      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.

      Relative to the surrounding area, and possibly a lot of the Midwest, yes. I lived near there for a little bit but, fun town.

      Yeah, it’s very blue and has high voter turnout, the whole of Dane county even

      Overall Wisconsin is a pretty purple state
