The Wisconsin Elections Commission’s top person says three fake military ballots will not impact tomorrow’s election.  Elections Commission administrator Meagan Wolfe on Friday said the case of a Milwaukee elections official who created the fake ballots and then mailed them to a state lawmaker is isolated and was swiftly detected.  Wolfe does admit that the case is another blow to the public confidence in elections.  Wolfe says voter fraud cases are extremely rare, and like in the case, are prosecuted when they
