Wednesday on Political Rewind, statewide elections in Wisconsin last night provide an interesting case study of elections under lockdown. How did the public health crisis surrounding COVID-19 impact elections there, and what can that tell us about Georgia’s upcoming elections just a month away? 

Our panel of political analysts looked at turnout numbers and the record number of issued absentee ballots in that state.

And, new polling reveals Americans are increasingly worried about coronavirus, and unsatisfied with how the situation is being handled by the president.

Panelists:

Alan Abramowitz — Political Science Professor, Emory University

Greg Bluestein — Politics Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Andra Gillespie — Political Science Professor, Emory University

Audrey Haynes — Political Science Professor, University of Georgia
