Grow Omaha Streetcar in Focus: The Hop Streetcar System in Milwaukee

While in Chicago for the American Public Transportation Association tradeshow, EXPO,bmy marketing and communications colleague and I thought it would be worthwhile to take a side trip to Milwaukee and check out their streetcar operation to get a behind-the-scenes look at it. We were primarily at the EXPO to transport home the scale model of our CAF Urbos 100 streetcar vehicle that CAF was displaying there, while also making new connections and cementing old connections with partners on our streetcar project.

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.
