Racine County man admits to illegally requesting Racine mayor's and Robin Vos' absentee ballots

TOWN OF DOVER — A Racine County man has admitted to surreptitiously ordering the absentee ballots of two prominent elected officials and requesting them to be mailed to his house in to prove that he could, even though that appears to be a felony.

“What I did was illegal. Not only illegal, it was criminal. But I’m guided by a moral compass. Because something is illegal, does that mean we shouldn’t do it?” the man, Harry Wait, said in a phone interview Thursday evening. “I want to prove this can happen. Do we want to invite banks to leave their doors open to see if all the money gets stolen? No. The system is unsecure. It’s a joke.”

Wait said he requested the ballots of Racine Mayor Cory Mason, a Democrat, and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican, without permission. He said he also requested the ballots of about 10 other friends with permission.

He said he was able to request the ballots via MyVote.Wi.Gov and request that the ballots be sent to his address in the Town of Dover, not the addresses of the proper voters, without providing Voter ID or other form of identification. Providing voter ID to request an absentee ballot is not necessary in Wisconsin if the voter has previously uploaded it to the site or identifies themself as "indefinitely confined."

Wait was aiming to highlight an alleged vulnerability in Wisconsin’s election system that could be abused by someone aiming to illegally swing elections. However, he still has not received the ballots he had requested, although he suspects they will arrive in the coming days.

No evidence has been presented that this ploy has ever been successfully abused in order to illegally cast ballots, although some elected officials fear it could be abused.

Sheriff Christopher Schmaling Schmaling After submitting requests for the ballots, Wait said he emailed Vos, Mason, and other area officials including Racine County District Attorney Patricia Hanson and Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling.

According to Wait, Schmaling called him after receiving the email. When Wait asked if he would be arrested, Wait said that Schmaling replied “Hell no.” Wait said in a text to a reporter later Thursday that Schmaling “further stated he appreciates what we have expose(d).”

Hanson, a Republican, said in an email Thursday evening: “I have made a request to the RCSO (Racine County Sheriff’s Office) to start an investigation into what occurred on all sides of this issue.”

If you’re gonna commit a crime to prove a point, best to frame up a scumbag you know. Get the ballots sent to his/her/manbearpig’s address.

Not that I would know anything about that stuff...

“The system is unsecure. It’s a joke.”

And the government gets very angry if you expose their corrupt voting system.

One or 2 ballots at a time isn’t swinging elections...thousands of fraudulent ones are.

His pointing this out is likely why they will try to prosecute him.

Trust us. Trust our systems.

Naw, how about trust, but verify! I hope this dude makes it through this OK.

Robin Vos is a HUGE disappointment. He has the ability to do something about the 2020 election fraud and he chooses to do nothing.
