Top Election Official Convicted for Creating Fake Names to Order and Send Absentee Ballots

Top Election Official Convicted for Creating Fake Names to Order and Send Absentee Ballots

Kimberly Zapata was a Wisconsin elections official who was fed up with Republicans talking about how easy it was to commit voter fraud. So, she decided to illegally send three ballots to a GOP state representative to, um, shut her up. On Wednesday, Zapata was found guilty of election fraud, despite her claimed motivations. Boy, she sure showed them. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the jury took roughly five hours to find the 47-year-old Zapata, formerly the Milwaukee Election Commission deputy director, of one felony charge of misconduct in public office and three misdemeanors for making false statements to obtain absentee ballots.
