GET ME REWRITE: Wisconsin Republicans losing ground in suburban Ozaukee County


Taking on a more purple hue thanks to Trump.

Wikipedia (and below)
3rd party votes:  19.2% in 1992, 9.3% in 1996. 7.2% in  2016
(Alabama segregationist George Wallace received 7.3% of the vote in 1968)

Trump received 3,448 more votes than he did in 2016, a 11% increase.   Biden received 6,347 more votes than Clinton did in 2016, an increase of 31%.

Trump's share of the vote decreased by 0.6 percentage points.  Biden increased Clinton's share of the vote by 6.1 percentage points. 

One key focus area for both parties are the so-called WOW counties ringing Milwaukee — Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington — where the majority of people are Republicans but more and more people are turning toward the Democratic Party. With the exception of Washington County, the so-called “WOW counties” are consistently registering far higher percentages of voters favoring Democrats in elections since 2004, though each county still tabulates more Republican than Democratic votes in those elections.
