4-7-20 wisconsin moves forward with election despite virus concerns

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Voters in Wisconsin face a choice Tuesday of participating in a presidential primary election or heeding warnings from public health officials to stay away from large crowds during the coronavirus pandemic. Hours after Democratic Gov. Tony Evers issued an executive order Monday postponing the election for two months, the Wisconsin Supreme Court sided with Republicans who said he didn’t have the authority to reschedule the race on his own. The decision leaves Wisconsin as the only state with an election scheduled in April that is proceeding as planned.
