Democratic Gov.

Tony Evers issued an executive order about postponing Wisconsin’s primary election.

According to Reuters, he wants to move the election from April 7 to June 9.

Evers cited health risks as the reason but Republicans said they would challenge it in the state Supreme Court.

Evers tried to cancel in-person voting and extend the time to return absentee ballots into late May.

Republicans rejected that proposal and Evers then moved forward with his executive order.
