A large crowd marched on the streets of Milwaukee's south side Saturday to encourage others to vote early and to send a strong message to the Republican Presidential nominee.

Voces De La Frontera and Union Leaders of SEIU are organizing voters in battleground states, like Wisconsin, to vote for Hillary Clinton.  

"This election is incredibly important," said Leslie Fran of SEIU. "It's incredibly important that people vote that they vote early so that we can bring justice to this country and can make sure that things like sexual harassment will never be okay."

The emotionally-charged Presidential race has a lot of people eager to cast their ballot and many did on Saturday.

Election officials have seen an uptick in early voting.
