Related: About this forumOne day before Wisconsin election, Gov. Tony Evers delays in-person voting
Gov. Tony Evers is calling off in-person voting and postponing it until June 9 in a new executive order that comes one day before Wisconsins spring election.
Under the directive the latest development in a tumultuous timeline spanning the last few days and weeks absentee ballots that have already been cast will still be counted, while voters who are already registered could continue to request absentee ballots until June 5.
The eleventh-hour delay comes after the Democratic executive pushed the Republican-controlled Legislature to take up a bill creating a mostly mail-in election and extending voting to the end of May. GOP leaders declined to do so in a special session over the weekend, opting instead to gavel in and out without acting.
