Daniel Kelly endorsed by sheriff who refused to investigate conservative voter fraud

Daniel Kelly, the conservative nominee for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, announced on Tuesday he had been endorsed by "a majority of Wisconsin sheriffs," who he said know "what it means to uphold the Rule of Law."

One of Kelly’s endorsers is Racine County Sheriff Chris Schmaling, a right-wing supporter of former President Donald Trump who once refused to investigate or charge a conservative activist who told him directly that he'd committed voter fraud.

Harry Wait, the head of the group H.O.T. Government — the name stands for Honest, Open and Transparent — said he reached out to Schmaling to tell him he had fraudulently requested absentee ballots for prominent Wisconsin elected officials. Wait told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he committed voter fraud to prove vulnerabilities in the use of absentee ballots.

"Basically, I committed a crime when I ordered them," Wait told the Journal Sentinel. "I emailed Sheriff Schmaling, asked if he was going to arrest me and he said 'hell no.'''

Even Republicans said Wait should be charged for his actions.

"His actions are sad," state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, one of the officials Wait fraudulently requested absentee ballots for, said in a statement. "If election integrity means anything, it means we all have to follow the law — Republicans and Democrats alike."
