NBC News tried to wait out a “tabulation error” in the Wisconsin Democratic primary, resulting in some incredibly awkward television.
Polling in the governor’s race showed socialist candidate Francesca Wong leading by a significant margin, so how is it that she lost to Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley? While critics might attribute such a loss to the resurfacing of wild and radical social media posts from several years ago, others are questioning a reported “tabulation error” in the election data.

As it turns out, five USB sticks containing absentee ballot results were only comprised of audit logs, instead of the actual voting totals. Officials reportedly attributed this to “human error” and it ultimately postponed the final vote, which ultimately ended up handing Crowley the shocking victory.
NBC News was clearly unprepared for this twist:

All the possible explanations point to either fraud, incompetence or both.

Democrats have a huge problem with elections. They are so fraudulent in every aspect of integrity.

Sounds like the DNC has decided it doesn’t want Socialists winning anymore elections, so they started making the calls.

Its always an error of some type and always favors a Democrat candidate in the end. One day people will wake up and care….I guess.

Oh, but 2020 was safe and secure!! No evidence of election fraud in Milwaukee County. The Demoncrats have been perfecting the fraud for years. 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential cycle will be no different. Insert (Dem Candidate) as next President.
