I know this is DU, but I think Evers is handling the election situation poorly. I'm not a civics scholar, but is it too much trouble to push it out to May 7? Who would need to approve it.
I voted today in person at the Waukesha City Hall. I had to make an appointment last week to vote today. They were allowing only three people inside every fifteen minutes. I show up at 8 am sharp with two others, only to be told the computers are down. The other two were given envelopes and left. I decided to stick around a few minutes. Eventually, two staffers validated my eligibility manually and the third gave me a ballot. After filling out the ballot, I had to put it an envelope and stuff it in the ballot box. By law, not allowed to be "given" a ballot. I had to fill out the oversized envelope and the yellow request card. They took the card and my ID, issued the ballot and went from there.
Mail-in voting is not going to work this time because it is so close to the election, now. My wife got her ballot in the mail last week after about a ten calendar-day delay. This is going to be voter suppression on a large scale, and this time it will be on Evers. I hope our side doesn't lose elections over this.
On edit: found out yesterday that Waukesha (pop 75K) will have only one polling place open.
