MADNESS: GOP COURT RULES FOR PRIMARY IN A PANDEMIC
Wisconsin will hold its primary election on Tuesday after all.
The states high court blocked Gov. Tony Evers (D) executive order calling for a postponement of in-person voting until June a win for Republicans in the state who have fought any election day changes to account for the coronavirus pandemic.
The 4-2 decision, with conservative justices in favor and liberal justices dissenting, came less than a day before polls are set to open in Wisconsin.

I hope that nobody dies because of this stupid decision.

it's a question of statistics... We will see a bump in the infection rate that will be traceable to the election. For there, a certain number of people will die from that increase number of infections.
Statistical certainty.
The only way this doesn't happen is if nobody, and I mean nobody, shows up to work the polling locations and / or to vote... which is exactly what Republicans want.
