Officials pledge to complete Milwaukee County canvass by Friday deadline
Milwaukee County has again pushed back the expected completion of its canvass in the state Supreme Court race.
Election Commission Department Administrator Lisa Catlin Weiner said it was going slower than expected, but the canvass would be finished by tomorrow’s deadline.
According to the commission, there have been no significant changes in the vote totals.
“We have the blessing of the state,” Weiner said. “They want us to make sure we do it right and take our time so they’re not rushing us and we’re not beyond the deadline.”
Weiner said various disruptions have delayed the process, including having to explain the process to a number of parties and an unusually high level of media interest in the results.
