Election officials in the Midwestern U.S. state of Wisconsin are set to release results Monday from last week’s Democratic primary vote. The figures were delayed by a legal battle that saw the governor try to postpone voting due to the coronavirus outbreak, only to have his decision overturned by the state’s supreme court. Those who opposed going ahead with the vote said it made little public health sense to have people show up to polling places, while many volunteers signaled they would no longer participate.
