Andrea Albers of TMJ4 reports election clerk Jaimie Krueger’s explanation of how ballots are counted in Wisconsin municipalities.

In Whitefish Bay the village clerk, Jaimie Krueger, says early voter or absentee ballots are stored securely until they can be counted on election night. “I trust the process that we have in place, I trust the results getting to where they need to go, and that they’re accurate,” she added.

When polls close on November 5, Krueger and other Whitefish Bay election workers, will use four voting machines, stationed at each of the village’s polling sites, to report unofficial results, electronically, to Milwaukee County.

“A results tape is printed which shows you — this many votes for this person, this many votes for this person,” explained Krueger. “And then from there, they would modem the results over to the county.”
