Absentee ballot counting still ongoing at the Milwaukee central count location. 169,341 early votes (absentee and in-person) cast in the city that need to be counted. When we were given an update earlier this evening, that is expected to be done by mid-morning. @fox6now Staff will continue the count until finished. Those results will then be put onto encrypted drives and hand-delivered by the city’s elections chief, with police escort, to the county courthouse to be manually loaded into the reporting system. @fox6now

On my way in, I decided to spin by my local places in @Walkers_Point, and they were packed as they normally would be on a Sunday. Across the country, mixed messaging isn't helping matters, but to me it's simple: Just stay home. propublica.org/article/no-mat… I know, it's hard. It's sunny out and you want to support the businesses where you live, and be with others. But by doing more, now, we can lessen the impact later. #flatteningthecurve hub.jhu.edu/2020/03/13/wha…
