Wisconsin has followed a trend across battleground states, posting much higher in-person absentee voting this year than in 2020.

Three days after in-person absentee voting started on Oct. 22, the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) reported that 292,702 absentee ballots had been cast that way. The equivalent period during 2020 saw just 209,665 such ballots, meaning this year had a 39 percent surge.
