Absentee ballot fraud has been uncovered in a 2022 midterms battleground state. The alleged plot involves a Milwaukee election official requesting military ballots and sending them to a Republican lawmaker.
A Milwaukee election official could face criminal charges accusing her of fraudulently requesting absentee ballots reserved for members of the military.
“Milwaukee Election Commission Deputy Director Kimberly Zapata, 45, of South Milwaukee was fired by Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson this week after Johnson discovered she had requested the ballots,”

I’m still not clear what happened as far as the “Republican lawmaker” is concerned.

Clearly there are serious problems with absentee ballots if they are mailed out to just anyone requesting them.

Interesting for those who read it. Milwaukee's Election Commission Deputy Director fraudulently procured military ballots for people who don't exist. She sent them to...the state Assembly Elections Committee chairwoman, a Republican. Why? The thought is "to alert (the chairwoman) to how easy it is to commit vote fraud using military ballots."
So, exactly who has a problem with that? If true, she was acting as a whistleblower BEFORE these ballots were cast fraudulently. No one was cheated out of their ballot becasue the names were non-existant people.

Check the ballots against registered addresses/names, make sure they’re signed and that the signature matches that on their DL or voter reg, make sure the ballots are dated. Then discard ALL the others.

If phony ballots are counted, then legitimate voters are cheated of their vote. I would like in person voting, on election day, thumbprint on your ballot, finger dipped in purple ink. And a short-duration henna tattoo on ones forehead reading: I VOTED.

The only person caught and fired was someone who was showing how the system could be corrupted and had no intention of doing so.

People magazine had a chirpy little item this week about NYC nurses delivering absentee ballots to hospital patients, helping them vote, and, I assume, mailing them back in for them. I’m still trying to figure out how that’s ok. Where are they getting the ballots? Who ensures there’s no double-voting? I think a lot of this goes on. I don’t think I’ll ever trust an election again.

Things are never as they appear. This could have been a failed attempt to nail republicans with vote fraud.

Did she get the ballots of non-existent people, "off the street," so to say, in order to keep them out of the hands of Demonrats? If so, she deserves a medal, not a jailcell.

Sad and disappointing that so many commentors do not read the entire article or are unable to comprehend it. I doubt most read past the first paragraph.

I live in WI and word on the street is the fired deputy director Zapata, who is a partisan 'rat hack, probably had the ballots sent to the republican lawmaker in some twisted act of revenge or attempt to get the republican in trouble. The republican lawmaker has been investigating election fraud in WI therefore is a target of the left. Zapata probably thought they'd never be able to trace where the the illegally obtained ballots originated from.
Zapata was knee deep in the 2020 election shenanigans.

So, how many were actually sent in?
Ironic this is a REPUBLICAN. If it is true at all.
Show me some person that has filled in hundreds or even thousands of fraudulent ballots. Prove it in a court of law.

This does not make it clear what was going on here.
Was it done to highlight holes in the absentee ballot system?
Was it done to make it look like the Republican lawmaker was up to no good?
Or, was something else going on here?

Thank you, #4. I actually did read the article. Twice. What you explained is what I read, it just didn’t make a lot of sense to me.

Fired? That's it? A crime was committed. We don't need a complicated process for dealing with election tampering. All we need is a straight across the board, one size fits all charge that covers everything from voting multiple times to developing a sophisticated national scam. The charge would be election tampering and a swift response to those who are found guilty, life imprisonment without parole. This is not a D or an R thing a crime is a crime and election tampering is right up there with treason. All of this hand wringing over criminals in America has to stop, stop making them out to be victims, rationalizing and justifying their actions. When we actually had justice in America, crime was low. Stop making simple things out to be complicated, they're not, crime and punishment are black and white simple.

So, a Republican effectively demonstrated how easy it was to fraudulently obtain ballots. Good.
If I were that Republican, I would have recorded the intent, with witnesses, well in advance of the attempt and, once the ballots were received, IMMEDIATELY called a press conference.
