Man Committed Voter Fraud To Fulfill Dying Wife's Obama Wish

MADISON, Wis. — A man said Wednesday that he voted in his late wife's name in November to fulfill her dying wish to cast a ballot for Barack Obama.

Stephen Wroblewski, 64, of Milwaukee, said he plans to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of making a false statement to obtain an absentee ballot.

His wife, Jacqueline Wroblewski, was a veteran Democratic activist and former poll worker who died of lung cancer in August. Her husband of 25 years said he cast an absentee ballot in her name and also voted under his own name.

"She was such a Democrat and saw there was finally going to be a new administration. She really wanted to live long enough to vote," Wroblewski said Wednesday in a phone interview. "But I still don't know why I did it. A grief counselor told me it was just a matter of keeping her close to me and not letting go."

The absentee ballot was not counted. A volunteer poll worker who was processing absentee ballots in Milwaukee the night of the election happened to be a family friend.

"Out of 35,000 ballots, she pulls that one and blurts out that she knew my wife and that she was dead," Wroblewski said.

He added that his wife would have been appalled about what he did because she "was a stickler for the rules."

Wroblewski was charged last month; a copy of the complaint was released Wednesday. He is set to appear in court next month.
