1:07 PM: Two Complaints of Electioneering in McGee Recall
The City of Milwaukee Election Commission has received two reports of suspected electioneering by 6th District candidates, said Sue Edman, the commission's executive director.
One incident involved candidate the Rev. David King, who reportedly entered a polling place with electors he is said to have brought with him. Another involved a vehicle with a roof-top campaign sign parked within 100 feet of a polling place.
Both incidents are being addressed, Edman said.
Other than these incidents and a few machines that had absentee ballots get jammed in them, Edman said the election is going "very well."
Edman said the morning's rain likely depressed early turnout, but said she expects 11 percent to 12 percent to cast ballots.
