Wisconsin’s April 7 election, a trial run for November if COVID-19 persists, showcased several problems with how in-person and mail-in elections are run, but so far Republican legislative leaders don’t anticipate making any statewide changes to the system.

Democrats have pushed for legislation requiring elections to be conducted primarily by mail for the rest of the year as a precaution, mirroring a process some other Western states already use, but Republicans say Wisconsin’s system for absentee ballots already works.

“We saw how flexible our system is where a vast majority of people who don’t normally vote absentee found a way to vote absentee,” Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke, R-Kaukauna, said in an interview.

During the April 7 election, Milwaukee and Green Bay voters waited for hours at the polls while lines were scant elsewhere in the state. People across Wisconsin reported not receiving ballots they had requested weeks before, an issue the state Elections Commission has not resolved. That included “three large tubs” of undelivered absentee ballots from voters in Oshkosh and Appleton.
