All areas outside of cities are more conservative than liberal except Dane County, I live in Pleasant Prairie, which is in Kenosha County(the southeast tip of Wisconsin)Thirty Miles for Milwaukee. The city of Kenosha voted overwhelmingly for Tom Barret, But the rest or the county voted Big tome for Scott Walker, Barret only won Kenosha County by 705 votes,

Kenosha may still have a slight dem majority but it's a pretty city on the lake. They have the University Of Wi Parkside, Carthage College and Gateway a technical school. The lake front is very pretty and has museums and parks. Climate isn't too bad except when there is lake effect snow. Property taxes in Wi have been high but thanks to Gov Walker they are going to be kept under control. Chicago is 1 hr away Milwaukee 30 min. so you can enjoy the good things each have to offer like theater and restaurants and of course airports. Kenosha unlike Milwaukee is a pretty safe city and the public schools aren't bad. All and all a nice place to live.

Several relatives have places in Wisconsin.
A young relative lives on a farmlet west of Racine but has a Kenosha mailing address for some reason. I’d say this is just far enough from Milwaukee.
Grandpa had a cottage on a lake south of Burlington after WW II.
Seems like an OK area if you can take the winters. Me, I bailed to the southwest and south back in the Nixon administration.
