Putting Wisconsin voters at risk by playing politics and forcing the voters to wait in long lines and stand for hours to vote, was not a very smart tactic in the run up to the General Election.
Even as more that half a dozen other states did move their primary election in support of the health and well being of their voters, what is a cheese head (CH) to think?
[for the record, my wife was born and raised in Ozaukee County, and graduated from UW Madison; I use CH lovingly]
"The 2016 United States presidential election in Wisconsin was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Wisconsin voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting Republican Party nominee Donald Trump against Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton.
On April 5, 2016, in the presidential primaries, Wisconsin voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic and Republican Parties' respective nominees for president in an open primary; voters were allowed to vote in either party's primary regardless of their own party affiliation. Bernie Sanders prevailed in Wisconsin's Democratic primary, while Ted Cruz won Wisconsin's Republican primary.
In the general election, Donald Trump unexpectedly won Wisconsin by a narrow margin of 0.77%, with 47.22% of the total votes over the 46.45% of Hillary Clinton. Wisconsin was the tipping-point state of the 2016 election; that is, when the state was called for Trump, its 10 Electoral College votes brought Trump's electoral vote total to 270 (the amount needed to win the national election).[2]
