My friend Erin Stilp took this video, her sister-in-law is in line. This is at Riveraide HS in Mke. This is my normal polling place, but I voted absentee. Hundreds in line and very long wait. What is happening here is unconscionable. pic.twitter.com/TwEHLJlUY1

A pair of voters brought chairs to the polls with them to ease the roughly 1-hour wait to cast their ballots at Washington High School in Milwaukee's Sherman Park neighborhood on April 7, 2020. Most groups of voters maintained several feet of distance, which the angle of this shot obscures. Photo by David Wise.

See the white truck waaay back there? That’s about where I got in line two hours ago. Almost to the front of the line @GBWestHS. #WisconsinPrimary pic.twitter.com/BSpG3U1bdw
