He also requested an immediate statewide investigation based on an alleged serious threat to voter integrity.<\/p>\n<p>In a posting on social media, the Sheriff\u2019s Office said it was acting in response to citizen complaints that reported \u201capparent vulnerabilities to fraudulent voting within the state\u2019s website MyVote Wisconsin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MyVote Wisconsin is an official online elections administration and information website.<\/p>\n<p>The Sheriff\u2019s Office stated citizens have reported that \u201cWith only a person\u2019s name and date of birth, anyone can request another person\u2019s ballot and have the ballot sent to any address entered. No identification is needed, and the requester can make a declaration of being indefinitely confined, thus, for the current and future elections, the requester will be sent someone else\u2019s ballot at the different address.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indefinite confinement in one\u2019s residence due to health concerns is a valid reason to receive an absentee ballot under Wisconsin law.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Sheriff\u2019s Office, to test the vulnerability of the MyVote system, one complainant had a second party request an absentee ballot for him. The second party requested that the ballot be sent to the second party\u2019s address. The second party received the complainant\u2019s ballot in the mail.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/wisconsin-ballot-count-1200x800-1200x800-1.jpg\"><\/a> Election officials count <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-absentee-ballots\">absentee ballots<\/a> in Milwaukee, Wis. on Nov. 4, 2020.
