'No one should be forced to choose between their right to vote and their right to stay healthy like the debacle in Wisconsin this week,' Obama tweeted Friday.
Wisconsin has been under a safer-at-home order since March."All Wisconsinites must stay at home as much as possible and non-essential businesses and operations must cease, with limited exceptions for minimum basic operations and working from home," read information on Governor Evers' website."All public and private gatherings of any number of people that are not part of a single household or living unit are prohibited, except for the limited exceptions contained in the order.
"Frankly, there's not a good answer to this problem," Evers said in a Monday statement."I wish it were easy. I have been asking everyone to do their part to help keep our families, our neighbors, and our communities safe, and I had hoped that the Legislature would do its part—just as the rest of us are—to help keep people healthy and safe."
Evers also attempted to extend the deadline for voting officials to receive mail-in ballots until June.
