MILWAUKEE —
The deputy director of the City of Milwaukee's Elections Commission is under investigation for election fraud. Milwaukee city leaders say Kimberly Zapata requested military ballots to a state representative's home. Mayor Cavalier Johnson says Zapata was forthcoming.

"This has every appearance of being an egregious blatant violation of trust this matter is now in the hands of law enforcement," said Mayor Cavalier Johnson.

Earlier this week, State Representative Janel Brandtjen shared pictures on social media of three military absentee ballots addressed to someone named "Holly" sent to her home. Brandtjen is also the chairwoman of the Assembly Elections Committee.

Brandtjen is a Republican, so this would seem to be another example of someone doing it just to show how easy it is. A guy in Racine or Kenosha did this in 2020 as well. The Dems are upset and want them prosecuted as it undermines their claim the elections are perfectly safe from fraud.

In all fairness, he's still likely one of the least corrupt government officials in Milwaukee.

Sounds like someone requested military ballots (typically a GOP group, I would think), and the official just sent them without confirming the address or confirming a military background.

Is that “fraud” or just dereliction of duty (laziness)?

Does someone have a link to more facts?

Of course, no Repub would ever actually do anything so heinous as this.

What a crock of crap.

It seems a reasonable question. Can you answer it?

If this is just laziness, how does it benefit one party more than the other?

To paraphrase Hanlon, why automatically attribute to malice that which is also explicable thru incompetence?

Why do you support Democrats, the Party of Warmongers and pedophiles?

She's not just an "election worker." She's the deputy director of the City of Milwaukee Election Commission.

Because time after fricking time, all of the errors, mistakes, oversights, and problems benefit one side. I guess there is nothing to see here - again....

On Monday, Brandtjen alerted law enforcement that someone had sent military ballots in the names of people who don't exist to her home in what Brandtjen believed was an effort to alert her to how easy it is to commit vote fraud using military ballots.

Milwaukee Elections Commission Director Claire Woodall-Vogg says she believes that Zapata was attempting to point out that military ballots can be requested and sent out without a photo ID or even voter registration through the public LINK website.

Yes, this is correct. That’s because it was a sting operation to catch said official.

Yep. Seems like they were exposing how easy it is to defraud the system.
