Canvassers document procedural irregularities across reporting units in Oconto County
Summary
Minutes list specific procedural deviations at multiple reporting units—missing serial numbers, separated zero and results tapes, unsigned forms and shift records—emphasizing that the irregularities were documented as not affecting the reported election outcome.
The Oconto County minutes enumerate procedural irregularities reported for multiple towns and cities following the April 7, 2026 spring election. The minutes state that the listed irregularities "did not affect the outcome of the election," while identifying deficiencies such as missing ICATI and box serial numbers on EL-104 forms (Town of Abrams), zero tape and results tape being cut apart (Town of Brazeau), absent write-in tapes (Town of Breed), unsigned tally sheets or incomplete shift documentation (multiple reporting units), and other deviations from the Election Day Manual.
Deputy County Clerk Kathy Goldschmidt (minutes posted April 15, 2026) and the County Clerk's office recorded the findings so municipalities can correct procedures going forward. The minutes include an explicit list of affected reporting units (Abrams, Brazeau, Breed, Gillett [town and city], How, Lakewood, Little Suamico, Maple Valley, Morgan, Mountain, Oconto [town and city], Oconto Falls, Pensaukee, Riverview, Spruce, Stiles, Townsend and the Village of Lena) and note specific form and tape issues for each. The board emphasized documentation and follow-up rather than altering reported results.
