Gov Evers called the state legislature into an emergency session on Sat, The GOP, who is locked into a Trumpian "No To Everything" mindset, promptly went into session and, within seconds adjourned until Monday.
Gov. Evers also called for a mail-only election for 2020, which was the main reason for the special session.

So no action on protecting voters or pollworkers.

Wisconsin should become national news over this in-person voting election on Tues April 7th.
