Wisconsin’s Election Chaos Deepens | Milwaukee News

Wisconsin’s election system is in crisis mode—years of chaos from ballot shortages, counting delays, and human error are stacking up. From 2011’s uncounted ballots flipping close races to recent disasters like USB failures in August primaries and duplicate ballots sent out twice in Green Bay, the state’s electoral machinery is fraying. In April, polling sites ran out of ballots entirely; in 2024, Madison’s clerk resigned after 200 absentee ballots went uncounted—and took a vacation while it happened. Milwaukee had to recount 30,000 ballots overnight because machines weren’t properly sealed. Voters are waiting hours, results are delayed, and trust is eroding—one glitch at a time.
