A problem with the voting tabulator at a Waukesha poll location had backed up lines and election workers running ballots. TMJ4 News heard about the issue when Jolie messaged us on Facebook to say, "The machine broke down and ballots are being put in lock boxes." How long did it take you to vote today? asked reporter Rebecca Klopf."Eight minutes, answered Sharon Budiac, a voter from Brookfield."Probably five to ten minutes, said Vera Dewolfe, also a Brookfield voter.
