You might know it! Discovered boxes of absentee ballots in the November presidential election were somehow missed and not counted Madison, Wisconsin, became the focus of an election integrity scandal. In a major move to address concerns about election integrity in the state, the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) unanimously decided to look into the oversight.

What! Election authorities in Madison found a volume of unprocessed absentee votes sealed on December 3. By December 18, it became evident many absentee ballots had gone missing. More than a week after the election, an additional 68 ballots were found in a green courier bag, and after that, 125 were discovered in certificate bags and more expected to be discovered!

Democrat Talking Head said: Ann Jacobs stated, "I felt this was so egregious that it was important that we move immediately." Given the seriousness of the situation, the commission chose to move quickly rather than wait for outside complaints, as is customary.

Madison has seen election-related turmoil before. The city was criticized in past years for problems like sending duplicate votes to more than thousands of voters, which were ascribed to just a ‘simple human error’ in data processing. Additionally, during the 2020 election, the city was heavily involved in the controversial "Democracy in the Park" ballot-gathering campaign, which sparked worries about vast ballot harvesting.

The ‘blunder’ silenced hundreds of voters. Republican commissioner Don Millis emphasized the need for a more comprehensive probe by questioning why the issue wasn't exposed until a county and local door-to-door canvasses.

Many are suspicious of its possible effects! Advocates for election integrity, however, are still wary. Annette Olson of the MacIver Institute highlighted the wider ramifications of such errors. "Every ballot matters because every voter matters," she said, calling for a thorough investigation into highly suspicious and extreme irregularities.

Looks like Milwaukee's election procedures are in shambles! Over 30,000 absentee ballots had to be reprocessed on Election Day after it was found that 13 vote counting machines in Milwaukee had been tampered with. A parallel probe of Milwaukee was demanded by Republican commissioner Bob Spindell, but the move was oddly denied.

Ron Heuer of the Wisconsin Voter Alliance is skeptical there will be any significant repercussions. Heuer said, "I hate to be cynical, but my guess is that…there will be no consequences for Witzel-Behl," echoing other people who are frustrated about what they see as a lack of enforcement in election watchdogging.

Final Word: As time ticks on, more and more evidence is coming to light of the massive vote cheating and total incompetence inside the Democrat Party. Strangely, when the missing, tampered, and questionable votes were finally counted, they all leaned toward the Republican candidate in that election! How odd!
