Umm, you'd think someone who lives in the state would know Wisconsin has required photo voter ID for over a decade
Even though, voter fraud still happens in Wisconsin. In small communities just a few fraudulent
votes can overturn an election.
“Wisconsin Watch partnered with Court Data Technologies to compile a database of all felony cases since 2012 that included charges related to election fraud, illegal voting or illegal voter registration.
Of the 192 prosecutions statewide, Wisconsin Watch was able to determine the nature of allegations in all but 11. There were 40 cases that involved the kind of fraudulent voting of the type banned everywhere, such as double voting or voting in the name of a dead person.
In 20 cases, election workers, volunteers or candidates were charged. The most recent and high-profile example is a now-former Milwaukee election clerk who requested military absentee ballots be sent to a lawmaker under fake names just before November’s election. Five of those were for candidates who submitted fraudulent nominating papers.”
Wisconsin is not voter fraud free.
