Gableman represents man charged with false ballot requests

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who led a fruitless 14-month investigation into the state's 2020 election results appeared in court Monday to represent a man accused of fraudulently requesting absentee ballots.

Michael Gableman said he was temporarily representing Harry Wait in a preliminary hearing in Racine County, the Racine Journal Times reported. Wait has been charged with election fraud and identity theft for requesting the ballots of Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, Racine Mayor Cory Mason and others.

Wait has said he requested the ballots to prove that the state’s voter registration system, MyVote Wisconsin, is vulnerable to fraud.

Vos, who hired Gableman last year to investigate the 2020 election, fired him in August soon after Gableman endorsed Vos' primary opponent. Gableman's investigation found no evidence of fraud and cost taxpayers more than $1 million.

Online voter registration is available up until 2 weeks before election to allow state agencies to confirm the ID, address and eligibility of the new registrant to vote. After that, voters register at the polls with their proper ID and proof of residency.

The voter registration is not vulnerable to fraud. And ordering an absentee ballot has nothing to do with voter registration. Perhaps this idiot will correct the record, but media reports state he did not try to change the registration of anyone he sought a ballot for; he simply requested it be sent to a different address. Had he completed the ballots and returned them (committing more felonies), the signature he used would have been matched to the voter's ID, previously submitted to the municipal clerk. When these voters showed up in person or tried to request a ballot, the whole scenario would have been exposed for the fraud it is and he would have had investigators knocking on his door instead.
