Un tribunal de apelaciones ratifica la condena por fraude de una exfuncionaria electoral

Un tribunal de apelaciones de Wisconsin ha ratificado la condena contra la ex subdirectora de la Comisión Electoral de Milwaukee, Kimberly D. Zapata, por enviar papeletas de voto ausente falsas a un legislador estatal en 2022. El tribunal confirmó su culpabilidad en tres cargos de fraude electoral y un cargo de conducta indebida en el ejercicio de un cargo público. Zapata fue sentenciada a pagar multas y a cumplir libertad condicional.

El Tribunal de Apelaciones del Distrito I de Wisconsin dictaminó el martes que Zapata fue condenada correctamente por un jurado. Ella había utilizado su computadora portátil de trabajo el 25 de octubre de 2022 para solicitar boletas de voto ausente militares a nombre de tres personas falsas y las dirigió a la dirección de un legislador. Posteriormente, Zapata declaró a la policía que actuó para demostrar lo fácil que era cometer fraude con el sistema.
