A Milwaukee elections official has been fired after allegedly requesting military ballots for fake voters.
Kimberly Zapata, the deputy director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, was terminated from the role after using bogus names to request the ballots and sending them to Republican state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson announced Thursday."I will not accept, I will not tolerate, and I certainly will not defend any misrepresentation by a city official involved in elections.
Brandtjen announced earlier this week that she found the ballots delivered to her on Oct. 27. She also said she believed that someone appeared to be trying to make a point about the military ballot process. "I believe someone was trying to point out how easy it is to get military ballots in Wisconsin. Registration for military ballots is not required, so a fictitious name and birth date is all that is required to obtain a military ballot online," Brandtjen said in a statement Monday."Feeling shocked about this situation is an understatement because it demonstrates stolen valor from those who protect this nation.
In the gubernatorial race, Republican Tim Michels leads Democratic Gov. Tony Evers by 0.2 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics polling average, while in the Senate race, Sen. Ron Johnson leads Democratic Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes by 3.2 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
