicans 🇺🇸 Are Strong 💪 we praise you ! Be well!🙏🏼
I wonder what they’ll say when cases start springing up and contact tracing goes leads back to the polling places.
eviebauer727 They know they have to suppress the vote to have any chance of winning, just wait until the general election.
They trying to kill dems 💯
Because Republicans know they can’t win when a large population of the electorate votes. They’ve said it themselves many times.
They don't care if Dems die. Don't think we'll forget about that!
Insanity. Idiocracy. Wow.
I keep thinking the GOP can't get any more despicable, but the depth they will go to ruinamerica is clearly bottomless. history will reveal the truth.
Citizens should sue those Republicans for putting lives in danger.
Which means they'll also reject VoteByMail.
CAN'T win without voter suppression, GOP.
May each member of the WIGOPSenate feel the full effects of COVID personally and individually as they put millions of those in Wisconsin in harms way.
Even in times of crisis, the GOP effort to suppress voting continues. Shameful.
