Milwaukee’s Latest Election Mess Is All Just A Little Bit Of History Repeating

Milwaukee has a way of coming up with just enough votes the Democrat machine needs to win swing state Wisconsin. Call it a ‘lair for drama.’

Those of a certain age (old like me) will remember Dana Carvey’s recurring character, the sanctimonious Church Lady, on Saturday Night Live in the 1980s — when SNL was funny. After a celebrity guest would finish up some story of moral depravity, the Church Lady would raise her left brow and patronizingly declare, “Well, isn’t that special?”

We need an election integrity Church Lady in the office of the Milwaukee Election Commission.

Although, there was nothing particularly special about Tuesday’s late-night absentee ballot debacle in a blue city that has routinely been the center of state — and national — election scandal for years. 

‘The Moment Milwaukee Elections Staff Screwed Up’

Like a fox investigating a henhouse homicide, the Milwaukee Election Commission has launched a review into the “human error” that led to a long delay in counting some 28,000 absentee ballots cast in last week’s Democratic Party gubernatorial primary. 

“Since 2024, we’ve conducted after-action reviews every election, and our review for this partisan primary is underway. It’s an entire department-wide effort,” said Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Paulina Gutierrez during a special meeting Friday evening, according to TMJ4.

The reported glitch delayed Milwaukee’s results into the wee hours of Wednesday morning, which delayed the call of the primary contest winner until the wee hours of Wednesday morning. While Milwaukee and state election regulators once again insist there’s nothing to see here, their swift assurances do little to convince skeptics who have seen this movie before. Again and Again. 

And a doth-protest-too-much Democratic Party, known for rigging its primaries, isn’t going to do much to quell suspicions that “establishment” Democrats went all-in again on making sure that their preferred candidate — the one who didn’t say Thanksgiving should be cancelled — comes out on top. 

Ultimately,  Madison socialist Francesca Hong lost by less than 4,000 votes to slightly less far-left Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, whose political goose seemed cooked just a few weeks before the primary election. 

That’s right. The winner by a nose was the government leader of Milwaukee County. 

We know some things. 

Milwaukee CBS58 caught on camera “the moment Milwaukee elections staff screwed up,” reporter AJ Bayatpour wrote on X last week. 

“For comparison, here’s what the screens looked like when someone hit ‘export files’ instead of ‘export audit log,’” he noted. “Still waiting for a response from the city election commission, but we asked @WI_Elections tech staff, and they confirm that appears to be........
