Milwaukee early voters say why they're voting before Election Day
Early voting for the presidential election began last Tuesday in Wisconsin. On that day alone, nearly 100,000 people turned out statewide, with steady lines continuing throughout the week.
Last Wednesday, despite the cold and wind, about 30 people lined up in front of the Zeidler Municipal Building 30 minutes before it opened, waiting to cast their votes in this year’s presidential election. As more voters arrived, I asked them what motivated them to vote early, ahead of Election Day.
For 79-year-old Milwaukee resident Sam Carr, the answer was simple: he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
“If you can do it early and get it over with, do it early,” Carr says. “That’s what I did.”
WUWM’s Eric Von Fellow Nadya Kelly speaks with voters about why they voted early.
For other voters, like Robyn Schultz, voting early was a matter of convenience. She’ll be working on Election Day, so early voting works better with her schedule.
“I have an opportunity. I won’t have one in person on Election Day, and the sooner we start, the sooner we finish,” Schultz says. “Work is a constant challenge. I work in live entertainment, and they schedule events regardless of what else is on the calendar.”
Eighty-year-old Carol Dorau voted early because she’ll be volunteering at Central Count on Election Day.
“Zeidler is one of the best places to vote at too. They’re very efficient here. Nobody seems to come and then walk away because it’s not moving,” Dorau says. “But I’m so excited to see so many people voting. This is so important. This is just a monumentally important time. It’s critical.”
Twenty-four-year-old Aidan Frazier and 28-year-old Griffin Oleszczuk also mentioned how critical they feel this year’s election is.
“It was a priority to just do my, do my civic duty as early as possible. There’s a plethora of issues on the table right now. I think right now the freedom of choice is very important,” Frazier says. “These elections produce the outcomes for the community that I live in. It’s important to be an active participant in those decisions and make sure I’m helping to create the community I want to live in.”
“I think there’s a lot of issues on the line that are important and need to be handled, like the economy,” Oleszczuk says. “Inflation, high prices, groceries, gas, all of those combined I think are way too high. I think my vote is going to help bring those down.”
Schultz, the early voter mentioned previously, says her vote is her way of protecting her livelihood.
We’re all very tired of saying it and hearing it, that this is the most important election ever, but this might really be the most important election ever.

“As a trans person who is involved with labor unions, my life depends on this working out the way that we need it to. The threats posed by Project 2025 or Agenda 47, however you want to color it, are threats to my existence,” Schultz says. “It’s threats to all the things I hold so dear that I’ve worked so hard to build and protect. It’s not a spectator sport. We’re all very tired of saying it and hearing it, that this is the most important election ever, but this might really be the most important election ever.”
Seventy-two-year-old Robert Barnett says he has voted throughout his life, since he was 18. He says for this year especially, a vote has a lot of power.
“I do believe in a democracy. Your vote really matters, and knowing the situation that we’re in, or the current climate I would say that we’re in, I think it’s very important that everyone gets out and exercises that vote, that political power that we really have, and if we come together as a community, collectively, as long as we all express our desires, then I’m fine with it.”
Carr, who we heard from at the beginning, also believes in the power of voting. He says it’s a way to honor those who came before him and also shape our future.
“I do vote in every election I can. It’s very important because people have died for us being able to vote, and I want to carry on that tradition. They did it for me. I want to carry on for the future generations that come after me,” Carr says. “It’s very important to vote. That’s where your voice is heard. Even though it’s written down on a piece of paper, it’s still heard.”
Early voting in Milwaukee will continue through Nov. 3. To find your nearest early voting site, visit myvote.wi.gov.

Boston Celtics team news & key performers
The Celtics emerged from their last outing without any new injuries, but coach Joe Mazzulla might contemplate inserting Payton Pritchard into the starting lineup, possibly at the expense of Jrue Holiday, who struggled offensively, scoring just seven points in 36 minutes against the Pistons.
In terms of injuries, Sam Hauser is currently listed as day-to-day due to a back issue, while Kristaps Porzingis remains the only confirmed absentee as he continues to recover from a foot injury. Jayson Tatum put up another stellar showing on Sunday, where he racked up 37 points, including a crucial six points in the final 65 seconds to seal the win.

Andre Jackson Jr. was involved in a car accident after their loss to the Bulls, but reports indicate he escaped unscathed and is likely to be available on Tuesday.

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers narrates a new television advertisement for Vice President Kamala Harris that will play during sporting events in Wisconsin, the campaign announced Sunday.
“In this town, we’ve seen our share of hard times, heard our share of big promises,” Rivers, who is not seen in the ad, says in a voiceover. “But empty promises don’t build cities. We do — with grit, sweat and cold beer.”
The ad refers to the Foxconn deal championed by Trump, which was billed to create up to 13,000 jobs in Mount Pleasant, about 30 miles south of Milwaukee. A video played at the Democratic National Convention also took aim at Trump over the unfulfilled promises of Foxconn.
The ad also focuses on former President Donald Trump’s comment earlier this year calling Milwaukee a “horrible city” ahead of the Republican National Convention, hosted at Fiserv Forum.
Trump praised Milwaukee while campaigning at Discovery World earlier this month and plans to hold a rally at Fiserv Forum later this week.
In the final 10 days of the presidential race, Trump is also expected to roll out a Wisconsin sports figure: Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre will be a special guest speaker at Trump’s rally in Green Bay on Wednesday.
Rivers campaigned with second gentleman Doug Emhoff last week, where he shared a story of meeting Harris when she was the California attorney general and he coached the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Harris campaign says the new ad will target sports fans on channels like Fox Sports, CBS Sports and Sling. A similar ad is airing in Philadelphia.
The Trump campaign also announced a two-minute ad that will air during the Philadelphia Eagles-Cincinnati Bengals game Sunday, featuring UFC CEO Dana White’s remarks at the RNC.
