Sanders Statement on Wisconsin Primary
BURLINGTON, Vt. – Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday issued the following statement ahead of Wisconsin’s April 7th primary:
“People should not be forced to put their lives on the line to vote, which is why 15 states are now following the advice of public health experts and delaying their elections. We urge Wisconsin to join them. The state should delay Tuesday’s vote, extend early voting and work to move entirely to vote-by-mail. While we wait for a decision, we urge our supporters to vote-by-mail.”
