NEW: A federal judge says he lacks the authority to delay the April 7 primary in Wisconsin over coronavirus concerns
The judge declined to put his own ruling on hold to give the challengers time to seek relief from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. He said the state needs to get on with preparing for the voting. But they still have the right to appeal.
Three separate lawsuits urged the judge to extend the deadline for registering to vote by mail or online and allow ballots to be counted even if they arrive after election day, provided they were postmarked on or before April 7. She said many voters might not be able to get and return their ballots in time because of self-quarantine orders.
