People came out and voted….
Carona virus and all….
We’ll see if there is a spike in virus hits a week from now…
But people need to stop talking about changing the November National elections date…
As of Monday, Wisconsin had 2,440 confirmed cases of Covid-19, the respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus. The death toll of the virus nationwide continues to soar, with federal health officials warning that the next few weeks, which they say are critical, will be grim.
Still, social media was flooded with photos and videos of the long lines outside of polling places, and news outlets aired footage showing some voters wearing masks, with most leaving much more room than usual between them and the person in front.
“I was definitely going to go vote today, because people have fought for me to be able to vote,” Judy Gardner, a McDonald’s worker in Milwaukee who is involved with the Fight for $15 minimum-wage movement, told POLITICO. Gardner said she got to her new polling place about 20 minutes before polls opened and was able to leave about an hour and 20 minutes later.
When she arrived, she said, it wasn’t “crazy crowded, [but] there was a nice amount of people” at the polling place. Voters were adhering to social distancing as best as they could, said Gardner, who added that she wore masks and gloves to go vote.
“I took the risk because it is my right, and I want to try to make something better for future generations,” she said. “This will definitely be a story that my kids are telling their children about, my grandkids. … This will be something in history.”….

At least seven coronavirus cases can be linked back to Wisconsin’s in-person election held earlier this month in the midst of the pandemic, according to state health officials.
The cases include six voters and one poll worker from Milwaukee, where voters waited in long lines after the number of polling locations was dramatically reduced….
