Milwaukee to help residents vote by mail after in-person primary leads to virus cases

The new 'SafeVote' effort will help people cast a ballot while avoiding the dangers they experienced during the primary.
Every one of the roughly 300,000 registered voters in Milwaukee will receive an absentee ballot application in the mail, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported, helping to ensure voters will be able to cast a ballot in November's general election without having to risk their health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The move comes after Republicans in Wisconsin blocked Democratic Gov. Tony Evers from delaying the state's April 7 primary, forcing voters to violate a stay-at-home order and risk their health to cast in-person votes if they had not previously requested an absentee ballot.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the state's in-person voting sites were shuttered, meaning voters had to wait in hourslong lines to vote.
On top of that, Milwaukee's health commissioner has already tied at least seven cases of the novel coronavirus to the April 7 primary election so far.
