A Wisconsin veterans group and state Rep. Janel Brandtjen have asked a Waukesha County judge to block the immediate counting of military ballots after three arrived at Brandtjen's home in the names of voters who do not exist, a move that drew immediate criticism from a national veterans group.
The Washington, D.C.-based Union Veterans Council filed to intervene in the case. Executive director Will Attig said he is afraid the suit is "a canary in the coal mine" of similar suits to come around the country.
"This is a combined effort to sow doubt around the election, and they just picked military members as a pawn, as a tool to do that," Attig said. "This is just an outrageous attack that is completely unwarranted."
A now-fired Milwaukee elections official said she requested the military ballots using fake names and had them sent to Brandtjen's home in Menomonee Falls to make a point about voter fraud, prompting prosecutors to charge her with a felony and three misdemeanors.
The actions of the former Milwaukee Election Commission deputy director, Kimberly Zapata, demonstrate "a vulnerability in Wisconsin’s military absentee ballot process," reads a court document filed Friday by the Thomas More Society.
The Thomas More attorneys are asking the court for a temporary restraining order and a temporary injunction to sequester all military ballots and stop them from being counted — until officials can verify they are legitimate and match current lists of military voters.
