Wisconsin Elections Commission to Revise Letter to Milwaukee After Primary Night Reporting Error
Milwaukee officials say the error did not affect vote accuracy, and the city plans to release audit logs and precinct reports by Friday.
- On Monday, the Wisconsin Elections Commission discussed Milwaukee's primary reporting delay after Milwaukee Elections Commission Director Paulina Gutierrez acknowledged her team "mistakenly downloaded those files, rather than the results" on election night.
- Election staff mistakenly downloaded audit logs instead of result files from five tabulators on August 11, causing an hour-long reporting delay that officials confirmed did not compromise election security or accuracy.
- Commissioners Mark Thomsen and Robert Spindell debated the appropriate response, with Thomsen cautioning against "unfairly attack people who have a very tough job" while Spindell cited recurring administrative problems in recent election cycles.
- The commission directed staff to draft a letter acknowledging the city's response while awaiting additional records, with Milwaukee committed to releasing audit logs and precinct reports by Friday, September 4.
- Ahead of the November election, Milwaukee election officials plan to implement new verification procedures and staff training, with the WEC preparing to review the promised documents to determine if further action is necessary.
