In Wisconsin, Putting Lives at Risk to Vote

To the Editor:

Re “In Wisconsin, a Voting Fight for a Virus Era” (front page, April 7):

I am trying to understand the Supreme Court’s decision to enforce in-person voting Tuesday in Wisconsin during a pandemic. How many people are too sick to vote? How many people have no way to get to a polling place, because their local polling place is closed? A lot of voters are being disenfranchised in Wisconsin. I can only surmise that this is, indeed, the point of enforcing the vote instead of delaying it.

I am not surprised by the Wisconsin Legislature, but I expected common sense and decency from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Let’s see. Affix mask, pull on plastic gloves, take my virus-free black ink pen … All ready to go do my civic duty.

Wisconsin’s experience should be instructive. All 50 states should begin now to put in place a legal, foolproof and secure mail-in ballot system for Nov. 3.
