Kimberly Zapata, Former Milwaukee Election Commission Deputy Director. Her middle name might be Judas Iscariot, or not. There is no evidence that anybody actually cast these illegally obtained ballots.

An Election official in Milwaukee has been fired from her job participating in a scheme to cast doubt on the state’s system of ballot security.



There is no evidence that anybody actually cast these illegally obtained ballots.

As reported in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Milwaukee Election Commission Deputy Director Kimberly Zapata was fired from her job for requesting absentee military ballots and sending them to Republican State lawmaker Janel Brandtjen. Brandtjen is the chairperson of the Assembly Elections Committee. She is a Fascist on a mission to destroy public confidence in the electoral process because, of course she is. She’s a Republican. It’s what they do.

There is no evidence that anybody actually cast these illegally obtained ballots.



In Wisconsin, A member of the armed forces doesn’t need to register to vote or provide an ID to request a mail-in ballot. If the Republicans who control both houses of the State Legislature wanted to make sensible changes to secure this situation, they could. They would rather use this minuscule loophole in the law to grandstand about election fraud without any proof.

There is no evidence that anybody actually cast these illegally obtained ballots.



The Journal-Sentinel reports that “Milwaukee County prosecutors are considering charging Zapata with malfeasance in office, a felony, and illegally requesting a ballot, a misdemeanor, . .”

There is no evidence that anybody actually cast these illegally obtained ballots.

Ms Zapata ran a government department that was tasked with running clean, fair, and honest elections. She betrayed the trust of the citizens of Milwaukee. The city employees who worked in her department must be feeling an especially sharp sting. She needs to sit in jail and be awarded three dollars in dimes.

There is no evidence that anybody actually cast these illegally obtained ballots.

I considered adding “BREAKING!” to the title of this post. I decided against that because it’s a story about Republicans pulling ‘election fraud’ out of their asses when in fact;



There is no evidence that anybody actually cast these illegally obtained ballots.
