I agree that #7 in particular is really unfair, but the Wisconsin Elections Commission clarified last night that there is no remedy for voters who followed Judge Conley’s order allowing absentee voting without a witness while it was in force.
There's no doubt in my mind we should've postponed in-person voting for the health & safety of our communities. That said, this is exactly why elections matter. If you vote today, please practice #SocialDistancing. Stay safe & healthy. #WisconsinElection #WisconsinPandemicVoting
