It pains me to say this, but no persuadable voter cares about this. They're way more worried about CRT, an issue that doesn't exist.

Actually a lot do and the midterms proved it.

that comment is exactly why I have SL on ignore.

It’s also the best way to show voter turnout in Wisconsin because there is same day voter registration.

This feels pretty dumb.

Another day, another 1,400 Madisonians out to early vote. According to the clerks office, just over 27,000 people have requested absentees, which is a bit over 14% of all registered voters.

This is really good turnout for Madison thus far?

Well, at 11am on Feb 21st (the primary day) there were 19,633 votes cast in Madison. There are over 27,000 absentees requested as of today, which is 8,000 more than had voted by 11am on the primary day.

….and there are still 9 days left of early voting.

I'll take that as a yes.

The more noteworthy takeaway is that Milwaukee is middle of the pack, whereas in Hagedorn’s narrow 2019 win, Milwaukee had atrocious turnout.

Which is why I’m still optimistic.

[Roll Roons]

Also Hagedorn only lost Milwaukee County by 25. For comparison, Evers won it by 43 and Barnes won it by 40.

[walleye26]

As of yesterday at 8:45 AM, Madison had 28,618 absentee ballots requested, and last night the Clerk’s office stated 1,453 people voted absentee.

That means 30,000 Madisonians have either requested an absentee or have already voted, which is a 15.5% turnout thus far.

I mean that's an unfair comparison - even when Dems win court races historically Milwaukee is less Democratic than in November races thanks to turnout issue. But Hagedorn did outperform even that benchmark: 31 Points in Dalet's 2018 win, 35 points in Karofsky's 2020 win.

The higher the turnout there the better and with students back from spring break it should go even higher. I heard there is a big effort to get students in Madison, La Crosse and Eau Claire to vote.

Wow Milwaukee is really turning out this time around. Hope it’s sustained all the way through Election Day.

Yes, Eau Claire in particular is doing a lot. I can’t speak to the colleges themselves, but Eau Claire is setting up drive-through voting and hundreds of people are using them each day.

Madison is saying 31,000+ absentees have been requested. For a bit of comparison, at 4pm on Feb 21st (the primary election) 44,975 Madisonians voted. With 6 more days of in-person early voting (averaging about 1,400 voters per day) Madison should be close to the 4pm Election Day turnout before Election Day even rolls around.
