Early voting begins in Wisconsin primary featuring chaotic Democratic governor's race

PBS NewsHour / AP · back to the audit

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Early in-person voting began Tuesday in swing state Wisconsin's chaotic Democratic primary for governor, with a democratic socialist trying to overcome the incumbent governor's choice to replace him. Democrats are hoping to retain control of the governor's office and flip both chambers of the Legislature to earn full control of Wisconsin state government for the first time since 2010. But they have failed to coalesce around one candidate for the top job, spurring fears that they could miss an opportunity to win in November.
