Strange, because I've been told by leftists that there is no fraud.

Viva Zapata! Sounds like another bandita!

“Kim Zapata’s acts were driven by stress; they were not perfect in any way,” he said. “What she did was act to illuminate a gap between the American ideal of a perfect democracy and the facts as they are, which is there is a gap, a flaw, in Wisconsin’s electoral system. That’s it.”

Horse sh!t. Lock her up.

[ProudDeplorable]

Exactly. I didn’t think fraud happened at all when it came to elections. I don’t see anybody being prosecuted for the truckload of ballots being brought into PA.

[ClearCase_guy]

Step 1) Lock her up because what she did was wrong.

Step 2) Investigate the problem that stressed her out, chase down the issue that she was blowing a whistle about, fix the election system to stop future fraud.

But, of course, only Step 1 will be followed. We now have a society in which whistleblowers are locked up and nothing gets fixed.

The media will continue to pretend that every voter fraud case is isolated and no two of them are connected. Trying to eliminate fraud is turning into a game of whack-a-mole.

Prosecutor Matthew Westphal said Zapata harmed the system she was paid to protect. Her own words:
<><>She told us in 2022 that she fabricated the names of three individuals
<><>her plan was to have fake ballots issued,
<><>she did this on her laptop, a tax-paid computer issued by the city,
<><>she did this using the WisVote system to gain the address.
<><>that she calculatedly had the ballots sent.

Understand that if fraud can be done this easily, it WILL be done. And on a wide scale.

[Sequoyah101]

That only took nearly two years to assess. What good has it done? Just about none. The election is still flawed and unfair and illegal. The truth of who won is still not determined and what difference does that make at this point.

The damage from election fraud is irreparable. It should be punished by DEATH.

It was very obvious that something was wrong in the Milwaukee voting.

Yep, 2020 was the "cleanest, least fraud-ridden election ever" - and judge after judge after judge - despite mountains of evidence showing clear violations of election laws - agreed.

Ditto for 2024.

The 3rd world - with tamper-proof voter ID cards have cleaner elections than the U.S.

[libertylover]

Strange, because I've been told by leftists that there is no fraud.

I've been told that my own self.

[Vendome]

Took a chance and looked her up for you guys.

There is no chance she can be rehabilitated.

Guilty as hell....

WAPO has an interesting take: Former Milwaukee election official convicted of absentee ballot fraud

Kimberly Zapata, the city’s former deputy elections director, was tried in an unusual case that pitted a self-proclaimed whistleblower against election conspiracy theorists

[Boiler Plate]

I think Zapata was attempting to PROVE there was a serious problem.

Zapata stated that “she went to the MyVote website and fabricated three individuals who did not exist,” the complaint says.

“Zapata did this because she wanted to make a point that there is fraud in existence. She stated that it is not the conspiracy theories out there, but she wanted to bring the actual true fraud out. Zapata stated that she felt overwhelmed due to the threats of violence the Election Commission was receiving, in addition to the constant daily harassment and accusations of lying and hiding things. She stated she wanted the truth to come out so that they could focus on the actual problems.”

Captions, anyone?

[Svartalfiar]

Zapata's attorney, Daniel Adams, said she was a whistleblower--highlighting loopholes in the Wisconsin electoral system.

That might be believable if she turned herself in and actually reported these loopholes. But if she didn't make this argument until she got caught, then she's clearly lying!
