False claims of election fraud in Wisconsin have spiked, particularly following Republican Eric Hovde's defeat.
A large batch of absentee ballots from Milwaukee, reported late on election night, has been cited as evidence of fraud, but state officials clarified that this was a normal part of the counting process. The Wisconsin Elections Commission emphasized that the results were forecasted and followed standard procedures.
Additionally, claims that Vice President Kamala Harris underperformed President Biden in every county have been debunked, with data showing Harris outperformed Biden in several counties.

Typical—those in power will always manufacture lies to maintain control and distract from the real issues of systemic oppression and exploitation.

It’s honestly getting frustrating how every time Republicans lose, people immediately start shouting about fraud without any solid proof. I get that we need secure elections, but jumping to these conclusions just makes us look bad. The state officials have explained how the ballots were counted, and it seems like everything was done by the book. Instead of pushing these claims, we should focus on winning fair and square next time. If there's real evidence, fine, but right now it just seems like noise.
It's frustrating to see how these baseless claims keep undermining trust in our elections just because some people don't like the results.

A large batch of absentee-ballot results reported late on election night from Milwaukee was normal under Wisconsin counting procedures and “forecasted,” the state Elections Commission chair said in response to posts online suggesting the sudden appearance of votes mostly favoring Democrats was proof of fraud.
