Over 66 Million Votes Cast Nationwide as Harris and Trump Campaign in Wisconsin
With more than 66 million ballots already cast in the U.S. presidential election, attention turns to Wisconsin, a crucial swing state buzzing with anticipation ahead of campaign stops by both President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Milwaukee, a key city in the state, has witnessed a significant surge in early voting activity. At a polling station near the local university, a steady flow of voters has prompted officials to open an additional room to handle the high volume of voter registrations. The precinct head remarked, “We’ve seen way more early voters than expected,” reflecting heightened interest in this pivotal election.
Statewide, more than 1.2 million people have already voted, though it remains unclear which candidate may benefit from the early turnout. The high number of early ballots could mean a long night of counting in Milwaukee, with one election official suggesting that the city might be tallying votes until 2 or 3 a.m. on election night. The extended counting timeline adds another layer of suspense to a state that has consistently proven crucial in past elections.
