ウィスコンシン州の控訴裁判所は、2022年に州議会議員へ偽の不在者投票用紙を送付したとして、ミルウォーキー市選挙管理委員会元副局長のキンバリー・D・ザパタ被告に対して下された有罪判決を支持しました。裁判所は、選挙不正3件および公職における不正行為1件についての有罪を確定させました。ザパタ被告には罰金刑および保護観察処分が言い渡されています。
ウィスコンシン州第1地区控訴裁判所は火曜日、ザパタ被告に対する陪審の有罪評決は妥当であるとの判決を下しました。同被告は2022年10月25日、職務用のラップトップを使用して、架空の3名義で軍人用の不在者投票用紙を請求し、それらを州議会議員の住所宛てに送付しました。ザパタ被告は後に警察に対し、この制度がいかに簡単に不正利用できるかを示すために犯行に及んだと供述していました。
