4-13-20 clerks set to count votes in wisconsin

todayApril 13, 2020

Clerks across Wisconsin will count votes Monday, six days after last week’s chaotic presidential primary. District Judge William Conley rejected a plea by Democrats and liberal groups to postpone the election, but ordered an extended period for absentee voting and barred clerks from counting the returns until Monday. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately overturned Conley’s extended absentee voting period but left intact the portion that blocked the count until 4 p.m. Monday. The race between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders was moot after Sanders dropped out, but a high-stakes state Supreme Court race was in play.  Fond du Lac County Clerk Lisa Freiberg says turnout in Fond du Lac County was 44 percent.
