Donald Trump's election day campaigning outside a Waukesha fire station didn't violate any state rules, a state official clarified Tuesday.

Wisconsin law prohibits election activities such as holding campaign signs or distributing leaflets within 100 feet of a polling place, leading to initial claims that Trump had gone too close to the actual voting, according to Michael Haas, elections administrator for the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board.

But it turns out those claims weren't true, Haas said.

"The Waukesha city clerk checked with the election inspectors who told her that Mr. Trump did not enter the polling place and remained outside the 100 foot zone where electioneering is prohibited," Haas said. "There was apparently a miscommunication with our office earlier in the day when we talked to the city clerk. A voter claimed that (Trump) was inside, but the city clerk did not state that."

A supporter of Donald Trump posted a video of the candidate greeting voters outside Waukesha Fire Station 5, a polling place, shortly before noon Tuesday.

A Trump supporter who goes by @queeneliza0907 on Twitter was present for the candidate's Waukesha visit and tweeted videos showing him mingling with other supporters outside the fire station.
