Summary
With Wisconsin’s November 3 general election just two months away, election integrity is back in the spotlight after voting and ballot-processing mistakes in Milwaukee, Green Bay and Madison. Adam Roberts and Neil Doyle examine what happened during Milwaukee’s August primary, when problems involving flash drives delayed election results by about an hour. While officials say there is no evidence votes were counted incorrectly, the incident has drawn scrutiny from the Wisconsin Elections Commission and renewed questions about how election officials prevent mistakes from undermining public trust. Adam and Neil also discuss duplicate absentee ballots mistakenly mailed to some Green Bay voters during two elections, the previous discovery of nearly 200 uncounted absentee ballots in Madison and the steps election officials say they're taking before November.
