Early voting spikes late in GOP suburbs

MADISON - Wisconsin election officials have now received nearly 800,000 early ballots, far exceeding the number tallied in the two previous presidential elections.

The latest figures from the Wisconsin Elections Commission show early voting continued to pick up steam last week in the ultra-conservative “WOW” counties – Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington – and in Dane and Milwaukee counties, historically liberal strongholds. Early voting also spiked in Brown and Outagamie counties, which has a heated congressional race on Nov. 8 ballots.

Wisconsin should closely mirror Iowa imo.

Sort of misleading thread title. Makes it seem like the GOP got an advantage in early voting, when in fact liberal areas also spiked.

Republican voters have ALWAYS turned out in greater number than the Rats on election day.

Hellary needs a huge lead in early votes to have even a remote chance. If she’s narrowly ahead we are looking at a Trump landside

People are early voting or getting absentee ballots, thinking that there’s going to be long lines tomorrow. I was going to do the same thing, but missed the absentee ballot deadline. As a result, I’m taking an extended lunch tomorrow from work just to vote so I don’t have to deal with it in the evening.

Wow...why are you always so negative. Every thread...You do realize that part of the process is to pump ourselves and our compatriots up. The title is not misleading - it is factually stating that there is a spike in GO (i.e. WOW) counties.

I lived in Wisconsin for my first 38 years, trust me, it’s a heartbreaker when it comes to Republican presidential politics, and it’s often misread. (see GHW Bush’s decision to visit the state 4x in the last 4 days of the 1992 campaign, because Mary Matalin thought it was close...lost by 5 pts.)

But, the narrower Hillary’s victory there, the better Ron Johnson’s chances. The total nightmare scenario is Hillary with an effective Democratic Senate majority (50 seats with Kaine as tie breaker.) She will have at least 2 and maybe as many as 4 SCOTUS nominations in a first term. That will hurt, real bad.

Just watched Trump’s ad running on the Lou Dobbs show. Damn, that was inspiring - words from his speech indicting the global world order and the elites who run it.

I tweeted Scott Walker that if he delivers Wisconsin for TRUMP, TRUMP Supporters will not forget it! =)

Are "early votes" the same as "absentee" votes? According to this site, approximately 797,000 absentee ballots are in. The link breaks it down by county.

I just found the thread title misleading. If you’re fine with, I withdraw my previous comments.

It won’t be over tomorrow after Trump wins! It won’t be over until we rid the cesspool of Ryan and his ilk!

My son and I early voted back on 10/28 and it was the same as an absentee ballot including stuffing and signing the envelope, except we did it right in the village clerk’s office. My GF is in Texas and she did vote absentee but I dropped her ballot off instead of mailing it. We live in one of the ‘WOW’ counties and I doubt we’d have anything to worry about as far as shenanigans.
