Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday vetoed bills that would have narrowed the criteria for mail-in voting and bolstered security surrounding absentee ballots.

Evers, a Democrat, cast the six measures as overly restrictive and said he was vetoing them “to protect the right of every eligible person to vote.”
