Milwaukee is major Kerry territory. There is a big fight over the number of ballots to have on hand for the city. During the course of the arguments, the non-partisan state Elections Board Chairman said that he is expecting an 80-85% turnout for Milwaukee... this would be HUGE!!!!
Here is the excerpt...
Milwaukee turnout in 2002 was 42% of pre-registered voters. This November, predictions are for a 75% statewide turnout, and Milwaukee could be as high as 80% to 85%, state Elections Board chief Kevin Kennedy told the group at Walker's meeting.

If this is the trend in all swing states, it is very good news for both Kerry's electoral numbers AND the national numbers.
