Yeah, it’s very blue and has high voter turnout, the whole of Dane county even
Overall Wisconsin is a pretty purple state
Edit: the state was also horribly gerrymandered after the 2010 midterms until recently. It has been turned around due to wins in the Supreme Court. Currently it is 4-3 left vs right leaning justices, but on August 1 Chris Taylor will replace Rebecca Bradley making it 5-2. Ziegler is next in 2027 meaning it could be 6-1
Wisconsin is historically left-leaning. The Republican party was founded here by abolitionists in response to the expansion of slavery. Milwaukee had a few Socialist mayors before the Cold War.
It’s a purple state now, but that’s only because we’re gerrymandered to hell. Most cities tend liberal, but Madison is on another level.
Is Madison Wisconsin supposed to represent some liberal bastion of wokeness? Wisconsin??
Relative to the surrounding area, and possibly a lot of the Midwest, yes. I lived near there for a little bit, fun town.
