A federal judge late Friday granted an emergency request by Wisconsin Democrats to extend the deadline for people to register to vote electronically to March 30 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Wisconsin law had imposed a deadline of March 18.The ruling is a partial win for the Democratic National Committee and Wisconsin Democrats who sought the extension because of the pandemic. They had asked for an extension for both electronic and by-mail voter registration until April 3.But the judge granted only the extension for electronic registration, and shortened it to March 30.
"I am glad that the judge extended the online voter registration deadline until March 30," said Marc Elias, a lawyer for the Democrats."While it is sad that Republicans sought to intervene to oppose these common sense solutions, we will continue to fight for the rights of voters in Wisconsin and around the country," he said.
