Here we go!
Milwaukee will recount 30,000 absentee ballots due to a tabulator issue.
According to reports, it could take hours to recount the ballots.

“There was an issue with one tabulator not being sealed. Out of precaution, the city will recount each ballot. A long night just got longer,” the CBS reporter said.
