A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Kenosha County Election Department in Wisconsin on October 30, 2024. The request was made by The Sconi, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request asked for specific details regarding the methods used by the department to count ballots during elections. If manual counting is being employed, the department has been asked to provide an estimated number of people who will be working on election night.
At The Sconi, we believe that access to public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news, we requested a fee waiver for this information under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq.
We await a response from the Kenosha County Election Department and will continue to keep our readers informed about local government operations as part of our commitment to transparency and accountability.
