Waukesha County election turnout; GOP wins, Harris support

When all is said and done, Wartman said she expects about 97% total Waukesha County voter turnout for this election.

Carroll University is trying to boost turnout with its "Democracy Day" on campus. Leaders canceled classes on Tuesday morning and afternoon to give students time to vote. FOX6 News spoke to a couple of students who voted for the first time.

"I had the opportunity to go home today. I said no," said Casey Butler, who registered to vote in Waukesha instead of voting absentee in Illinois, which she considers home. "I voted here with my teammates and friends."

"I think that Carroll in particular really pushed you to vote, and it helped people to go vote," said Madeline Maar.

Poll workers told FOX6 News there was a line out the door at the Carroll University polling location on Tuesday morning. It was so busy, some people waited more than an hour to vote.
