Georgia Postpones Primaries Again Because of Coronavirus

Associated Press

   ATLANTA - Georgia on Thursday postponed primary elections for the
   second time this year because of the coronavirus, pushing back
   primaries scheduled for May to June.

   The move came a day after New Jersey and Virginia joined at least 15
   other states in delaying their primaries amid the coronavirus pandemic
   so election officials can make preparations to address public health
   concerns and deal with a poll worker shortage brought on by the
   outbreak.

   On Tuesday, Wisconsin went ahead with its elections, forcing thousands
   of voters to brave hourslong lines and overcrowded polling places amid
   the pandemic.
