Wisconsin governor asks legislature to delay Tuesday's primary, make all voting by mail
- Democratic Governor Tony Evers asked Wisconsin’s Republican-controlled legislature on Friday to cancel in-person voting in next week’s presidential primary, making it an all-mail election and extending the time to return ballots until late May.
A federal judge on Thursday rejected a legal request by a voting rights group to postpone the primary in Wisconsin, where residents are under orders to stay at home and public gatherings are banned. But the judge extended the deadline for receiving absentee ballots in the contest to April 13. The pandemic has disrupted the Democratic race to pick a challenger for Republican President Donald Trump in the Nov. 3 U.S. election, forcing more than a dozen states to delay or adjust their primaries to limit the health risks.
