4-6-20 wi gop appeals to supreme court on extended voting

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to block extended absentee voting in Tuesday’s primary. They argued in a filing Saturday that the extension by a federal judge this week is inherently unfair by creating two different deadlines for in-person and absentee voters. Wisconsin is moving ahead with in-person voting despite concerns about the public health risks of the coronavirus crisis. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers called a special session for Saturday and asked Republicans to shift the election to all-mail with absentee voting into late May. Republicans said they wouldn’t do it, and immediately adjourned upon meeting.
