With the assistance of individuals who purchased the state's voter list - at a bank-busting bill of $12,500 - Brandtjen said she was able to confirm that "Holly Adams" is voter ID# 701923079, still fake and still alive and well in the WisVote system, the state's voter registration database and election management system.
The voter entries, viewed by The Federalist, show the phony names, without a voting history, have been inactivated.
'There's a Huge Flaw Here' Zapata, who was in charge of Milwaukee's early and absentee voting and voter registration, claimed that she sent the ballots to Brandtjen to expose the security flaws in the state's election system.
Brandtjen said the presence of the phony military voters in the WisVote system "Highlights a blatant disregard for maintaining an accurate voter registry." "Even though they are inactive and have no voting history, the system can be updated daily," she said, referring to the ability of local election clerks to activate and inactivate voters on the rolls.
"There is no plausible reason for these names to remain on the inactive list after being implicated in election fraud. This negligence fosters distrust in the system, and unfortunately, no one will be held accountable for this incompetence." Wisconsin Elections Commission spokesman Riley Vetterkind explained that third-party groups regularly purchase voter roll data from WEC. That data include names and information of registered and eligible voters, as well as ineligible, unregistered voters.
"Ineligible records are not registered to vote, do not appear on pollbooks, and cannot cast a ballot in Wisconsin elections." He went on to say that state law prohibits the destruction of the voting records in the WisVote system.
Retaining ineligible voter records helps "Safeguard against voter fraud," the WEC official insists.
"If ineligible records are destroyed, election officials would lose a mechanism to verify these conditions." He added that the doctored names raising alarm bells with Brandtjen were "Intentionally preserved." "Permanently removing these voter records would be deleting evidence of the crime Rep. Brandtjen mentioned in her press release," he said, offering that ineligible records have been flagged so local elections officials can see them and reject them "In the event someone should try to illegally use them in the future." Milwaukee Election Commission executive director Paulina Gutierrez confirmed the records have been inactivated and that she does not have access to them.
Wisconsin's voter rolls are anything but pristine despite elections officials bragging last year that they had removed more than 100,000 out-of-date voter registrations.
Military absentee ballots make up a fraction of the total vote count in Wisconsin elections - less than a tenth of a percent, Wisconsin Elections Commission officials told the Associated Press.
The hotly contested 2020 presidential election in swing state Wisconsin was decided by some 20,000 votes, less than a percentage point, of the total, with Democrat Joe Biden claiming victory over Republican incumbent President Donald Trump.
