Battleground state of Wisconsin has 75,000 voters on first day of early in-person voting

The battleground state of Wisconsin began in-person early voting Tuesday with more than 75,000 people showing up to the polls.

Absentee ballots cast by mail since September along with Tuesday's 75,519 early in-person voters reported by the Elections Commission account for over 1 million votes so far, which is 34% of the total votes cast in Wisconsin during the 2016 presidential election. 

Some of the major Wisconsin cities that had in-person voters included Milwaukee, Madison and Eau Claire. 

President Trump won Wisconsin in 2016 by less than 23,000 votes, making it a state on which he and Democratic challenger Joe Biden are each focused.

The candidates are calling on supporters to get out early and vote, something a record number of people across the country have already done. Early in-person voting in the state will continue up until Nov. 1.
