The political and legal chaos that engulfed Wisconsin’s primary Tuesday marked the beginning of a national battle over how democracy will function in the middle of a pandemic — a months-long struggle that could tip the balance of power between the major political parties.
At stake is the most basic function of a democracy — the ability to hold elections that partisans on both sides regard as valid. That consensus, already eroded in the Trump era, is now being further undermined.
Prompted by Republicans' refusal to postpone the state's primary, the Wisconsin meltdown whipsawed voters with on-again, off-again election plans, polling locations drastically reduced, and makeshift protections against contagion. It provided the most public view so far of partisan tension over election rules and how they threaten to sow chaos in upcoming primaries and the general election.
Republicans for years have viewed measures to expand access to the ballot as attempts by Democrats to gain an advantage. In the current crisis, they have launched a coordinated national effort to limit the ramp-up of absentee and mail-in voting, which have been urged by independent election-integrity experts in the face of the coronavirus.
If the pandemic continues into the fall — or if the virus recedes during the summer and then returns, as many experts expect — that could force millions of voters to choose between casting their ballots and safeguarding their health.

The Constitution has this question, answered.
States will determine how they certify their electors. And all elections within their borders.
The state legislatures will decide how and some of when.
The ONLY fed involvement is that if a state holds an election, the feds will ensure all voting laws are applied.

And they better get busy on it.
That only works when both sides are reasonable honest. In this case any election the left loses, they automatically declare to be invalid.
BTW, when are we gonna hear the numbers on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race? IIRC, that was a big one.
I checked a few media sources in Wisconsin but didn’t see anything.
Where I voted it was neat and orderly. In and out in a couple of minutes.
A Rat Party specialty since 1960

Just wait until state legislatures send a majority of electors for Trump...without even holding an election.
Or, the terrifying prospect the states could elect Biden.

um.. this wont be going on still in November, and if it is, we wont need an election because there wont be a country or a world order anymore.
One of the few careers still up and running, apparently.
I had read somewhere that they wouldn’t post results until April 13.
The Dems said the GOP was killing people. So how many died?
Hyperbolic hyperventilation by the left who can see what’s coming.

yep. they are so easy to see through but are great liars to the sheeple
I notice the author fails to mention that Democrats have through the years opposed every effort to verify that persons attempting to obtain a ballot in a precinct are actually entitled to vote in that precinct...
All according to plan.
By November we would be Venezuala, which is exactly what the CommieCrats want.
Democrats haven’t settled on the best way to steal the election yet?
How can I get certified as an independent election-integrity expert?
