Gov. Tony Evers issued an executive order to delay the state’s presidential primary from April 7 until June 9 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
If Evers’ executive order holds, Wisconsin would become the 16th state to delay its election amid the pandemic.
Republicans are expected to immediately challenge the governor’s order in state court.
Evers had been reluctant to act due to concerns a postponement would be quickly overturned by the state Supreme Court and impact his authority to fight the pandemic.
