As of today, Real Clear Politics has Kamala Harris up by only 0.3% in Wisconsin. Early voting is still underway, although those times and end dates vary so check with your municipality if you live in the Dairy State.
Some of the early voting (EV) returns are not looking good for Harris:
The WI EV numbers look so so bad for Harris today. I wish I could talk to someone without doomscrollers everywhere about this in an honest way.

That Donald Trump is outpacing Ron Johnson is something. In 2022, which was not a good year for Republicans, Johnson beat former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes by a percentage point. And Trump is now outpacing him.

This is also good for Republicans.
Based on this how much could Trump win Wisconsin by?

Excellent question.
I project 4. I can’t resolve a path for her anymore.

Once again, the red counties outpace the blue ones. That’s good news.

Total Ballots Returned are down: 399,910 (-23.1%)
In-Person Ballots Cast are up: 258,627 (+47.7%)Notable County Numbers:

🔵 Dane: 56,726 down (-24.2%)
🔴 Waukesha: 21,996 down (-12.9%)…— Nathan Trueblood (@NathanTrueblood) November 1, 2024
So while numbers are down, they’re down more in blue counties of Dane and Milwaukee than the red counties.

This also tracks with changes from COVID and the midterms to a big presidential election year.
For this writer, today was the last day to early vote in her city. She voted.
It is still going to be a close race, but these things are good for Trump and bad for Kamala. Go vote and keep them this way.
