Christine Daikawa, Cedarburg - Voter Fraud

We must do all we can to protect the integrity of our elections. We must have measures in place to safeguard the validity of the system.

Democrats, of course, orchestrated conditions, in many cases illegally, to make it easier for people to commit crimes.

The fact is there are dishonest people who are willing to cheat.

Christine Daikawa of Cedarburg, Wisconsin cheated. She committed voter fraud. She got caught.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

A Cedarburg woman has been charged with voter fraud after prosecutors say she submitted an absentee ballot close to Election Day for her life partner who died in July.

Christine Daikawa, 48, faces two counts — making a false statement to obtain or vote an absentee ballot, a misdemeanor, and election fraud by impersonating an elector, a felony.

According to the criminal complaint:

Cedarburg City Clerk Tracie Sette told investigators that when election workers tried to log an absentee vote that had been dropped off on Election Day, records showed the voter, Elizabeth "Lizzy" Larson, was deceased. The vote, therefore, was not counted.

Larson, 56, had requested an absentee ballot for the Nov. 3 election back in March. She died July 9.

But the ballot envelope had been signed and dated Sept. 16. Daikawa had signed as the witness, listing an address in Thiensville. From Larson's obituary, detectives learned Daikawa had been her partner.

...When confronted with the absentee ballot envelope on Nov. 11, Daikawa said, “I did, but I didn’t mean to” and then said that she'd committed voter fraud and was going to jail.

Daikawa admitted that she cast a vote for a dead person. She admitted that she committed a crime. She said she's going to jail.

We can only hope that her crime will be taken seriously and she will be punished for trying to steal the vote in Wisconsin.

If Daikawa isn't punished, we will know Wisconsin's elections are dirty and millions of Wisconsinites are disenfranchised.

A slap on the wrist is insufficient for Daikawa's crime.

We will find out if Ozaukee County and Wisconsin authorities are willing to tolerate voter fraud. We'll find out if we can have faith in our elections.
