A former Milwaukee election official convicted of misconduct in office and fraud for obtaining fake absentee ballots was sentenced Thursday to one year of probation and fined $3,000.
Kimberly Zapata, 47, also was ordered to complete 120 hours of community service.
Prosecutors charged Zapata in November 2022 with one felony count of misconduct in public office and three misdemeanor counts of election fraud. A jury in March found her guiltyon all four counts.
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Kori Ashley rejected an argument by Zapata’s attorneys that she was acting as a whistleblower, telling her before handing down the sentence that she had ways to make her point other than breaking the law.

Because they’re desperate to be seen to the point of spewing negativity… same as most trolls really. Alternatively, they might be delusional enough to actually believe their bullshit.
Trolls gonna troll - look at their post history.
Everyone’s doing it to some extent, whether they want to admit it or not. I TRY not to let my bias influence my impression of events, but it definitely has some kind of impact.
