4-4-20 evers calls special session to change election

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Tony Evers is calling on the Legislature to meet in special session to approve moving Wisconsin’s presidential primary to an all-mail footing. Voting advocacy groups and Evers’ fellow Democrats have been pushing him and Republican legislative leaders to postpone Tuesday’s election as the coronavirus spreads but Republicans have refused to make any changes. Evers on Friday called a special session starting Saturday to adopt bills that would allow people to vote only by absentee ballot. The call doesn’t mandate lawmakers take any action and the GOP has already vowed to see the election through as scheduled.
