I just spoke to a healthcare worker from Milwaukee, 34, who is 17 weeks pregnant, and has coronavirus.
She requested an absentee ballot a week ago. It never came.
She can& #39;t go out in public without putting others in danger. Now, she can& #39;t vote. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/us/politics/wisconsin-primary-election.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/0...

Her name is Hannah Gleeson, and she was looking forward to voting.
“I feel like especially right now, when there are so many things that can make you feel hopeless, voting is one of the only things that is still within your power."

She tried calling the election commission late last night, but could only leave a voicemail. This morning, she heard back.
"They kind of said, yeah, that really sucks, hopefully you’ll have better luck with the next election.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/us/politics/wisconsin-primary-election.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/0...
