- At least seven people contracted the coronavirus during Wisconsin’s primary election on April 7, Milwaukee health officials said on Tuesday, confirming fears that holding in-person voting during the health crisis put people at risk.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Milwaukee had 1,697 confirmed cases of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus, and 92 deaths related to the virus. Wisconsin had 4,620 confirmed cases and 242 deaths overall, according to city and state data. President Donald Trump and many of his fellow Republicans oppose such measures. Trump has said that mail-in voting is “very dangerous” and can lead to fraud. He has acknowledged he cast an absentee ballot by mail last month in Florida’s Republican primary.
