CNN tallies voter complaint calls
CNN's voter hotline had tallied 277 complaint calls from Wisconsin by mid-afternoon with the biggest problem reported having to do with absentee ballots.
The hotline had tallied 32,877 complaint calls just after 3:30 p.m. CDT. Wisconsin was among those states with a low rate of problems. Those with high rates included Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
More than a third of the complaint calls in Wisconsin originated in Milwaukee County with Dane County next at 11 percent and Racine County third at 6 percent.
After absentee ballot problems, the most frequently cited problems were poll access and "integrity," which includes voters claiming to have witnesses some kind of fraud or questions about whether their votes would count.
