I feel like every time a party (GOP) tries to suppress the vote in some way and it's reported on before the election the turnout is always higher and everyone is always surprised afterwards.  When people feel like politicians don't want them to vote they take more interest in it.  This is probably why the absentee vote here ended up being so high.  Obviously coronavirus was a huge factor but reporting on this fiasco probably made people take voting by absentee at the last minute more seriously.

The news needs to just make a big effort to report on all instances of this in November.

Is the democrat doing well because turnout for Dems is higher (due to Biden/Bernie primary) or does it look like the voter preference shifted a little?  or both?

Can someone confirm the MKE results? Absolutely incredible if true. Milwaukee pulling through!

Turnout was up mostly everywhere, so it looks like a major shift. Just look at Ozaukee and MKE. These are wild numbers.

interesting.  Democrats seem to do better when Trump is on tv a lot.  Wonder how this bodes for 2020.

So is this a surprisingly large margin?  I thought people were predicting that if the D won it would only be by like 1 or 2 points.

Seems like that's meant to intimidate more than advise, as it doesn't actually say what would be appropriate.

for a swing state Wisconsin seems to produce a lot of rabid, borderline psychotic conservatives.

Being a liberal democrat in a place like Madison WI must be literal hell.  The Republicans in that state are so right wing and awful and you may have a washed up Real World cast member as Gov.  At least in VA the Gov. candidates have to fake being normal (even though Youngkin is doing a horrid job at it).

GOP hacks now want to play doctor without a license.  When will the insanity end?
