Cedarburg woman charged with election fraud, accused of submitting dead partner's ballot

CEDARBURG — A Cedarburg woman was charged with election fraud after a police investigation found that she allegedly submitted an absentee ballot for her dead partner.

Cedarburg police said these are the first voter fraud charges in the city’s history. Investigators said the suspect not only confessed, she also listed herself as the voter’s witness on the ballot envelope.

The ability to vote is a constitutional right and fundamental to our democracy. One Cedarburg woman is finding out there are major consequences for even trying to cast a ballot for someone else.

“I think in this case, the temptation was just too strong,” said Cedarburg police investigator David Dudash.

Officer Dudash said Christine Daikawa admitted to filling out and submitting her spouse’s ballot well after she died in July.

“She kind of was looking at the ballot and kind of taking deep breaths and looking at it, she kind of looked at it and said I committed voter fraud,” Dudash said.(snip)

Court records show the absentee ballot was “signed and dated September 16” and “received at the Cedarburg City Hall drop box on November 3.”

"I was trying to see if she was maybe doing it for a memory type thing, try to see if she wanted to get her spouse’s last wishes or last voice heard, but she said that wasn’t the case, that her spouse would have been upset with her by doing that because her spouse believed in democracy and that voter fraud would have been something that she would have been against,” Dudash said.(snip)

Daikawa faces two charges including a felony for election fraud, impersonating an elector. If convicted, she could face fines and up to four years in prison.

I think individual cases are a distraction. I think it’s easy for the public to shrug this off and say “no widespread fraud”.

I think there WAS widespread fraud. But this isn’t part of that.

A lesbian committing vote fraud and no mention of who she voted twice for.

Or am I missing something?

If she voted for President Trump, it would be in the first sentence of the article.

Most likely both ballots had Biden’s name selected.

Yup, its Wisconsin. That, Ooostburg, etc is largely Dutch.

The area just south of Green Bay has a large community of Flemish.

What does the article leave out?

Political Party?

Who she voted for?

That her “partner” was female and she is a lesbian?

Per the local news station.. “Officer Dudash said the city clerk knew something was wrong when she ran the voter’s name through the state’s voter registration database as she does with all absentee voters.

“It immediately identified that that voter Elizabeth Larson had deceased,” Dudash said.

Court records show the absentee ballot was “signed and dated September 16” and “received at the Cedarburg City Hall drop box on November 3.”
