Requesting Absentee Ballots with Fictitious Names = Crime, Even if Ballots Are to Be Sent to Legislator for "Whistleblowing"

In a recent Wisconsin Court of Appeals decision, Judge Sara Geenen ruled that requesting absentee ballots under fictitious names is illegal, even if the intention is to send them to a legislator for whistleblowing purposes. The court emphasized that this practice undermines election integrity and could lead to legal consequences. This case underscores the importance of maintaining transparency and accountability in electoral processes, highlighting the legal repercussions of circumventing established voting regulations. The ruling serves as a reminder of the serious implications of election fraud and the need for strict adherence to legal voting procedures.
