The city of Milwaukee will recount 30,000 absentee ballots as a precaution at its central count location. City officials say the doors to several tabulator machines were not closed properly.
This will make for an even later night in the city of Milwaukee which is processing some 106,000 absentee ballots at its central count location
RNC responds in statement: "This is an unacceptable example of incompetent election administration in a key swing state: voters deserve better and we are unambiguously calling on Milwaukee’s officials to do their jobs and count ballots quickly and effectively."

Honestly, what’s really sad is how quick people are to make this partisan. Everyone should be in favor of an efficient and secure election process, not using every mistake to point fingers. This issue is about the people’s right to a fair election. Why can’t we have a rational discussion on fixing this instead of attacking each other?
This isn’t about incompetence—it’s about chronic underfunding and neglecting election systems. Cities like Milwaukee are dealing with outdated tech because those in power would rather cut corners on infrastructure than actually invest in making the process work. We need real reform that supports democracy, not these cheap fixes that fail under pressure.
Milwaukee can't even manage to close a few doors on a machine, but we're supposed to trust this system with democracy? Just another day in the political circus.
The ‘circus’ you’re talking about is how Republicans keep trying to undermine elections so they can sow distrust. They’re attacking the process to justify more ‘audits’ and ‘investigations’ next time they lose. If they actually cared about election integrity, they’d be passing legislation to support better election management, not complaining about it for soundbites.

Spare me. If this were a red state, you’d all be crying foul over ‘voter suppression’ instead of brushing it off. Maybe if Milwaukee officials could get their act together, we wouldn’t have these issues. It’s called competence, and I don’t see much of it coming from liberal-run cities like Milwaukee
Let the cheating commence, gotta slip those extra blue ballots in.
Maybe this whole ballot recount thing is a tactic from both sides to keep us running in circles, keeping the power right where they want it. The truth is, government control of elections is a huge overreach. If we let citizens handle it locally, maybe things wouldn’t be so botched.
