The Corona War that few have heard of can shake the American electoral movement

State after state in the United States has recently chosen to postpone its primary choices, for fear of the corona virus requiring more and more life even outside of New York.

But not Wisconsin. Yesterday, the state became the first to defy the pandemic and conduct voting in whaling colleges. We won't get the result until after a week, but the most interesting thing about Wisconsin's primary election is what happened before Election Day - behind the scenes.

Because it was very unclear for a long time if there would be any choice this Tuesday.

Last week, the governor of the state, Democrat Tony Evers, suggested that all 3.3 million registered voters in Wisconsin should be sent home ballots and thus have greater opportunity to avoid congestion in polling stations. The proposal was halted after loud protests from Republicans, who historically have not served on higher proportions of postal votes.

The governor's reaction did not wait. On Monday, the day before the primary election, he issued an executive order to postpone the election until June 9, citing the safety of voters and polling station workers. Republicans immediately appealed the decision to the state Supreme Court, which late Monday afternoon ruled in favor of Republicans.

Even the US Supreme Court got involved and came on Monday night with its very first coronary-related ruling that an extended deadline for filing postal votes would not be allowed.

Thus, in the course of a few days, the election in Wisconsin, changed, changed back, postponed, and then became current again.

When the election was finally carried out yesterday, many election workers had chosen not to stand, afraid of getting sick. In the largest city of Milwaukee, only seven of the normal 180 polling stations were open. Some voters queued for hours, and although many made sure to keep the distance between each other in the queue, no one knows how many new people may have been infected by the virus in connection with election day.

The democratic question now is how many people actually went to polling stations and voted. For at best, the political struggle has confused a lot of voters. In the worst case scenario, lots of voters will have failed to vote.

But while the votes in Wisconsin now count, other states are watching. Soon, more states will decide whether to hold elections, or postpone them. The risk of more party-political quarrels about the most sacred, the democratic elections, is imminent. The losers are not often the American voters.
