Having lived through the shenanigans of the 2020 election, Brian Schimming and Ron Johnson, Wisconsin’s senior senator, were n’t about to take any chances in Milwaukee.  ,
Schimming, president of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, got expression that there was a problem with tabulators at Milwaukee’s Central Count on Election Day. It was a major concern.  ,
The dolphins on 13 vote tabulation systems appeared to have been hacked, according to The Federalist’s report. The tabulators ‘ doors were n’t secured. Fortunately, Republican spectators noticed the issue and called GOP leaders.  ,
‘ Human Error ‘
Schimming and Johnson arrived at Milwaukee’s Baird Center ( a downtown convention hall and site of Central Count operations ) at around 7 p. m. on Tuesday and were confronted by a mob of reporters and cameras, Schimming told me in an interview. The leading Republicans took a trip of the huge, multi-gymnasium-style floor. The group’s election integrity staff joined them. Milwaukee Election superintendent Paula Gutiérrez guided them to the tabulators.  ,
Ron posed some sharp queries to her. He said,’ Oh, by the way, is the picture obtainable?'” Schimming said. Video surveillance of the equipment and the Central Count activities is required, and, yes, the picture must be made available for public examination. ” It got a small crisps. ]Gutiérrez ] did not appear to be happy there. I was n’t going to lose any sleep over that”.
Gutiérrez, who replaced controversial Milwaukee elections chief Claire Woodall-Vogg after she was fired in May, told the press that it was all a matter of “human error” . ,
” There were dolphins on the door, but because the lock was not properly closed, some of the seals got loose”, she said in a press conference.
The Milwaukee Election Commission later claimed in a speech that” some doorways appeared to be being closed off by senior vote leaders.”  ,
More than 30 000 absent ballots had to be rerun through the systems due to “human problem,” which further delayed a counting process renowned for lengthy vote counts.  ,
After the individual observation, Schimming told Fox News writer Mike Tobin,” This goes down under the law, you had one work”. And Milwaukee, when once, did that job badly.  ,
” This seems like a true disaster”, Johnson told reporters.  ,
According to Wisconsin Public Radio, Gutiérrez insisted that the vote not “were in a position to be touched or tampered with.”  ,
” I know for a point that these systems are very stable, there was no interfering, we were able to ensure that”, Gutiérrez said. ” But ( in an ) over abundance of caution, we are reprocessing”.
” Großly Incompetent”
Gutiérrez did not return a visit from The Federalist seeking comment.
Before it became clear Milwaukee could n’t find enough votes this time for Vice President Kamala Harris, it was n’t a good look for a Democrat-led city that was once more forced to count deeply into the night, as it had done in the rigged 2020 election. Former president Donald Trump won the swing state of Wisconsin by about 29 000 seats early on Wednesday night, according to reports that he lost the state by less than 21 000 votes four years prior. Trump became the only Republican to get two nonconsecutive term in U.S. history when he won the constitutionally mandated 270 electoral vote count and won the election.  ,
But the questions remain, and GOP leaders also are looking for solutions.  ,
Just 60 % of ballot workers showed up, according to Republican Party authorities, which caused Milwaukee Central Count to open after at least an hour on Election Day. City officials apparently had to bring in as many as 40 rescuers, health personnel, and IT staff to assist in the poll tell.  ,
Johnson left Central Count amazed and left. He said he does n’t believe anything nefarious went down, but what he witnessed was “grossly incompetent” election administration.  ,
” I’ve never seen anything so unorganized”, the senator told me in an appointment on Friday. They did n’t have a checklist in place to check the security and lockout of these machines. They started late and they were just completely disorganized” . ,
A Flair for Drama
Democratic spectators claimed that Milwaukee was moving things along slowly. After the polls closed, Milwaukee elections officials tried to re-enter more ballots, but the Trump campaign and GOP attorneys were all in favor of halting the suspect vote drop, according to officials. Inconveniently, Wisconsin Democrat Party Chairman Ben Wikler said a “red illusion” may result from a Trump lead earlier in the Badger State.  ,
” So, in Milwaukee,  , you ‘ll , see 100 percent of precincts reporting before you see the numbers that come out of those early votes in person and those absentee ballots, which, my guess is, are heavily weighted toward Harris supporters”, Wikler told MSNBC the day before the election. Therefore, the red mirage will indicate that Trump may perform better than he really is because the absentee ballots have not yet been counted and reported, and the blue shift will indicate when those ballots are presented to increase the totals. That might occur in the evening. It definitely was in 2020″.
When Milwaukee Central Count was experiencing all manner of odd points, that is how it turned out in 2020. Wisconsin’s most populous city, which had much Republican votes to support Joe Biden over Trump, did the election early in the morning.  ,
Woodall-Vogg, senior director of the Milwaukee Election Commission at the time, worked closely with communist companies through a questionable” Zuckbucks” deal.  ,
” Damn, Claire, you have a flair for drama, delivering just the margin needed at 3: 00 a. m .”, emails.pdf” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Ryan Chew of the Elections Group, wrote in a congratulatory email to Vogg. ” I bet you had those votes counted at evening, and only wanted to keep the world waiting”!
” That’s been the general pattern. Johnson said,” We build a strong result and we have to endure Milwaukee vote.” Why did Wikler mention that those vote would be announced at the early hours of the morning?
The Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign does decide whether to launch an investigation, according to the lawmaker. He suspects they wo n’t at this point.  ,
He said,” I think the level of stupidity may lead you to believe some of this is nefarious.” ” But the best way I can describe it is grossly incompetent” . ,
Milwaukee’s disaster once more causes people to lose confidence in elections, which the left and their organizational media allies continue to claim are the world’s safest.
” They are reducing confidence in results”, the senator said. No matter who wins, we all believe in the outcomes because” we want to restore trust.” Democrats do n’t. That’s why they’re opposed to every confidence-building proposal”.
