Now facing up to 13 years behind bars for actions he has admitted to, Racine resident Henry Wait insists he has few 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.” 

Wait, the leader of a local conservative group that has argued the 2020 presidential election was riddled with fraud, told reporters about his scheme to illegally request absentee ballots in order to prove vulnerabilities within the system.

Earlier this year, Wait maneuvered to get his hands on extra absentee ballots for Racine Mayor Cory Mason and Speaker Robin Vos.  

He now faces two counts each of election fraud and using someone’s personal information to commit fraud. In all, investigators have accused Wait and other group members of attempting to obtain eight ballots, all but two of which were ultimately denied.

Even as he remained free and was not immediately taken into custody, Wait has freely admitted to his crimes and expressed a willingness to be taken into custody in hopes of furthering his cause.

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