Milwaukee elections official fired after allegedly requesting military ballots for fake voters

A top elections official in Milwaukee has been fired after allegedly obtaining military absentee ballots for fake voters through a state-run website and sending them to a Republican state lawmaker, Mayor Cavalier Johnson announced Thursday.

Kimberly Zapata, deputy director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, allegedly requested the military ballots through the state’s MyVote Wisconsin website, Johnson said.

The ballots were sent to GOP State Rep. Janel Brandtjen, an outspoken critic of how votes were tallied during the 2020 election, who said in an October 31 statement that she believes “someone was trying to point out how easy it is to get military ballots in Wisconsin.”

Brandtjen’s office says the ballots were found on October 27 and then turned over to the Waukesha County sheriff’s office, who confirmed her account and said it was working with the Waukesha County district attorney’s office in this investigation.

The Milwaukee County district attorney’s office told CNN that it expects criminal charges to be filed against Zapata “in the coming days.”

Zapata’s attorney Michael Maistelman told CNN: “We will litigate this in the courtroom, not the media.”

The absentee ballots sent to Brandtjen were addressed to individuals who do not appear to exist, according to her statement, which included pictures of the envelopes she received.

“The ballots were all addressed to ‘Holly’ with three different last names. None of these individuals reside, or have resided at her address, and the Representative did not request the ballots,” her statement said.

Never underestimate the ability of Democrats to find new ways to cheat.

Democrats always favor election policies, procedures, regulations, and laws that facilitate fraud.

Only those exposing fraud or the lack of election integrity will be punished. Actual fraud will not.

The article wasn’t clear enough on that. Even if it had been an honest attempt to check, they should have consulted a lawyer before doing it.

They fired the whistleblower and not the person that created the ballots for the whistleblower.
