Sources: Ozaukee is one of the "WOW collar" counties, three reliably red counties in the Milwaukee metro area.
Ozaukee County, as it turns out, is something of an outlier. In 2016, for example, Donald Trump received 5,713 fewer votes than Mitt Romney did in 2010. And 2018, Scott Walker, unsuccessfully running for a third term as Governor, beat Trump's tally by 1,944 votes.
What's most telling in Ozaukee County's journey from red to purple is the gap in the number of votes cast by Republicans and Democrats. It has plummeted from 19,573 in 2014, when Walker was elected to a 2nd term, to 5,723 in 2022, when Tony Evers won a second term. That's drop of 70% in 8 years.
In 2022, Evers cut the GOP margin by 58%.
You can blame it on the 45th president. Ozaukee County is not a part of Trump's America.
