Watching it unfold, it was impossible not to wonder: Is this what
we’re all in for in November? Both national parties treated the
Wisconsin situation as a test case for their arguments about how voting
should take place during the coronavirus pandemic
— and how that might benefit them as they look ahead to this fall’s
high-stakes presidential election. The factors that created the
mess—bitter partisanship, a dysfunctional and poorly funded patchwork of
different election systems and the win-at-all-costs ethos of Trumpism,
all overlaid with an unprecedented public-health emergency of unknown
duration—are all national in scope. “Wisconsin’s in-person vote, held in
the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, is unconscionable, and portends
major problems for the November election should the pandemic recur in
the fall,” says Adam Hilton, a political scientist at Mount Holyoke
College in Massachusetts.
