This Wisconsin State Fair has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The board of directors overseeing the state’s largest gathering said while some social distancing restrictions have been lifted, the annual 11-day gathering, which attracts more than 1 million people, was too risky.

The state would send roughly 2.7 million registered voters absentee ballot applications under a motion approved unanimously by the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission.

Of the 2.4 million weekly claims submitted to the state between March 15 and May 23, about 728,000 had yet to be paid as of the latter date, according to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development.

The state Supreme Court won't take up a second lawsuit challenging Wisconsin's "Safer at Home" order, a step that could preserve the power of local governments to issue their own stay-at-home restrictions.
