MADISON, Wis.—Health officials in Wisconsin said they had identified at least seven people who appear to have contracted the CCP virus from participating in the April 7 election.

The cases involve six voters and one poll worker in Milwaukee, where difficulty finding poll workers forced the city to pare nearly 200 voting locations back to just five, and where voters—some in masks, some with no protection—waited in long lines for hours.
