PRESS RELEASE: MKE Fire Chief Lipski: “Election Workers Taking Time To Get It Right”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 5, 2024
**Milwaukee, WI –**Tonight, election workers and administrators uncovered an error in tabulation and immediately set forward to rectify the situation, under the watchful eye of Republican and Democrat election observers. In response to implications being made about potential impropriety taking place, RightCount Leadership Advisory Council Member and Milwaukee Fire Chief Aaron Lipski released the following statement:
“Transparency and integrity will be key in navigating any error – the system worked, vigilant election observers noted the issue and our election administrators were immediately responsive and made the right call to re-start. It’s important that we get this count right, and I have full faith that poll workers and election administrators in our city are doing just that with the remedy they have already begun implementing. Voters should be reassured that our election workers are taking the time to get it right, rather than rush through the process sloppily.”
