Milwaukee Election Officials Blame “Human Error” After 5 of 9 USB Drives Arrive WITHOUT Election Results
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 12, 2026 | Jim Hᴏft

Milwaukee is at it again.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, as Wisconsin primary results were still coming in, Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Paulina Gutierrez admitted that five of the nine USB flash drives delivered from the city’s central count facility to the county contained audit logs instead of the actual election results.

“It’s a human error,” Gutierrez said. When asked by WISN 12 if it was as simple as somebody pressing the wrong button, she replied, “Correct.”

Officials were forced to return to the operations center at central count to re-download the correct results from five machines. Those results then had to be transported back to the Milwaukee County Courthouse for re-uploading. Gutierrez said nearly 15,000 ballots were still outstanding at the time of the admission.

Read that again: on five of the nine USB drives used in a critical election-night transfer, officials copied the wrong files.

This is not the first election-night controversy involving Milwaukee, flash drives, and delayed results.

Gateway Pundit readers will remember the 2020 presidential election, when then-Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Claire Woodall-Vogg “lost” one of the flash drives containing critical absentee ballot results in the middle of the night, right as Milwaukee dumped a massive wave of ballots that helped deliver Wisconsin to Joe Biden.

If we made conspiracy to commit voter fraud a capital crime and prosecuted it accordingly, we’d have a lot less conspiracy to commit voter fraud.

The DSAs need to riot in Madison over this obviously stolen primary election.

The DemocRAT party is a “human error”.
No, wait, I used the term “human” there.

Like when LBJs folks added hundreds of votes to ballot box 13 in Jim Wells county to provide the margin of victory in his first Senate win?

When the former sheriff was willing to talk, he suffered from an involuntary assisted suicide.

Agreed. Vote fraud in any form is a direct attack on the entire body politic.

Not surprising. Takes longer to check out at a store using a card than when using cash. There are more definitions of “easy to use” than there are genders.

I wonder what kind of award Woodall-Vogg (sounds leftie to me) got for that “”human error””.

Voter fraud is when one person votes in two different places or for someone who is not eligible. What the Democrats do is election fraud. It covers many aspects of elections.

And of course Milwaukee County is Crowley’s home base.

Most companies will NOT allow USB drives to be used as they are totally unsecure and vulnerable to viruses and hacking.
Any IT department will tell you the same thing.

Milwaukee Election Officials Blame “Human Error”

HAL: Well, I don 't think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error.

Great news! This is just the kind of news the drooling half wits need to convince them that the election was rigged and they should not vote in the general, Anyone who thinks Crowley or other rodents can win without the rabid Anti American vote is simply engaging in wishful thinking.
