Fewer than 20 percent of the provisional ballots cast in the election two weeks ago by voters who didn't have the required photo ID were counted.

The preliminary tally comes Tuesday from the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

There were at least 750 provisional ballots cast in the Nov. 8 election, and of those, 618 were issued because the voter didn't have an acceptable photo ID, according to the commission.

Only 116 out of the 618 provisional ballots were counted. Most of them, 399, were marked as "deadline expired," which indicates they weren't counted. Another 278 were outright rejected and 224 had no information reported on their status.

Actually, if the machines were hacked, and the original code changed to alter the tallies... trotsky Nov 2016 #1

True. But I want the sources revealed and those machines identified. ffr Nov 2016 #2

Again I would say if you duplicate everything from the first tally... trotsky Nov 2016 #3

i hear you, but it seems a little odd that they need to "reprogram the machines" right away. nt TheFrenchRazor Nov 2016 #7
