45,000 absentee ballots in Milwaukee have not been counted

and will be counted in the next hour, so maybe Evers can still pull this out.

1. may very well put Evers over the top Milwaukee pretty blue. Wanker has only the slimmest of leads

2. Kornacki said the live vote in Milwaukee was 2/1 for Evers, so extrapolating

If the absentee was the same percentage, he'd get 30k of the 45k absentees, a gain of 15k. That would do it.

4. He was extrapolating using the Milwaukee County numbers

But from the Milwaukee Journal article, 45,000 absentee ballots are from the City of Milwaukee, which could break more heavily for the Dems.

3. This is probably good news for Dems

The City of Milwaukee probably breaks closer to 75-80% for Democrats (Milwaukee County as a whole is less Democratic). So if the absentee votes break at approximately the same rate for Evers, it could be a big deal



It would be interesting to know what areas of Brown County still need to be counted - my guess is the City of Green Bay trends more blue then the rest of Brown Co.


Manitowoc Co. may net some Republican votes, but Dems may net some from La Crosse.
