Pengadilan banding kuatkan vonis penipuan mantan pejabat pemilu

Pengadilan banding Wisconsin telah menguatkan vonis terhadap mantan Wakil Direktur Komisi Pemilihan Umum Milwaukee, Kimberly D. Zapata, karena mengirimkan surat suara absen palsu kepada seorang anggota legislatif negara bagian pada tahun 2022. Pengadilan mengukuhkan kesalahannya atas tiga dakwaan penipuan pemilu dan satu dakwaan pelanggaran dalam jabatan publik. Zapata dijatuhi hukuman denda dan masa percobaan.

Pengadilan Banding Distrik I Wisconsin memutuskan pada hari Selasa bahwa Zapata telah divonis dengan benar oleh juri. Ia menggunakan laptop kerjanya pada 25 Oktober 2022 untuk meminta surat suara absen militer atas nama tiga orang fiktif dan mengarahkannya ke alamat seorang anggota legislatif. Zapata kemudian memberi tahu polisi bahwa tindakannya itu dilakukan untuk menunjukkan betapa mudahnya melakukan penipuan dengan sistem tersebut.
