The Wisconsin GOP scored an own goal in last Tuesday's voter suppression efforts. Turnout in deep blue Milwaukee is up nearly 20% v 2018 and 2016, vote shares in key swing counties are around 5-10 percentage points more liberal and all but 3 counties have shifted to the left. https://twitter.com/ZekeJMiller/status/1249850340909953025
One hypothesis is that voters were turned off by the state Republican party's flagrant and transparent efforts to suppress the vote, so they turned out & voted against them. Another is that we can't reliably predict how the pandemic will change turnout patterns ahead of time.
