Wisconsin Election Problems Pile Up as Ex-Madison Clerk Investigated over November Election

Election problems are piling up in Wisconsin cities as the actions of Maribeth Witzel-Behl, a former Madison clerk, are being investigated after her handling of the November election.

The two most populous cities in Wisconsin are under scrutiny over problems that occurred in the last two elections. Both the state capital of Madison and Wisconsin’s largest city, Milwaukee, have experienced election issues ranging from uncounted absentee ballots to a shortage of ballots on Election Day, as officials seek to investigate the respective causes.

Witzel-Behl resigned from her position, which the mayor announced last week, after she failed to count 193 absentee ballots in the November election and didn’t inform the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) until Dec. 18. The results of the election were certified on Nov. 29. The 193 ballots were found in two batches, the first on Nov. 12 and the second on Dec. 3.

The mayor said the missing 193 ballots would not have swayed any election or ballot questions, either in Madison or statewide. more

    My point is this. Probably the three most corrupt electoral systems in the United States are Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona. Ignoring California obviously. They don’t even cheat well. But nothing ever happens.
