Typically,&nbsp;about 58,000 Milwaukeeans vote in August primaries, whether in person or by mail, she said.&nbsp;VOTING GUIDE:Those who want to vote in person will have a chance to do so starting Tuesday.In Milwaukee, early voting will be offered from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends at three locations: the Frank P.
