In this installment of the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, we dig into some of the challenges that would accompany holding an election amid the coronavirus pandemic. As of the publishing of this podcast, it is unclear whether Wisconsin will be the only state in the country to hold in-person voting during the month of April — the state is scheduled to go to the polls on Tuesday. The Democratic governor issued an executive order to postpone the election on Monday, but the last-minute move is being challenged in court by the Republican-controlled legislature. The team discusses why the state wasn’t able to agree on a postponement earlier.
