In Milwaukee's recent primaries, the election results were delayed due to "human error." Election Commissioner Paulina Gutierrez reported that five out of nine USB drives provided contained incorrect data, showing audit logs instead of ballot results. She emphasized that there were no technical issues with the voting machines.
Officials had to retrieve the correct results and reprint them for accurate comparison, causing an hour's delay in counting. Mayor Cavalier Johnson’s chief of staff highlighted the importance of election accuracy and the need for legislative review of absentee vote processing. The mishap is described as unprecedented in Milwaukee County, though it raises concerns about electoral processes. Ultimately, David Crowley won the Democratic primary against Francesca Hong.
Election integrity remains a priority, with officials striving for transparency in their operations.
