Election officials in Milwaukee found an uncounted batch of 386 ballots during the ongoing election audit in Wisconsin.
According to reports, the unopened ballots were found in the city’s South side ward. Friday marked the first day of Milwaukee’s recount and reports detailed questionable behavior by election officials.

“I always thought it was chocolate ice cream, personally,” Milwaukee County Clerk George Christenson said of the emojis on the bracelets. “Wisconsin Center is our vendor who handles all of the logistics…they are probably just pulling what they have in stock because this is the first opportunity they’ve had to be open in quite some time through this pandemic.”
Christenson reiterated that the bracelets were a non-issue.
The recount has already drawn criticism as it remains unclear if officials would clearly identify invalid ballots that were originally counted towards the final tally.
