Last night in the Wisconsin Democrat primary, David Crowley defeated Francesca Hong by a little more than 3,200 votes. This was after late-night drama unfolded in Milwaukee County just before midnight, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
According to a post from Urban Milwaukee co-founder, Jeramey Jannene on X:
“5 of 9 USB drives had audit logs, not actual results, copied to them. Bipartisan commission will go back to election warehouse, redownload, drive back again. 15k ballots believe to be impacted. One hour delay. “Human error” says Paulina Guiterrez.
Wisconsin’s WISN 12 covered the press conference and the remarks from Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director, Paulina Guiterrez.
“As part of the download process, there are two things: there’s the audit log and the results. What we uncovered was that five of the sticks had the audit log downloaded and not the results. It’s a human error. These things can happen.
So basically what we need to do is go back to the operations center and we’re going to download, out of those five machines, the results and make sure that its not the audit log.
We have the reports printed from the first download. We’re going to reprint and start the process so that we can compare those results. We invite you to come join us. Milwaukee Police Department will come with us too.
We’ll re-download those results and then send them back here to be uploaded.
When asked if it was five machines that were an issue, Guiterrez clarified that it was the “sticks” that had the audit logs downloaded, not the results, on 5 out of 9 “sticks.”
