Racine County man's election fraud trial set to begin after absentee ballot controversy

A Racine County man accused of requesting absentee ballots in the names of two prominent Wisconsin politicians is set to go to trial later this month.

Harry Wait, 71, faces two misdemeanor election fraud charges and two felony identity theft charges filed by Wisconsin's Attorney General's office.

He is accused of going to the My Vote government website in 2022 to request absentee ballots for Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Racine Mayor Cory Mason.

Wait received and returned Mason's ballot, never received Vos' ballot, and then publicly admitted to the actions in online videos and notified local authorities about what he did.
