( Reuters) – The Wisconsin Supreme Court put the state’s chaotic presidential primary back on track, judgment on Monday that Democratic Guv Tony Evers can not delay in-person voting to June in spite of the coronavirus crisis.
Evers had actually moved earlier in the day to hold off the main election from Tuesday until June 9, mentioning health threats from the coronavirus pandemic, but Republicans rapidly submitted a legal challenge in the state Supreme Court.
The judgment suggests Wisconsin voters will head to the polls on Tuesday to vote in the main, along with state and local elections, regardless of orders to stay at house and a ban on public gatherings to restrict exposure to the infection, which has actually killed more than 10,000 individuals across the country and infected more than 350,000
Republicans argued Evers did not have the authority to delay the election and accused him of “unconstitutional overreach.”
