LINCOLN- On Tuesday morning, two Nebraska election officials were given the chance to testify before the Lancaster County Board and defend the integrity of the state's election process, which has come under fire after countless allegations of voter fraud were voiced by citizens. Lancaster County Election Commissioner Todd Wiltgen and Nebraska Deputy Secretary of State Wayne Bena told the Board that there has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud in any of the state's recent elections. Bena added that at least one ballot from every precinct was tested by an election worker prior to the election.

The Deputy Secretary of State also testified that a randomly-selected number of ballots are hand-counted and checked during each election, and that, out of 48,292 checked during the 2022 election, only 11 had discrepancies, an error rate of roughly .0002%. Also explained in detail to the board was how Nebraska's voting machines work. "Each one of our machines that count ballot, let me be clear, are not connected to the internet at any point," said Bena, "They have no wireless capability, they have no Bluetooth capability."

Once ballots are counted, the two elections officials explained, the data from the voting machines is placed on a military-grade encrypted USB drive, which is then placed into an "air-gapped" computer, which does not have the capability to connect to the internet. Bena and Wiltgen also spoke on the integrity of Nebraska's mail-in ballot system, saying they are doubtful of allegations that some Nebraskans received more than one. Despite this, many citizens, during the public comment period, stated that they still believe voter fraud is occurring in the state.
