Recent efforts in Wisconsin are aiming to address the drop-off in Black voter turnout over the past decade, particularly in areas like North Milwaukee, which has the most concentrated Black population in the state. The Biden campaign has launched a live 'relational organizing' pilot program to engage with voters who have been historically disengaged from the political process.
Wisconsin is a crucial state for both parties, with narrow margins of victory in recent elections. In 2020, Biden won the state by fewer than 21,000 votes, while Trump secured a victory in 2016 by fewer than 23,000 votes. Black voter engagement has been significantly lower than expected in these elections, prompting a reevaluation of outreach strategies.
