BREAKING: A “HUMAN ERROR” IN MILWAUKEE AFTER MIDNIGHT CAUSED…
Election night chaos returned to Milwaukee this week after officials admitted that five of the nine USB drives used to transfer critical absentee ballot results were missing the actual vote data, delaying final results in Wisconsin’s Democratic primary for governor and once again raising uncomfortable questions about the reliability of election administration in America’s most scrutinized swing state.

The blunder unfolded shortly before midnight as Milwaukee election workers attempted to deliver absentee ballot totals from the city’s central counting facility to the Milwaukee County Election Commission. Instead of vote results, five of the nine flash drives contained nothing but audit logs, essentially useless data that provided no insight into how the ballots had actually been cast.
Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Paulina Gutierrez was left to explain the mess to a room full of reporters and a national television audience already on edge watching the tight Democratic primary for governor between Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and progressive state Representative Francesca Hong.

“As part of the download process, there are two things: there’s the audit log and the results,” Gutierrez told reporters. “What we uncovered was that five of the sticks had the audit log downloaded and not the results. It’s a human error. These things can happen.”
Gutierrez went on to explain that officials would need to return to the operations center and redo the download process for the five affected tabulators, comparing the newly extracted results against previously printed reports to verify accuracy before the numbers could be trusted and released to the public.
The explanation, while technically plausible, did little to reassure an already skeptical public. Wisconsin election observer Alexander Shur reported that officials managed to extract results from some of the tabulators in as little as three minutes, a timeframe that election experts say should not be possible given the normal complexity of the download process. That detail alone has fueled further questions about exactly what went wrong and whether the explanation offered by officials tells the full story.
The delay proved consequential well beyond mere inconvenience. NBC News cut away from its live election night coverage as anchor Steve Kornacki, visibly caught off guard, was forced to end the network’s tracking of the race because Milwaukee’s numbers simply were not available. Reporters described Kornacki as speechless when informed that a major American city could not produce accurate results at the most basic level of data transfer.
Making matters worse for Democrats, the missing data emerged from precincts on Milwaukee’s Riverwest and East Side, areas that were not directly impacted by the USB issue but which had heavily favored Hong, the more progressive candidate in the race. Hong had led Crowley by more than 20 points in pre election polling, yet by the time full results were finally tabulated, Crowley had narrowly pulled ahead and won the primary.
That sudden and dramatic overnight shift, combined with the unexplained data disappearance, immediately sparked speculation online about whether the glitch was truly an innocent mistake or something more deliberate. While no evidence has emerged to substantiate claims of intentional manipulation, the optics could hardly be worse for an election commission already carrying significant baggage from past controversies.
This is far from the first time Milwaukee’s handling of USB drives and election night procedures has drawn scrutiny. During the 2020 presidential election, then Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Claire Woodall-Vogg misplaced a flash drive containing critical absentee ballot results in the middle of the night, precisely as the city was reporting a massive wave of ballots that ultimately helped deliver Wisconsin to Joe Biden. Officials at the time insisted the drive had never actually been lost, but the episode left a lasting mark on public trust in the city’s election operations.
More recently, in 2024, Milwaukee election workers left tabulator doors unlocked and unsealed for hours while processing tens of thousands of absentee ballots. City officials again chalked the failure up to human error and, out of what they described as an abundance of caution, zeroed out the affected machines and reran more than 30,000 ballots from scratch, pushing final results deep into the early morning hours.
Different election, different personnel, different specific procedural failure. Yet the pattern remains strikingly consistent. Same city, same late-night uncertainty, and the same reassurances from officials that nothing was seriously wrong.
A local alderman, attempting to calm public concern, insisted that the Milwaukee Election Commission has been and will continue to be transparent about its processes. He added that the incident should serve as a reminder for the state legislature to revisit rules around when absentee ballots can begin being processed, an implicit acknowledgment that current procedures leave far too much room for error on election night itself.
Speaker Johnson Issues Chilling Warning: ‘Trail To Certain Death’
The Democratic Party has been moving sharply left for nearly 20 years, accelerating under President Barack Obama and intensifying during Joe Biden’s term.
But now, the party’s voters are electing members who are embracing a form of government completely at odds with our founding, and Republicans are sounding the alarm.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., delivered a forceful warning on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, arguing that the United States is confronting what he described as a growing Marxist movement that threatens the nation’s values and institutions.
“The barbarians are in the gate,” Johnson declared during a tense press conference.“There’s a small number of times in the history of America where the actual experiment in self-governance was on the ballot,” he said.
“The idea that we would preserve a constitutional republic: One nation under God, a government of, by, and for the people. All that is in question right now,” Johnson continued.“For the first time, really in my lifetime, this is a real question the American people have to decide in November, in a midterm election for Congress and Senate,” he said.
“It’s not something that we would have projected. I hoped and prayed it would never come to this, but here we are. The barbarians are in the gate,” Johnson went on.
The Louisiana Republican and constitutional attorney argued that the upcoming November midterm elections represent far more than a typical political fight over taxes or government regulation.
Instead, Johnson said the country is engaged in what he called a “philosophical war” over America’s future and its founding principles.
Invoking former President Ronald Reagan, Johnson recalled Reagan’s warning that freedom is only “one generation away from extinction.”
While Reagan confronted the Soviet Union during the Cold War, Johnson argued that socialist ideology has now taken root within the United States.
Pointing to the “In God We Trust” motto displayed in the House chamber—installed in 1962 during the Cold War—Johnson criticized the Democratic Socialists of America, accusing the organization of seeking to undermine the nation’s foundational values.
According to the DSA’s own platform, the party seeks to:
Pack the Supreme Court and abolish the Senate to create a Marxist-run legislature.
Abolishing all borders and granting mass amnesty to everyone, including dangerous criminals and terrorists.
Emptying the prisons and completely defunding the police.
“This is not a game,” he warned. “Everybody needs to understand: These crazy little mini-Mamdanis, who are popping up all around the country, they are a danger to you and your family.
“This is not a game.”
“We are here as the Republican Party to stand on the founding principles of the greatest nation in the history of the world. It is our duty to do that,” the GOP leader continued.
“And we’re doing it on behalf of all of you, even the journalists who don’t agree with our policies all the time. You’d better agree on these principles because that’s what keeps you free,” he said.
“This is essential for your well-being, and your family. This is not a game,” Johnson said.
“This is not our father’s Democrat Party. We’re not arguing over marginal tax rates anymore,” he noted.
“We’re arguing over whether or not freedom is going to survive. And that’s why we’re so serious about this.”
He described himself as a “happy warrior,” but he added that the time for pleasantries is past.
“Our rights come from our creator, God. They do not come from the government,” he said.
“The communists believe the opposite. They believe that the government, the state, is God. The state is the one that gives you all your rights. And you know what? The state can also take those rights away,” Johnson correctly pointed out.
Hakeem Jeffries Just Told You Exactly What Democrats Will Do to the Supreme Court — Believe Him
The Democrat Party of the 1970s and 1980s is gone. Dead and buried. It’s been taken over by ‘Democrats’ who want to govern our country in a manner that our founders found anathema to enduring freedom and prosperity.
For 157 years, nine justices have sat on the Supreme Court of the United States. The number isn’t in the Constitution, but it has endured through every political wave, every partisan fight, and even FDR’s catastrophic attempt to pack it in 1937 — an overreach so obvious that his own party killed it in Congress. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just announced he’d like to finish what Roosevelt started.
Speaking at the National Black Journalism Conference in Atlanta Wednesday, the House Minority Leader made clear that if Democrats win Congress in November, the Supreme Court as Americans know it will not survive intact. “Dramatic Supreme Court reform is necessary,” he said. “There’s a variety of different options on the table and we can’t foreclose any of them.”
He wants to hand the project to Jamie Raskin — one of the most radical left-wing lunatics in Congress who served as lead impeachment manager in the Democrats’ second failed attempt to impeach and remove President Trump, who sat on the notoriously compromised J6 Committee alongside TDS-afflicted RINOs Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, and who is about as far from a neutral arbiter of constitutional questions as any member of Congress currently serving.

