Muskego police, fire referendum; voters reject $5.9M measure

MILWAUKEE - Muskego voters on Tuesday rejected a $5.9 million referendum to fund additional police officers and transition to full-time staffing for fire department services. Muskego presented the referendum as the city's population expands. If passed, the property tax increase would have added about $500 annually to the tax bill of a median-assessed home valued at $512,000.

Election Day errors add to Milwaukee’s history of messy elections

Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for Votebeat Wisconsin’s free newsletter here . Walking down Milwaukee’s Brady Street nightlife district on Oct. 23, near hundreds of rowdy fans cheering on the Brewers in Game 1 of the World Series, Wisconsin Elections Commission appointee Bob Spindell raised a topic that’s often on his mind: his distrust in the city’s election operations. Spindell — a former Milwaukee election commissioner who signed false certificates of election for President Donald Trump in 2020 — told Votebeat that he had been trying to make a $100 bet that something would go wrong with the city’s 2026 election, but nobody would take him up on his offer. His faith in the city had not improved by Monday, as he followed Milwaukee officials leading a walkthrough of the facility where all its absentee ballots would be counted the following day. “I assume something will go wrong tomorrow,” he told Votebeat. Spindell would have won his bet. Not long after polls opened on Tuesday, officials discovered that a tabulator — which hadn’t counted any ballots yet — lacked a proper security seal over a panel door.
