A federal judge says holding Wisconsin’s spring election next week is “a really bad public policy idea and they should stop it.”
Judge William Conley says he doesn’t have the legal authority to postpone the vote.
Conley was referring to Democratic Governor Tony Evers and Republican legislative leaders who he thinks have abdicated their responsibilities and refused to “step up” during a crisis.
Voters will cast ballots on the presidential primary, a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and hundreds of local elected offices.
Judge Conley says if anyone gets COVID-19 while voting, the governor and lawmakers will be to blame.
