Milwaukee’s Election Commission Has Had a Problem in Every Election for Three Years — and the FBI May Be Coming

 On Tuesday night, Milwaukee election staff loaded the wrong information onto USB drives — delivering audit logs instead of vote totals to reporting systems, causing more than an hour delay while the rest of Wisconsin waited. The Milwaukee Election Commission called it an error. The video camera in the room told a different story.

Reporter A.J. Bayatpour obtained footage showing the moment staff made the alleged mistake. At the top of the screen, in plain text, it says “Export Audit Log.” Staff members clicked through a confirmation prompt — which asked if they wanted to export audit data — and said yes. Five times. Then handed out USB drives containing audit logs instead of vote totals and apparently didn’t notice until it was too late
