NBC Announces Five of the USB sticks were Missing Election Vote Results
Chief Data Analyst Steve Kornacki: Okay. Okay, yeah, let’s… Can we ask our decision desk what we think that was that just… and do we think there’s central count left?
I guess the exact thing, yes, is if five of the USB sticks were missing results from the election, so then they have to go try to re-grab them. Yeah, and they’re… All the folks behind the scenes are talking about this as well, so we can also.
Chief Data Analyst Steve Kornacki: Look, it’s unfortunate. The folks by the scenes here, you’re saying? Yes.
Milwaukee’s 2026 Wisconsin primary election results were delayed by approximately 90 minutes due to what officials labeled “human error” with USB sticks“. The incident occurred when election workers accidentally downloaded audit logs instead of actual vote totals onto five of nine USB sticks used to transfer data from the central count facility to the Milwaukee County Courthouse.
Impact and Resolution: The USB sticks mistake stalled the reporting of roughly 28,000 absentee ballot results, delaying the declaration of the Democratic gubernatorial primary winner between David Crowley and Francesca Hong until after 1 a.m. Officials, including Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Paulina Gutiérrez, confirmed that a worker simply pressed the wrong button during the export process on the USB sticks. Staffers had to return to the central count location under police escort to re-download the correct files, though officials stated the error did not affect the integrity of the ballots or the final outcome.
