Racine Sun

A Racine man now facing criminal charges related to his scheme to illegally request absentee ballots to prove vulnerabilities within the system insists he holds no regrets.

“I’m glad I did it,” Henry Wait recently told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, quoted by Yahoo. “I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

Earlier this year, Wait got his hands on extra absentee ballots for Racine Mayor Cory Mason and Speaker Robin Vos; the Yahoo report said. Wait is the leader of a local conservative group that has argued the 2020 presidential election was fraught with fraud.

Wait now faces at least two counts each of election fraud and using someone’s personal information to commit fraud. In all, investigators accuse him and other group members of attempting to obtain eight ballots, with all but two of them ultimately being refused.

Now facing up to 13 years behind bars, Wait continues to freely admit to his crimes and stand behind his actions. While not immediately taken into custody, he has been more than willing to be taken into custody.

President Joe Biden topped former President Donald Trump by almost 21,000 votes; with recounts financed by Trump, nonpartisan state audits and a study by a conservative legal firm having all now confirmed the results along with adding that they did not find widespread voter fraud.
