Wisconsin’s Republican U.S. Senator Ron Johnson and southern Wisconsin’s Republican congressman Bryan Steil are demanding answers about Milwaukee’s vote count from the November election. The city of Milwaukee recounted more than thirty thousand ballots after election managers discovered that voting machine doors weren’t properly closed. Johnson said the Milwaukee election was “grotesquely disorganized” and “unbelievably sloppy,” calling for full transparency and answers by today.
We echo the call for an Election Night timeline, a description of the security lapses that led to a recount, and the details about the ballots that had to be counted again. Wisconsinites deserve to know what happened in Milwaukee on November fifth and see a plan for the future that includes accountability, transparency, and that safeguards election integrity.
