Democrats, in their pursuit of convicting all “election deniers,” have shown they are willing to pursue legal action against anyone who exposes weaknesses in the electoral system.
This week, 47-year-old Kimberly Zapata found herself facing potentially years in prison for her efforts to highlight flaws in Wisconsin’s election procedures.
Zapata, the former deputy director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, uncovered a significant vulnerability in the system: the ease with which individuals could obtain real military absentee ballots without proper verification.
By simply accessing the public website “My Vote Wisconsin,” Zapata was able to acquire three military absentee ballots using phony names, Social Security numbers, and addresses.
Contrary to assumptions, Zapata’s intentions weren’t to manipulate election outcomes. She used the address of Janel Brandtjen, the chair of the Campaigns and Elections Committee of the Wisconsin Assembly, to draw attention to the security loophole.
