MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Prosecutors charged a Wisconsin man Thursday with election fraud and identity theft after he acknowledged that he fraudulently requested absentee ballots in what he says was an effort to expose vulnerabilities in the state’s election system.

The state Department of Justice charged 68-year-old Harry Wait with two misdemeanor counts of election fraud and two felony counts of identity theft. He would face up to 13 years behind bars if convicted on all four counts.

Wait told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that he wasn’t surprised he was charged.

“You got to expect to pay some costs sometimes when you are trying to work for the public good,” he said. “You can’t always stay in the safe zone.”

15. Is it my imagination or

does the AP article not once mention the likely fact that this joker is a Republican?

Sure, it's obvious. But you'd think it might get a mention somewhere.

Call me cynical, but I bet if this fool was a Democrat it would be mentioned in the first or second line.

[quaker bill]

21. What he proved

is that you can try it, but you will get caught and possibly go to prison. No system can prevent attempted fraud, good systems catch it and prosecute the perps.
