The Narrative

For John, BLUF:  In this time of Winnie the Flu there are likely few good answers.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

"Why did Gov. Tony Evers, a Wisconsin Democrat, change his mind by trying to postpone the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election this week..."

From The Althouse Blog, by Professor Althouse, 11 April 2020.

Here is the lede plus one:

"... when both he and Vice President Joe Biden had just recently said that the voting could proceed?  It's really simple.  Republican areas in the state had turned in many more absentee ballots than Democratic areas.  This was shocking, because most people had assumed the race between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders would give Democrats a huge turnout edge.  That's when Evers panicked.  To cancel an election the day before the vote — after your state party realizes it might be getting outvoted in absentees — is a pretty cynical move...  If Evers had canceled the voting earlier, before seeing how many absentee ballots came in from Republican areas, this would not be an issue.  But he wanted to wait until the eleventh hour...."

Writes John Pudner in The Washington Examiner.  By posting this, I'm not saying I agree.  It's just a point of view that I would like to be seen.  I really don't know why Evers did what he did.

This puts a different spin on things.

Hat tip to Ann Althouse.

UPDATE:  To make the point that this was not just a Primary, but an election for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court.
