ID 448: 2004-01-27 special (Assembly District 17)
664: 2003-11-18 recall general (State Senate District 6)
674: 2003-10-21 recall primary (State Senate District 6)
689: 2003-06-24 special primary (Assembly Districts 21, 71)

These are listed in the elections index API. Currently Wisconsin Elections Commission doesn't have results online for these. The Wisconsin Blue Book doesn't have as detailed results as the City of Milwaukee:

http://city.milwaukee.gov/January2720041720.htm
http://city.milwaukee.gov/November1820031723.htm
http://city.milwaukee.gov/October2120031722.htm
http://city.milwaukee.gov/June2420031726.htm

I think all of these elections (for statewide offices) occurred within the city limits. But the city's results don't get any more granular than candidate totals (county-wide, given that they're also within Milwaukee County).

Milwaukee County's election results online don't go as far back as these races. (There is an offer on their site to provide "more detailed results", for a price of $0.50 per "page".)

We can check with WEC on why these aren't listed on the state-level site.

City of Milwaukee responded to inquiries with PDF versions of these three:

  • 448: 2004-01-27 special (Assembly District 17)
  • 664: 2003-11-18 recall general (State Senate District 6)
  • 674: 2003-10-21 recall primary (State Senate District 6)

Attached file here: WardResults.pdf

The PDF includes ward-level results (a step up from the HTML versions linked above), but they were scanned from paper copies.

For 2003-06-24, the districts include areas in Milwaukee County (some in, some out of City of Milwaukee), Portage County, and Waushara County.
