How do they know that exactly though? Not necessarily disputing, just trying to understand how this is tracked down.

Did you read like three posts above yours for the detailed explanation from the health department?

Yes

An official from the Wisconsin Department of Health cautioned against linking the virus to election day activities, noting that several people "reported other possible exposures as well."

"Since we only have data on positive cases (without a comparison group of people who were not tested or tested negative), there is no way to know with certainty if any exposures at the polls that are reported are in fact attributable to COVID-19 illness," the person said.

So Chief Potted Plant John Roberts can add “attempted murder” to his list of accomplishments.

Up to 40 now, directly attributable to election day activities.

This doesn’t include new asymptomatic carriers.

I am surprised so few contracted the virus on election day. People were out there for hours waiting to vote in the presence of asymptomatic coronavirus victims.

And they have NO idea if that's where those 7 contracted it either

I don’t think the Department of Health officials in Wisconsin would have made a statement like this with zero evidence. There are plenty of people who were staying home and the only thing they left home for during that period was to go vote. More info here:

“The election-linked infections were identified through the Wisconsin Electronic Disease Surveillance System, an existing statewide program for reporting communicable diseases, and a version of which exists in every state. After the election, state officials added a field to the system, which is used by health officials and includes a voluntary questionnaire for people with illnesses, to ask whether respondents had either worked or voted in person on Election Day, where they worked or voted, when they developed symptoms, and if they had gotten positive test results. “That would be a flag for us, so that’s how we found out that there’s seven,” Kowalik said.”

7 reported cases so far...if it is only that, then it is a blessing.
