Milwaukee Election Glitch Sparks Outcry | Milwaukee News

A major election glitch in Milwaukee delayed results by hours after five out of nine flash drives accidentally downloaded audit logs instead of vote counts. State Rep. Dave Maxey called it a “travesty,” demanding accountability from Election Commission exec Paulina Gutiérrez, who’s urged to step down if fixes aren’t made. The commission blamed “human error” and pledged reforms ahead of November’s vote, insisting results were accurate. But Maxey insists this isn’t an isolated incident — it’s the third time central count has failed — and warns that repeated incompetence will erode public trust unless transparency and consistency are restored.
