Milwaukee officials have announced a recount of approximately 30,000 absentee ballots after identifying a tabulation machine error. The situation stems from a sealing issue that was flagged by poll observers, prompting the city to restart counting out of an abundance of caution. Election day has been marked by significant delays as city workers are called in to assist with the recount process, and results are now expected to be very late. The decision to conduct the recount has led to accusations of malfeasance from some quarters, including the Trump team, which has been vocal about alleged disinformation regarding absentee ballots in various states. Local and state officials are working diligently to ensure the accuracy of the election results amidst these challenges.
