About 2020 United States presidential election in Wisconsin in brief
The 2020 United States presidential election in Wisconsin was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. The Republican Party’s nominee, incumbent President Donald Trump, and running mate Vice President Mike Pence faced Democratic Party nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, and his running mate California Senator Kamala Harris. Biden ultimately won Wisconsin by a narrow 0. 63% margin over Trump, who had won it in 2016 by 0. 77% against Hillary Clinton. The 2020 Democratic National Convention was scheduled to be held at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, but was moved to the nearby Wisconsin Center due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2020, the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission voted to keep Howie Hawkins, the Green Party presidential candidate, and rapper Kanye West off of the 2020 general election ballot on the basis that the Hawkins did not have the required signatures to be on the ballot and West’s application arrived too late.
On September 14, 2020 the court ruled that the ballots would remain as-is without Hawkins or West on the ballots. On November 18, the Trump campaign wired nearly USD 3 million dollars to the Wisconsin Election Commission in a petition for a partial recount. The recount would take place in Milwaukee and Dane counties, and led to Biden gaining a net of 132 votes over Trump. On Nov 29, both counties had re-affirmed Biden’s victory, giving him a net gain of 87 votes over Donald Trump. In November 2016, Donald Trump massively outperformed his polling average in the state once again, but it was not enough to win it. Biden won 92% of black voters, 52% of white women, 58% of union households, and 61% of millennials. However, Biden carried the state with a slightly larger margin than Al Gore or John Kerry did in either 2000 or 2004, respectively.
