The Takeaway Presents: Every Vote Counts | Wisconsin

After cities and states across the U.S. entered lockdown this spring to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Wisconsin proceeded with in-person voting for its April 7th primary despite guidance by the C.D.C. against gatherings of 50 or more people. The move was widely criticized and images of people waiting in long lines for hours to vote dominated news coverage. A record number of voters did request absentee ballots but thousands weren’t received or were sent back too late.

Five months later, The Takeaway‘s Amy Walter sits down with Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe to discuss what the state is doing to prepare for a safe and secure general election.
