Wisconsin Democratic Party chairman warns likely ‘red mirage’ in election results will precede ‘blue shift’ – Washington Examiner

In a recent statement, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wikler warned of a potential⁢ “red mirage” in the election results, suggesting that initial reports​ favoring⁤ Donald Trump⁤ may not reflect the final outcome. Speaking on MSNBC, Wikler explained that early⁤ voting results, particularly those from urban areas like Milwaukee, might‍ not be tallied until ‌later, leading to an initial impression of Trump leading the⁣ election. He predicts that absentee ballots, which are expected to favor ⁢Kamala Harris, will eventually shift‍ the​ results toward a “blue shift” once counted. ​This underscores the importance of understanding that early returns may be misleading and that the final results ⁤could indicate a different trend.

Wisconsin Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wikler predicted that if it appears that former President Donald Trump is winning his state, it will be a temporary “red mirage.”

Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are battling for the state’s 10 electoral votes on Tuesday. Wikler appeared on MSNBC to make the argument that once the results start pouring in and Trump looks to be in the lead, it is not to be believed.

“So, in Milwaukee, you’ll see 100% of precincts reporting before you see the numbers that come out of those early votes in person, and those absentee ballots, which, my guess is, are heavily weighted toward Harris supporters,” Wikler said. “So, that means that you’re gonna see a red mirage, where it seems like Trump is doing better than he actually is because they haven’t counted and reported those absentee ballots yet, and then the blue shift when those ballots are introduced to add to the totals. That could be in the middle of the night. It certainly was in 2020.”

Trump lost Wisconsin in 2020 after winning the state in 2016.

Polls are open across Wisconsin until 8 p.m. Central. Voters who are in line by that time will be allowed to vote.
