Milwaukee Election Delay Sparks Calls for Accountability | Milwaukee News

Milwaukee’s election results hit a snag when officials downloaded audit logs but missed the actual vote totals — a “human error” that delayed results but didn’t affect accuracy. Head of the Election Commission Paulina Gutiérrez admitted the mistake, stressing voter trust is paramount and pledging improvements like visual instructions and observer briefings. Wisconsin Rep. Dave Maxey, chair of the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections, called it a “travesty,” citing this as the third major glitch at Milwaukee’s central count site in recent years. He demands written answers and threatens hearings if transparency isn’t forthcoming, warning another incident won’t be treated as an accident. The commission is scrambling to rebuild public confidence before the next election. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
