WASHINGTON - Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, won the Wisconsin primary on Monday , nearly a week after the state held controversial elections that forced voters to defy a stay-at-home order to cast their ballots amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Wisconsin's election, held April 7, has been mired in partisan acrimony. Democrats sought to postpone the vote because of the virus, as public health officials warned against public gatherings urged all residents to stay in their homes. But Republicans in the state legislature and the courts ordered the vote to proceed, blocking the governor's order for a delay.

Many states have postponed their upcoming presidential primaries as stay-at-home orders remain in place across most of the country. In Maryland, Governor Larry Hogan ordered the state's June 2 primary to be conducted mostly by mail with limited in-person voting.
