DNC asks court to put Wisconsin absentee voting requirements on hold due to coronavirus [View all]

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is asking a federal judge to put on hold Wisconsin's absentee voting requirements to make it easier for people to cast their votes by mail amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The DNC on Friday filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, a week after the judge denied its request for a temporary restraining order against the state's elections officials.

The party is asking the court to move against Wisconsin's current mail-in registration deadline, as well as its identification requirements for registration, ahead of the state's April 7 primary.

They argue that the current registration requirements would force voters to leave their homes to obtain photocopied documents for proof of ID and witness signatures for their ballots.
