An audit of the November election in Wisconsin, won by President Donald Trump, revealed that no votes were incorrectly counted, altered, or missed by tabulating machines. The audit also confirmed that voting machines and software were not hacked or tampered with. Despite Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris in Wisconsin by 29,000 votes, allegations of widespread fraud in the 2020 election were not supported by two partial recounts, a nonpartisan audit, and legal reviews.

Meagan Wolfe, Wisconsin’s top elections official, highlighted that the audit showcases the efficiency of election processes and dispels misinformation about electronic voting security. Required by state law after each general election since 2006, the post-election audit involved hand-counting 327,230 ballots from 336 randomly selected municipalities, constituting nearly 10% of all 2024 Wisconsin ballots—a record for post-election audits in the state.

Notably, the audit identified only five human errors, resulting in an exceptionally low error rate of 0.0000009%. Ann Jacobs, chair of the elections commission, emphasized that the accuracy of voting tabulators should reassure individuals across political affiliations that election integrity was maintained. The audit’s findings aim to foster confidence in the election process by demonstrating the accuracy and reliability of vote-counting procedures in Wisconsin.
