Corruption And Negligence Invite Federal Oversight of Midterms

JOHN ELLIS

On June 2nd, 2026, and pending appeal, Harry Wait of Union Grove was sentenced to three years of probation after being wrongfully charged, tried, and convicted on two counts of voter fraud and one count of identity theft. Wait was charged after successfully and transparently exposing massive vulnerabilities in the Wisconsin Elections Commissions’ (WEC) MyVote website. Specifically, anyone using MyVote can request an absentee ballot in someone else’s name without an ID, and have that ballot sent to any address they want.

The charges were brought against Wait by Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, to destroy his credibility by having him branded as a felon and to keep the serious election problems he had uncovered hidden from the public. The entire story was reported in the May/June issue of On Wisconsin Outdoors (OWO) in an article titled, Voter Fraud Trial Exposes Government Officials as The Real Criminals.

At the sentencing Kaul’s Assistant Attorney General, Leigh Neville-Neil, showed no remorse for her role in Wait’s wrongfulconviction. She aggressively advocated to have the seventy-three-year-old man recovering from a stroke incarcerated for three months and continued lying as she did during the trial, stating Wait intentionally committed crimes targeting people he disliked. Neville-Neil also embarrassed herself professionally by saying that character is measured by judgement, after showing none herself. Although silent at the hearing, Assistant Attorney General Adrienne Blais was complicit in Wait’s conviction and her association with Josh Kaul’s corrupt Attorney General’s Office must not be forgotten.

Judge Daniel Johnson, who after Wait’s trial instructed the jury to use “judgement and truth” to reach their verdict, didn’t take his own advice when he failed to overturn Wait’s conviction. The evidence presented at the trial and reported on by OWO, clearly showed that Wait didn’t steal anyone’s vote or identity. Now, because Johnson failed to right the wrong, Wait remains a felon unable to vote or own a firearm.

The trial and conviction of Harry Wait was immoral, because everyone who participated in his prosecution knows that he’s not a criminal. Those people include the prosecution team of Kaul, Neville-Neil, and Blais, along with Judge Daniel Johnson. Also included are Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Racine Mayor Cory Mason; two deceitful prosecution witnesses, who reinforced their earned reputation on stand as elected officials that can’t be trusted.

The problems that Wait exposed with the MyVote website, are some of the many that make Wisconsin’s elections easy to steal. Those problems have been ignored and covered up by the WEC, Wisconsin elected officials, and the media for years. As a result of the corruption and negligence, the federal government must step in to provide oversight of Wisconsin’s midterm elections in November.
