US Supreme Court Blocks Extension Of Absentee Voting In Today’s Election

Absentee voters won’t get any extra time to submit their ballots.  The U-S Supreme Court has blocked a plan to extend the deadline for turning those ballots in.  It had been tentatively extended to April 13^th in reaction to the coronavirus pandemic.  Instead, today (Tuesday) is the deadline.  The Wisconsin spring election is being viewed by many as a national test case in a broader legal battle over voter access.  The U-S Supreme Court’s Monday decision came shortly after the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers didn’t have the authority to move the election date.
