Mayors Demand Lawmakers Use "Emergency Powers" To Ban Voting, Force Mail-In Only From Conservative Daily Press: Mayors in Wisconsin are calling on state lawmakers to enact “emergency powers” that would eliminate in-person voting in the state… during the COVID-19 outbreak. The Sheboygan Press reported: Ten mayors from across Wisconsin — along with dozens of local and state officials throughout the state — are calling on state Health Secretary-designee Andrea Palm to ban in-person voting during Tuesday’s election due to the coronavirus pandemic. And they want state lawmakers to work with Gov. Tony Evers to move to a mail-only election, saying that would protect public safety and people’s ability to vote. The mayors, including those who lead some of Wisconsin’s largest cities, and officials urged Palm “to exercise the emergency powers delegated to you” in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19. “We need you to step up and stop the State of Wisconsin from putting hundreds of thousands of citizens at risk by requiring them to vote at the polls while this ugly pandemic spreads,” the letter reads. It was initially signed by Tom Barrett of Milwaukee, Eric Genrich of Green Bay, Lori Palmeri of Oshkosh, Tim Kabat of La Crosse, John Antaramian of Kenosha, Cory Mason of Racine, Tim Hanna of Appleton, Satya Rhodes-Conway of Madison, Karen Mischel of Viroqua and Kathy Ehley of Wauwatosa. The list has since grown to include city, county, state and schools officials from Wausau to Kenosha. https://conservativedailypost.com/mayors-demand-lawmakers-use-emergency-powers-to-ban-voting-force-mail-in-only/?utm_source=Push&utm_campaign=OneSignal&utm_term=6_April-1
