Crap...Bernie is on TV asking us to delay primary... [View all]
I understand why he wants it but in Wisconsin our local offices are up for re-election in the non-partisan elections...
By statute they have to be elected on the second Tuesday of April and be seated (sworn in) by the 3rd Tuesday in April. There isn't any provision by statute of delaying that election and it DOES NOT provide that the current officials hold office until their successor is elected/sworn in. This is a problem that I don't think Bernie understands.
