Amid the endless discord over voting integrity, an exercise to assure its validity takes place tomorrow in Sheboygan.
The City of Sheboygan will conduct public testing of its electronic voting equipment beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursday in the City Clerk’s office at 828 Center Avenue. The Wisconsin Elections Commission requires every municipality in the state to conduct the tests not earlier than 10 days before each election in order to confirm the accuracy of voting equipment programming, and to bring transparency to the process, and the public is invited to attend.
During the test, a set of pre-marked ballots will be fed into each machine and the resulting tape will be reviewed. An errorless count is required at the conclusion of the testing. Following the public test, the voting equipment must be secured, with memory devices remaining in the equipment with a tamper-evident seal to secure the memory compartment, and a chain-of-custody log kept to record any access to the device.
Sheboygan County Clerk Jon Dolson told WHBL News that there are 28 municipalities in all in the county, and since each sets its own date and time your local clerk should be contacted with questions.
