An 85% voter turnout in a primary?? That's got to be some sort of record.

I realize this is only one city, but still.

The WOW Counties (which are among the reddest counties in the nation) they are projecting over 80 % turnout. They already had close to 30,000 absentee ballots, which was more than Milwaukee or Madison.

I think both sides are going to have record turnouts.

In my small township (which leans conservative) my husband just voted and was #754 which is in line with general election #s. When I voted at8:30 this morning I was 124.

Congratulations to Appleton, regardless of who they're voting for. They are a model for the rest of the country.

I'd knock on some doors, and folks thought he was from Appleton. Yep, but wrong McCarthy. I'd just say, yes, that's him, go vote for him.

Glad it didn't happen. But I guess it is harder to take advantage of same day registration now because of the voter id law

Nothing to back it up other than Cheesehead Republicans are as nasty and ignorant as they come.
