Milwaukee Forced To Recount 31,000 Votes, ‘Wildly Extending’ Result Times
Milwaukee has to recount around 31,000 absentee ballots after a “sealing error” may have led to an insecure counting process, city spokesman Jeff Fleming told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Tuesday night.
The doors on the city’s voting tabulation machines were not properly shut, Caroline Reinwald, a Milwaukee Election Commission spokeswoman, told the Sentinel.
The recount could extend the final count by one to three hours, Fleming said.
“We have no reason to believe that there was any compromise to any of the machines,” Fleming told the outlet, noting the recount was due to “an abundance of caution.”
“But because they were not fully sealed — human error — and not fully sealed, we are going to zero them all out again … and then rerun the balance that had already been processed,” Fleming concluded.
