In neighboring Wisconsin, a delay in reporting absentee ballot results has sparked debate over election procedures. The issue occurred in Milwaukee, where a human error caused a delay in counting roughly 28,000 absentee ballots. The mistake happened when workers uploaded the wrong files, specifically audit logs instead of vote totals, from some of the flash drives used in absentee ballot processing.

Further details on the incident, including the response from Milwaukee election officials, are available from local news sources, such as WXYZ Channel 7.
