The Wisconsin Department of Justice opened an investigation into a fraudulent ballot scheme Friday after a group of residents allegedly plotted to request illegitimate absentee ballots in August's primary elections.
Several residents who believe widespread voter fraud caused former President Donald Trump to lose the election used fake information to obtain absentee ballots in the names of other people and have the ballots mailed to them to demonstrate voter fraud is possible, according to the state's DOJ."DOJ is aware of reports of ballots being requested in Racine County for registered voters without their permission. DOJ has been in contact with DA Hanson and will be investigating this matter.
"I stand ready to be charged for exposing these voting vulnerabilities when I ordered Mason's and Vos's absentee ballot online, all without providing a photo I.D. or identifying myself," Wait said.Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling thanked Wait for sharing the information with his office in two emails but told him that his actions in the app were unnecessary.
