Governor Tony Evers asked lawmakers to ensure that all of Wisconsin’s 3.3 million registered voters receive absentee ballots as the state moves forward with plans to hold its April 7 primary election despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Evers, a Democrat, said the request to the Republican-held state legislature was made to allow as many people as possible vote while many Americans are staying at home to limit the spread of the virus. Evers declared a state of emergency in Wisconsin last week, but both he and Republican leaders in the legislature opposed any move to delay the vote, as several states have done.
