In Wisconsin:  

Update: Immediately after polls close at 8PM on November 5th, election inspectors start tabulating the returns from ALL votes - including early votes. 

  • After the votes are counted, the election inspectors report these unofficial results to local clerks. The local clerks must report results to county clerks no more than two hours after votes are counted.

  • Then, no more than two hours after they receive the returns from municipal clerks, county clerks must post all unofficial election results on their county website. In counties like Milwaukee, which use a central count system, this may take until the early morning hours of Nov. 6, and all the absentee ballot results will be posted simultaneously.

People should make sure to drop off their ballot or vote in person and stay in line until they are told otherwise. Don’t look at early polling data and decide that your vote doesn’t count. Any content online about polls closing early or later could be manufactured to prevent people from voting.

Billboards and mailers are targeting Arab American communities in Metro- Detroit. The mayor, Abdullah Hammoud has called out these disinformation campaigns on social media and has re-stated that he has not endorsed any candidate

Text messages and mailers point are focused on the following: 

    • Mass text message campaigns stating Harris supports Israel and her husband, Douglas Emhoff, is Jewish. 

    • There was an Electronic billboard on Telegraph Road in Dearborn Heights that declares Harris and Democratic U.S., Senate candidate Elissa Slotkin, who is Jewish, as “more focused on arming Israel than helping your family.”

Republican PAC’s funded by Elon musk are targeting Arab communities with misinformation. Yes, Doug Emhoff is Jewish, but Harris makes policy decisions based on briefings from the Intelligence communities, the National Security Council and foreign policy experts. U.S. Senate Candidate Slotkin haws called for a negotiated cease-fire in Gaza that includes the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas and lets aid flow to civilians.

Update: Election denial activists on Wednesday seized on errors in a routine Michigican voting report to claim that multiple people were casting ballots under a single voter’s name. 

  • The claims stemmed from a “report” by Check My Vote, a software system used by election denial activists to find supposedly suspicious votes, though experts say these systems are based on flawed methodologies.

The Michigan Secretary of State’s office clarified that the glitch was a result of voter addresses being listed on separate lines, mistakenly making it look like duplicate votes were cast. The error was quickly corrected, with officials confirming that each voter had only one recorded vote.
