Hawaii, Utah, Missouri, Wisconsin kick off in-person early voting

Early in-person voting kicks off in Hawaii, Utah, Missouri and Wisconsin this week as candidates have begun urging their supporters to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day.

Here is everything you need to know.

Wisconsin is one of the most competitive states this cycle

Wisconsin is one of three Rust Belt states that voted for former President Trump in 2016, then flipped back to the Democrats in 2020. President Biden won the state by just 20,682 votes, or 0.7 points.

Like the other competitive Midwestern states, it is defined by its White working class population. Fifty-eight percent of the state’s voters are White without a college degree, according to the Fox News Voter Analysis. That is 15 points higher than the national electorate.

Those voters favored Trump by 11 points in the last presidential cycle, and he will look to build on that margin to put this state back into the GOP’s column.

For Democrats, the goal is to keep turnout high in the cities and surrounding areas by activating Black and suburban voters. There are highly populated pockets of deep-blue voters in Milwaukee and Madison, and the counties that those cities call home make up nearly a quarter of the statewide vote.

Voting begins today in several battleground House districts. For a full list of competitive races, see the latest Senate and House rankings.

• Wisconsin’s 1st District: Republican Rep. Bryan Steil has held this southeastern district, which includes Kenosha, since 2019. This time, he’s up against local Democrat Peter Barca. This race is "Likely R" in the Power Rankings.
• Wisconsin’s 3rd District: Rep. Derrick Van Orden was one of a handful of Republicans to flip a seat in the midterms. His district includes a handful of blue-leaning areas like Eau Claire and La Crosse. This time, he faces Democratic small business owner Rebecca Cooke. It’s also "Likely R" in the Power Rankings.
• Washington's 3rd District: This southwest Washington district offers a rematch between first-term Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a Blue Dog Democrat who recently suggested that Biden resign from office, and Republican challenger Joe Kent. It is a "Toss Up" in the Power Rankings.
