"Republican Wisconsin Senate Candidate Supports Elderly Voting Rights"

Republican Wisconsin Senate candidate Eric Hovde initially made controversial comments about elderly people in nursing homes voting, but later clarified that he does not oppose elderly people voting. Hovde's opponent, Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin, and Democrats have criticized his remarks, which were related to concerns about nursing home voting in the 2020 election. The issue of nursing home voting has been a point of contention in Wisconsin, with Republicans attempting to tighten rules about voting in nursing homes, but facing opposition from Democrats and the governor.
