It’s not going to be enough to simply broadcast the vote count next year under a plan at the Wisconsin Capitol.
The Senate Committee on Elections is eyeing a plan that would require local election clerks to keep the tape as well. The plan says if a local election clerk broadcasts or livestreams the vote count on election night, they must keep a tape of that broadcast for 22 months. The proposal comes after some local election offices erased their vote counting tapes during the 2020 election.
