The2020 Milwaukee mayoral election was held on Tuesday, April 7, 2020,[1] concurrent withWisconsin's Spring general election and presidential preference primary. Incumbent mayorTom Barrett won his fifth four-year term asmayor ofMilwaukee, receiving 62% of the vote against state senatorLena Taylor.

Municipal elections inWisconsin are non-partisan, but both general election candidates in this case were members of theDemocratic Party of Wisconsin. A non-partisan primary was held on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, in which the top two vote-getters advanced to the April general election.[1]

This election was also significantly affected by theCOVID-19 pandemic in Wisconsin.[2]

General election

[edit]

A general election was held April 7 betweenTom Barrett andLena Taylor.[31]

Taylor was the first African American woman to advance to a general election for mayor of Milwaukee,[32] and only the second woman (after Donna Horowitz Richards, who advanced to the1984 general election).[33]

Barret's campaign was largely focused on his track record.[34] Taylor challenged his track record, arguing that people of color had not sufficiently benefited from during tenure.[35]

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

On March 23, citing concerns of theCOVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Mayor Barrett sent a letter to GovernorTony Evers, State Senate Majority LeaderScott L. Fitzgerald and Speaker of the State HouseRobin Vos, requesting that the April 7 elections (including the mayoral election, as well as Wisconsin's presidential primaries and others races) be conducted using mail-in ballots only.[36]

City officials urged voters not to vote in person and to instead vote by mail with absentee ballots.[37] On March 31, Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Neil Albrecht announced that rather than the usual 180 voting sites, the election will instead have only between ten and twelve in-person voting sites.[37][38] This was due to a severe lack of poll workers.[39] By April 3, the number of in-person polling places was further reduced to only five.[40] Ultimately, 96,712 absentee ballots were requested, and 77,729 were returned (it is not yet reported how many are valid).[41]

On April 1, JudgeWilliam M. Conley ruled that, due to the circumstances of the elections,absentee ballots would be allowed to be returned until April 13, despite the elections taking place on April 7.[42] Days after, theRepublican National Committee urged theSupreme Court of the United States to block this ruling.[43] He also removed the requirement for ballots to have witness signatures, citing difficulties with regards to individuals living alone during thestay-at-home order being unable to find a witness.[44] The Supreme Court of the United States, on April 6, overturned Conley's ruling, meaning that all absentee ballots must be turned in by the election day, and ballots without witness signatures would be invalidated.[44][45] However, the Supreme Court of the United States did not overturn Conley's ruling that results would not be reported until April 13.[46]

Governor Evers, in early April, urged the state legislature to postpone the April 7 elections in Wisconsin. However, the legislature did not take the action to do this.[43] Despite admitting that he would violate the law by doing so,[47] on April 6, Evers issued anexecutive order which, if enforced, would have postponed the April 7 elections until the tentative date of June 7.[48] Republican leaders immediately announced that they would challenge the order in theWisconsin Supreme Court.[48] The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Evers did not have the authority to postpone the elections, thus meaning that Evers' executive order was nullified, and that the elections would be held as scheduled on April 7.[49]

On April 4, Lena Taylor filed a lawsuit attempting to get the mayoral election moved to September 8.[50]

By the time the Election Day voting concluded, Milwaukee Election Commissioner Neil Albrecht stated that despite some of the problems, the in-person voting ran smoothly.[51]
