MADISON, Wis. (AP) - If Wisconsin was a test case for voting in the age of coronavirus, it did not go well for many voters.
Thousands were forced to congregate for hours in long lines on Tuesday with no protective gear. Thousands more stayed home, unwilling to risk their health and unable to be counted because requested absentee ballots never arrived.
Voters reported being afraid, angry and embarrassed by the state’s unwillingness to postpone their presidential primary elections as more than a dozen other states have already done. Neither Joe Biden nor Bernie Sanders will be declared a winner at least until next Monday in accordance with one of several court orders that shaped the contest.
And there was evidence that minority voters were disproportionately impacted by widespread poll closures in their communities. Michael Claus, 66, wore a protective mask and a Tuskegee Airmen cap, as he waited to vote.

>>because requested absentee ballots never arrived.
or perhaps got diverted/delayed
those concerned should investigate to see if they “voted” even though they personally never received the ballot.
“And there was evidence that minority voters were disproportionately impacted by widespread poll closures in their communities.”
Race pimping for the Pelousy and Schemer, to advance their election-stealing plans for November.
Poll closures? That’s an issue for the local Board of Elections...
You can’t postpone the elections and if people stayed home, that is their choice. Going to vote is not dangerous to your health, you are not shaking hands with anyone. Wear your bandana and some gloves.
Exactly since voter ID be wacist!
The Democrats hit the minority community gets the virus with terrible results hard and fast narrative for the past two days because they want the election results tossed.
Thousands were forced to congregate for hours in long lines on Tuesday with no protective gear. .......
Michael Claus, 66, wore a protective mask and a Tuskegee Airmen cap, as he waited to vote.
I thought you just said they were FORCED to wait in line with no protective gear...
I voted yesterday and we had drive up voting. It was nice and were in line for about 15 minutes which is about normal and both the Mrs. and I did our part to vote for Kelly.
Did Kelly win?
It’s as if folks cannot think for themselves.
How about increasing the spacing in line? They do it at Costco!
How about setting up more voting tables?
How about gifting everyone a 4 inch golf pencil
So I haven’t followed this, why can’t the release the results until the 13th? What is the federal ruling that is holding them up from counting/releasing the vote totals?
They have to wait for all the fraudulent ballot harvested votes to be counted. Oh wait, the Dem volunteers have had to fill them all out in their homes because they couldn’t canvas? Must be tough to make up that many names in such a short time.
“minority voters were disproportionately impacted by widespread poll closures”
Doesn’t this always seem to be the case? A universal, never-ending law?
