Milwaukee is experiencing significant ballot shortages at multiple polling places as voters turn out in historic numbers for the state supreme court race. Officials are urging voters to remain in line despite the shortages, and the city is working to send additional ballots and staff to the affected locations. While concerns have been raised about the situation, election officials assure that no voters will be turned away. This surge in participation follows a notable increase in early voting across Wisconsin, with reports indicating a 57% increase compared to prior elections. As polls prepare to close shortly, residents are reminded of the voting hours and procedures for absentee ballots.
