Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson announced Thursday that the deputy director of the Milwaukee Election Commission fraudulently requested military absentee ballots and sent them to a Wisconsin state representative. Mayor Johnson said during an unscheduled press briefing Thursday that he fired the city election official as soon as he learned of the allegation. The election official in question is Milwaukee Election Commission Deputy Director Kimberly Zapata. Johnson said Zapata sought "fictious military ballots" from a state election website and had those ballots sent to an unnamed state representative. She did so, the mayor said, to expose a vulnerability in state law. [ Ссылка ]
