Wisconsin Department of Justice Investigating Voter Fraud Activist

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022 -- 9:01 AM

(Terry Bell, WRN) There is now a state-level investigation into claims of voter fraud in Racine County.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice says it’s opened its case into the claim of a Racine-area man who says he applied online for absentee ballots using other people’s names. Harry Wait says he did it to prove his point about how easy it would be to commit voter fraud.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission says anyone who gets an absentee ballot under false pretenses is guilty of a crime. Commission officials said last week they plan to meet to discuss what criminal charges they might seek.