Let’s name what Jeffries is actually proposing. The Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority that has been handing down decisions actually based on what the Constitution says, but which Democrats despise — on abortion, on gun rights, on election integrity, on agency power. Democrats cannot win those arguments on the merits (because they are either meritless or simply unconstitutional). So their solution is to change the game: add four or five left-wing justices, confirm them on a party-line vote, and transform the Court from a constitutional check on legislative and executive overreach into a rubber stamp for whatever Democrats want to do.
This is not judicial reform. It is judicial capture. The moment you can add justices whenever you lose too many cases, the Court’s independence — the only thing that makes its rulings legitimate — ceases to exist. What you have instead is a super-legislature with lifetime appointments and no elections, stocked by whichever party happened to control the Senate when the seats were created.
Roosevelt understood this was wrong in 1937 and dropped it when his own party revolted. The Democratic Party of 2026 has no such compunction. They put it in a progressive caucus resolution. Jeffries confirmed it on camera. The DSA co-chair put abolishing the Court entirely in their platform.
This is what a Democratic House majority in November actually means. Not investigations and impeachment theater — though that too. This. The systematic dismantling of every institutional check that has stood between the left’s agenda and its implementation, starting with the Court that has been blocking it.
Every election is called the most crucial ever. In this case, it actually is. The future of the integrity of the Supreme Court is on the ballot in November. Hakeem Jeffries just confirmed it publicly.
