It’s an easy connection to make, but it may not be true. Politifact is challenging the premise that in-person voting is to blame for at least seven coronavirus cases in Milwaukee County.
The Journal-Sentinel reports there is no firm evidence supporting tweets and Facebook stories claiming more people have become sick because Wisconsin didn’t cancel or postpone the April 7th spring elections.
Milwaukee County Health Department officials said they might have seven cases related to the in-person voting, but they are not 100-percent sure yet. A later report put the number at 19 coronavirus cases.
