todayFebruary 13, 2023

The Fond du Lac County Clerk says she was happy to see that an audit found no signs of hacking or machine errors in an audit of the November midterm in Wisconsin.  Auditors inspected more than 222,000 ballots by hand, the largest audit in state history and found only a handful of mistakes attributed to human error.  “All the discrepancies were explained,”  Fond du Lac County Clerk Lisa Freiberg told WFDL news.  Five of the errors resulted from creases in ballots.  Freiberg says in the case of an overvote election officials are trained to take the ballot out and see what the machine is telling them.
