LINCOLN, Neb.—Nebraska is forging ahead with plans to hold the nation’s first in-person election in more than a month, despite health concerns about the CCP virus pandemic and allegations that political motivations are fueling opposition to an all-mail approach.

Barring an unexpected change, Nebraska’s primary will take place on May 12—five weeks after Wisconsin held the last in-person balloting when courts sided with Republican legislators who pushed for that election to go forward.
