"The president has come to areas throughout Wisconsin, and theyve understood that you cant just leave a pocked of the state untouched and hope that they turn out and then think theyre going to carry the state," he said.

Still, Republican candidates and volunteers are out knocking on doors in most of the state, though Jefferson noted it was more of a challenge in urban areas "and we've tried to be respectful of that, too."

In-person events are fewer than in past cycles, Jefferson said, and include both indoor and outdoor gatherings hosted at the county level, with leaders making masks available for those who want them.He added the party is also working to implement an "aggressive social media plan" that was already in the works ahead of the COVID-19 crisis.

"People observe social distancing. They don't want to be in there for hours at a time if they're getting together," he said. "It's different, there's no question about that."

Democrats, though, reiterated their commitment to reaching people virtually, rather than engaging in traditional door-to-door and in-person outreach efforts.

Biden's Wisconsin state director Danielle Melfi said residents "want to have their health and safety be respected."

Though unique from others, this cycle, Melfi said, is similar in the sense that the priority remains the same: "always meeting voters where they are."
