Early voting numbers soar in Milwaukee, up 600% from last two presidential primaries

Possible good news for HRC? Milwaukee would be considered her stronghold.

MILWAUKEE -- The numbers are in...8,000 people voted during Milwaukee's early voting period -- a much larger number than anticipated -- which many believe could lead to record-breaking turnout on Election Day -- Tuesday, April 5th.

The 8,000 people who cast their ballots over the last two weeks in Milwaukee is an increase of 600% from the presidential primaries in 2008 and 2012.

"We knew it was going to go up, we just didn't think it would go up from 1,200 to 8,000," said Neil Albrecht, Milwaukee election commissioner.

Voters with business schedules, child care concerns and out-of-town trips were some of the reasons given for the early in-person voting.
