One 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 Wisconsin’s 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.
