State data shows, as of Wednesday, just over 71,000 people have voted early in the city of Milwaukee. That's under a third of the city's total voters in 2020.
MILWAUKEE — There is less than a week until polls close and Wisconsin's largest voting block is lagging when it comes to early voting numbers.
State data shows that as of Wednesday, just over 71,000 people have voted early in the city of Milwaukee.
That's under a third of the city's total voters in 2020, around 247,000.
Compare that to nearby Brookfield in Waukesha County, which has already seen over half of their 2020 voters vote early so far.
"When you hear that Milwaukee is being outpaced by other cities and counties, what's your reaction?" TMJ4's Mariam Mackar asked Milwaukee County Democratic Party Chair, Christine Sinicke.
"It's concerning," Sinicke answered. "From day one we have been very concerned about the Black and Brown vote, so we need to really concentrate and make sure that we are in those communities working to get them to the polls."
For Milwaukee County Republican Chair, Hilario Deleon, a slower showing in the Democratic city this far is a good sign for the GOP.
"I think it shows and demonstrates that the sugar-high the Democrat party had for Kamala Harris is finally worn off," Deleon told Mackar.

For context, in 2020 Biden won 78% of Milwaukee's votes. Trump, received around 20%. It was the city of Milwaukee's votes being tallied that tipped the scales toward Biden winning the state by only 20,000 ballots.

Wisconsin does not break down early voting by party so I am flying blind there.

“From day one we have been very concerned about the Black and Brown vote,”
Could you imagine President Trump saying, “From day one we have been very concerned about the white vote” yet the left is never held accountable.
