Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, abortion care has stopped since the Supreme Court’s ruling, as the state’s 1849 abortion ban makes its way through the courts. Additionally, state lawmakers recently rejected Gov. Tony Evers’ bid to repeal the state’s dormant abortion ban. And on the ballot incumbent Senator Ron Johnson is seeking election to a third term in a hotly contested race, a man who has said that abortion “might be a little messy for some people, but is not going away” and is “basically a non-issue”.

According to TargetSmart data, among new registrants since June 24, women have out-registered men by 15.6%.

Democrats make up 52.36% of all of those newly registered voters, compared with 16.59% of new voters registering as Republicans.

Wisconsin is a perennial battleground. In 2020, President Biden carried the state by a margin of just 30,000 votes, receiving 49.5% of the vote to Trump’s 48.8%. In 2018, Governor Tony Evers (D) won the election by a similar margin of 30,000 votes, winning with 49.6% of the vote to his opponent Scott Walker’s 48.5%. In 2016, Donald Trump carried the state by a razor tight margin, 47.2% to Hillary Clinton’s 46.5%.
