After the election results were released a week later, Wisconsin waited to see if in-person voting would increase its numbers of positive COVID-19 cases.

Earlier this week, the Journal Sentinel reported that election officials agreed to send absentee ballot applications to voters in the fall.

If a letter is agreed upon and signed off then the mailing of the letter would cost about $2.25 million, but would be funded by the $7.3 million grant Wisconsin received from Congress to cover the cost of elections during the pandemic, according to the Journal Sentinel.

The week before, Evers wrote a letter to the Wisconsin Election Commission.

Although the Commission still has a few matters to decide on, for now the plans is to mail the absentee ballot request forms to registered voters in the state of Wisconsin.
