% >> EARLIER THIS WEEK, CLERKS
% AROUND THE STATE BEGAN THE
% PROCESS OF PUBLICLY TESTING THE
% VOTING MACHINES FOR EACH
% MUNICIPALITY.
% IN WEST BEND, THE CITY CLERK
% BROUGHT EACH OF THE TABULATORS
% INTO THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND
% CONDUCTED TESTS TO SHOW THE
% MACHINES WERE PROPERLY COUNTING
% BALLOTS, OR REJECTING BALLOTS
% THAT WERE IMPROPERLY MARKED.
% AFTER THE TESTS, MACHINES ARE
% CLEARED TO ENSURE THEY START
% COUNTING AT ZERO ON ELECTION
% DAY.
% A HANDFUL OF FIRST TIME ELECTION
% INSPECTORS AND POLL WORKERS WERE
% ON HAND TO SEE HOW THE MACHINES
% WORK AND ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE
% TUESDAY'S PRIMARY.
% WEST BEND USES DOMINION VOTING
% MACHINES, WHICH WERE CENTRAL TO
% A NUMBER OF UNFOUNDED CONSPIRACY
% THEORIES SPREAD BY SUPPORTERS OF
% DONALD TRUMP AFTER HE LOST THE
% 2020 LUCKTION.
% CITY CLERK LIZBET SANTANA SAYS
% HOPEFULLY CONDUCTING TESTS LIKE
% THESE HELPS ELIMINATE QUESTIONS
% AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
% >> THERE'S RUMORS, THEORIES AND,
% I MEAN, PEOPLE DON'T KNOW,
% THEY'RE NOT INFORMED.
% THEY'RE NOT EDUCATED IN SOME
% AREAS.
% AND AGAIN, FOR THE CITY OF WEST
% BEND, I DO TRAINING SESSIONS
% WITH THEM.
% ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY HAVE, I
% WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE AWARE
