Don’t expect today’s (Tuesday’s) turnout for the Wisconsin State Primary Election to be anything like three months ago. Only one contest is on every ballot – the race for state school superintendent. Governor Tony Evers held the position for more than 10 years. Carolyn Stanford Taylor has been state superintendent since she was appointed by Evers in January 2019. There are seven candidates for the job and the top two finishers will advance to the spring election April 6th. Issues discussed during the campaign have included voucher programs, inequities and racism in the education system, and how schools should be reopened during a pandemic. Polls are open from 7:00 a-m to 8:00 p-m.
