“The Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) today announced that Harry E. Wait, 68, of Union Grove, Wis., has been charged with two counts of Election Fraud and two counts of Unauthorized Use of an Individual’s Personal Identifying Information in connection with his requesting absentee ballots for two other individuals,” says a press release from the State Department of Justice.
“‘The Wisconsin Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that the integrity of our elections is protected from alleged intentional violations of the law,’ said AG Kaul. According to the criminal complaint, on the evening of July 26, 2022, Mr. Wait went to MyVote.wi.gov and requested absentee ballots for two individuals to be sent to his address in Union Grove, Wis. The complaint states that, in multiple online videos and other correspondence, Mr. Wait admitted requesting the ballots using the other individuals’ personal identifying information. The complaint states that the individuals did not authorize Mr. Wait to use their personal identifying information for this purpose. As in any criminal proceeding, Mr. Wait is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The investigation was led by DOJ’s Division of Criminal Investigation,” the statement added.
Wait’s indictment by the state came after the local MAGA Sheriff, Chris Schmaling, declined to investigate the asshole, claiming Wait was actually exposing a vulnerability even if he was breaking the law in doing so, which was a complete bullshit cop-out from a weenie who last year melted down over orderlies helping nursing home residents fill out ballots in 2020. No vulnerability was exposed because Wait didn’t actually try to vote using the fraudulently obtained ballots. All he accomplished was wasting state resources on printing and postage to mail them to him.
