The Internet reported that about 30,000 absentee ballots will be recount in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, after it was discovered that the door of the ballot counting machine was not completely closed. A city spokesman said that in order to ensure accuracy, it was decided to re-run the ballot after discussions with election officials and lawyers. All counting machines will be cleared and ballots will be re-entered into the machines, which may add several hours to counting time, but the processing of ballots and envelopes will not need to be re-processed. The problem was caused by human error and no tampering was found. Officials stressed that the recount was intended to ensure the accuracy of the election results.
