On Monday, Wisconsin Commissioner of Elections Ann Jacobs tweeted her analysis of the scenario and explained on 12 News at 4 that the show’s writers were accurate in their portrayal of how the “central counting” systems for Wisconsin elections work.
Jacobs said the episode incorrectly stated that the election could not tell who mailed or filed absentee ballots burned in the fire.
“Our staff, like Milwaukee city clerks, are able to scan the barcodes of all the absentee ballot envelopes that have been received. They do, and that goes right away to the statewide computer system. So we know whose ballots have arrived very quickly,” Jacobs said in the interview. Live on Tuesday “after they entered”.
She said that if there was an actual fire at a vote-counting facility and the ballots were destroyed, the court would likely decide what would happen to the voters who cast their ballots.
“I doubt we’ll end up with some kind of modified deadline for resubmitting ballot papers or allowing people to vote,” she said. “That would certainly be my hope because if this happens, we don’t want to see 100,000 people completely disenfranchised.”
There are only two episodes left in the final season of “Succession”. The next episode airs Sunday, May 21 on HBO and HBO Max.
