The Left has been denying any election fraud for years. And they have even prosecuted Trump because of it.
But now, the newest discovery of election fraud has set off major alarm bells.
On Wednesday, a former Wisconsin election official was found guilty of voter fraud charges after creating ballots for fictitious military personnel in the 2022 election.
Kimberly Zapata, a former deputy commissioner of the Milwaukee Election Commission, was found guilty of three misdemeanor charges of making a false statement in order to get an absentee ballot and one count of criminal misconduct in public office.
While the jury found that Zapata had engaged in election fraud, her attorneys maintained that she was a whistleblower seeking to identify vulnerabilities in the Wisconsin electoral process.
Zapata utilized the names of fictitious military personnel to obtain three absentee ballots through My Vote Wisconsin during the 2022 election cycle.
Voters expressed concerns about the 2020 election’s integrity, and state representative Janel Brandtjen, a Republican, received the votes at her residence.
In Wisconsin, military personnel can request an absentee ballot without providing identification.
Following Brandtjen’s disclosure of the ballots addressed to imaginary military personnel, Zapata was fired and charged with voter fraud.
Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Matthew Westphal said, “We rely on our election workers to maintain the integrity of our election system.”
“Ms. Zapata took a tiny hammer and started chiseling away at that foundation. Instead of helping secure the absentee ballot system, she introduced fraud into that system.”
Attorney Daniel Adams, who represented Zapata, asserted that her goal was to reveal weaknesses in the electoral process.
“She was a whistleblower, she was showing the truth, with an action — an imperfect action, but a truthful action — what was going on,” said Adams.
“There’s a huge flaw here, and if people don’t take it seriously, some nefarious person will do something bad with this flaw in the system,” Adams continued.
Brandtjen claimed she had never spoken with Zapata and had no idea why the ballots had been sent to her.
She said, “If Ms. Zapata had wished to raise concerns about the election process, she could have done so anonymously by contacting appropriate authorities rather than jeopardizing her job and reputation.”
“I cannot speak to Kim Zapata’s intent as I have never spoken with her,” she added.
Zapata may be sentenced to more than four years in jail and more than $10,000 in fines on each of the four crimes.
Her sentencing is scheduled for May.
As we approach 2024 and a potential rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, electoral procedures are anticipated to be closely examined.
The widespread use of vote drop boxes in the 2020 election was found to be in violation of state election law by the Wisconsin Supreme Court earlier this year.
We must be vigilant and prepared for all scenarios, and we cannot allow the Radical Left to steal our freedoms away through false elections.
