A conservative activist in Wisconsin whose organization pushed President Donald Trump’s 2020 election claims was convicted Tuesday night of election fraud ― and said he would do it again. “When you poke the bear you get that type of outcome, yes. I would do it again,” 71-year-old Harry Wait told local news station WTMJ-TV, adding that he “tested the system” and “the system failed.”
Wait’s conviction comes years after he requested absentee ballots in 2022 for Republican state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Democratic Racine Mayor Cory Mason to be sent to his own address, according to a criminal complaint reviewed by local news station WISN. He had used the politicians’ personal identification information without their consent.
The activist, who co-founded HOT Government, an organization aimed for government transparency, claimed he requested the ballots in order to prove how vulnerable the MyVote system was.
Since his initial arrest, Wait has become an icon within his circle, as supporters wear “Free Harry” T-shirts and military-style dog tags with Wait’s name at rallies, according to The Washington Post. Liberal watchdog group American Oversight described Wait’s organization as one that promotes “fringe theories” about the 2020 election. In 2022, a Wisconsin judge found there was “absolutely no evidence of election fraud” into the 2020 presidential election.
