Milwaukee election officials started over counting absentee ballots after an observer saw panel doors on tabulators weren’t properly shut.

Milwaukee's central count location will rerun about 31,000 ballots after a "sealing" error with the tabulation machines was discovered.

While human error, not machine error, was the cause of this issue, the Milwaukee Election Commission confirmed the state would recount absentee ballots that had been run at its Central Count center. The move was being made, WTMJ reported, in an "overabundance of caution."
