Milwaukee election officials are recounting roughly 30,000 absentee ballots after issues were discovered with tabulator seals.
City spokesman Jeff Flemming told reporters the redo will likely cause delays in reporting those results in the key swing state.
“It’s just out of an abundance of caution,” Flemming said. “We have no reason to believe that there was any compromise to any of the machines. But because they were not fully sealed, human error, and not fully sealed, we are going to zero them all out again, the 13 machines around, and then re-run the ballots that had already been processed.”
Imagine that...
