Wisconsin elections officials are declaring success after Tuesday's election, which they say ran smoothly with few mishaps.
Wisconsin has a well-earned tradition of well-run and transparent elections. Yesterday was no exception,"" said Kevin Kennedy, director of the Government Accountability Board.
According to a statement from the GAB, a few problems occurred, including broken voting machines, registered voters not appearing on poll lists and a bomb threat at a Middleton polling place, but these mishaps were dealt with quickly.
During a news conference, Kennedy discussed possible improvements for future elections, such as establishing an early voting system instead of having early voters vote absentee, and the need for better communication among election workers on Election Day.
""As society and technology evolves, we must continue to refine our election process to ensure openness, efficiency and integrity to the highest degree,"" Elections Division Administrator Nat Robinson said in a statement.
