WEC Failure to Maintain Accurate WisVote Database / Inadequate FIDO Key Security (WI)

The Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau determined that WEC failed to maintain a sufficiently accurate WisVote voter registration database. WEC issued 3,137 FIDO Keys and cannot account for how many were actually issued. At least one county received 15 keys when it requested 2. Of 2,938 active keys at one audit point, 1,929 (66%) were issued with full clerk-level access. This level of key proliferation rendered multi-factor authentication effectively meaningless and exposes all voter records to unauthorized access and potential alteration.
