The deputy director of Milwaukees election commission has been fired after she fraudulently requested military absentee ballots and sent them to a state Republican representative.

Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said he fired election official Kimberly Zapata after she sent the improperly-obtained ballots to state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, R-Menomonee Falls. Brandtjen, the chair of the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections, has come under scrutiny at times for using her committee to amplify speakers who've sown doubt about the 2020 election.
Johnson said he was "absolutely stunned" when he heard of the allegations against Zapata.

"This has every appearance of being an egregious, blatant violation of trust," Johnson said during a press conference Thursday morning. "This matter is now in the hands of law enforcement."

Johnson said the city hasnt learned of any other violations by Zapata as of Thursday morning.
"Even so, were looking into the possibility of other misdeeds," Johnson said.

According to a statement sent to WPR, the Milwaukee County District Attorneys Office is reviewing the allegations against Zapata.

"We expect charges to be filed in the coming days," the statement said.

What's with all these Republican officials putting themselves in legal jeopardy just to spread Trump's lies?

Not surprised. These neo facist racists try to do their dirt in secret. Throw the book at her and any other alt right/ right wing conspirators.

Literally Cava Johnson.

They think they can overthrow American democracy with sheer numbers and if they are part of the revolution and if it succeeds they'll be rewarded. These traitors deserve the worst.

More of that republican projection.

We all remember how many dumb chud assholes they caught after 2020 too, including the guy who voted for his recently dead wife, because all MAGAs are heartless shitheels.

Oh look, more Republicans doing fraud

I live in WI.

A family member shared the original article about the investigation into a WI rep getting fake military ballots, and proclaimed this was evidence of election fraud.

So I shared this on their post.

Showing just how easy it is to commit election fraud undetected

Crazy to have the zapata family name and behave like this

LMFAO
