MILWAUKEE - Wisconsin is set to hold in-person voting next week after the state’s legislature on Saturday declined to take up an effort delaying the presidential primary due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The state’s Republican-controlled legislature quickly ended special weekend sessions without taking action on a call by Democratic Governor Tony Evers to make Tuesday’s primary an all-mail election and extend the time to return ballots until late May, local media outlets reported. Leaders in the legislature, which has the sole authority to delay the ballot, blasted Evers for a late reversal on holding voting and said the election, which also will decide thousands of state and local offices, must go ahead as planned. Legislators could still reconsider in the coming days.
“Republicans in the Legislature are playing politics with public safety and ignoring the urgency of this public health crisis,” Evers said in a statement. “It’s wrong. No one should have to choose between their health and their right to vote.”

Voter ID!
Everyone should wear masks and refuse to remove them when their IDs are checked—if they do that. That's nuts. Voting should not risk your life. That doesn't really encourage turnout.
Ok now we know for sure
This is insane
What the eff is wrong with Republicans?
Wonder what the turnout will be.
