The Conservative Political Action Conference reported that it has photographic evidence of illegal “ballot harvesting” in Wisconsin.
CPAC obtained a statement from a witness who reported spotting an individual stuff up to 500 ballots into an unguarded ballot box outside Milwaukee City Hall.
The individual fled once he realized that he was being photographed, the witness said.
Wisconsin law requires that voters personally handle their ballots. It bans the collection, or harvesting, of ballots by others, CPAC said.
The CPAC Foundation said it filed a complaint on Wednesday with the Wisconsin Elections Commission, complete with the witness account.

One of the bags was a drawstring backup. The other bag was a large green bag with a zipper on the top.
The green bag appeared to be full. I would estimate that the green bag could hold between 50 and 500 absentee ballots.
The individual walked up to the drop box and reached into the green bag at least five times to empty the contents of his bag into the dropbox.
While walking away from the dropbox, I watched the individual fold up the now empty green bag and proceed to put it in the drawstring backup.
When the individual realized I was watching and taking pictures, the individual sprinted away.
I have attached four photos of the individual I was able to capture.
As part of CPAC’s efforts to ensure elections are free and fair, CPAC has filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Election Commission (“WEC”) and reported to local law enforcement allegations of potential efforts to commit fraud or corruption in the voting process by an unknown…
