The former Milwaukee election official charged with ballot fraud is getting some help from the law firm with ties to Michael Gableman.
Kimberly Zapata was in court on Friday, she was formally charged with one felony count of misconduct in public office, and three misdemeanor counts of making a false statement to obtain an absentee ballot.
She claims she created the fake ballots and sent them to a state lawmaker to prove a point about the weaknesses of Wisconsin’s MyVote system.
Zapata is being defended by lawyers from the Thomas More Society.
The firm has worked closely in the past with former 2020 special investigator Michael Gableman.
Zapata was fired from the Milwaukee Elections Commission, but not the city altogether. She’s free on bond.
