Milwaukee’s deputy elections director is out of a job and under investigation in a ballot fraud case.
Milwaukee’s mayor yesterday said he fired Milwaukee Election Commission Deputy Director Kimberly Zapata after she admitted that she sent three fake military ballots to a Republican state representative. The mayor says charges are likely coming in the case. Milwaukee’s elections boss said Zapata was forthcoming about what she did, and hinted that she was making a point about a vulnerability in Wisconsin’s MyVote system. Military voters in Wisconsin don’t have to register or send in a photo ID, which means there is an opportunity for voter fraud.
This is the second time this year that someone is being accused of committing voter fraud to prove a point about voter fraud.
