Supreme Court blocks extended absentee voting in Wisconsin primary

Source: Chanel 3000 News

MADISON, Wis. — The U.S. Supreme Court blocked a plan to extend absentee voting in Wisconsin’s spring primary by six days because of the coronavirus.
The Wisconsin election is being viewed as a national test case in a broader fight over voter access.
The Supreme Court’s decision came shortly after the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled 4-2 on Monday that Evers lacked the authority to move the election on his own.

ENDORSEMENT: Joe Biden is the far better choice to defeat Donald Trump

https://twitter.com/ShirlsAdams/status/1246904468744081408

Joe Biden is too far ahead in delegates for Bernie Sanders to catch him in the race for the Democratic nomination for president.

More significant, Biden is a much better choice to defeat the reckless and self-absorbed President Donald Trump in November.

Voters who haven’t already sent in absentee ballots favoring Biden in Wisconsin’s Democratic primary should do so now. And for the minority of voters who didn’t request an absentee ballot because of the coronavirus by Friday’s extended deadline, we recommend Biden if you cast a ballot Tuesday at the polls. (Madison planned to offer curbside voting for those with underlying health conditions or COVID-19 symptoms, and everyone else should stay 6 feet apart.)….

Sanders calls himself a “democratic socialist,” which won’t play well with most voters. He stubbornly pushes for a progressive, ideological wish list to the detriment of real progress that most Americans can benefit from and accept.

Biden has proven a much more effective leader. Rather than working on the fringe of the Senate, as Sanders does, Biden tries to get things done, often in the sensible center of American politics.
