Milwaukee’s Fox affiliate reports:
Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson announced Thursday, Nov. 3 that Milwaukee’s Election Commission deputy director Kimberly Zapata has been fired. This, after he says she fraudulently requested military absentee ballots and sent them to Republican state lawmaker Rep. Janel Brandtjen.
“This has every appearance of being an egregious and blatant violation of trust,” Mayor Johnson said. “I was stunned, absolutely stunned, to hear the very serious allegations against her.”
As a member of the military you don’t have to register or show an ID to vote. The city believes Zapata was trying to prove a loophole in the elections process. Last week, Rep. Janel Brandtjen shared the photo below of military ballots delivered to her home with apparently fake names.
Read the full article. Democrats are calling for criminal charges against Zapata and Brandtjen, the latter of whom appeared here in July when she called for decertifying Wisconsin’s 2020 presidential election result.
