More Voter Fraud Discovered In Fond du lac County

Another person has been charged with election fraud in Fond du Lac County.
Edward Malnar has been charged with Felony Election Fraud and Obstructing an Officer for allegations of multiple voting in the November 3, 2020 election.
Fond du Lac County District Attorney Eric Toney says “We must ensure every ballot is treated and counted the same across Wisconsin with a level playing field for all. When someone violates election laws it diminishes the votes of everyone else following the law.”
The Wisconsin Election Commission sent the criminal referral to the District Attorney’s Office in April of 2021, after discovering the multiple votes through their use of the Election Registration Information Center.
Upon receiving the referral, the matter was referred to the City of Fond du Lac Police Department for an investigation.
As a result of that investigation the defendant has been charged with casting a vote in Wisconsin and Michigan for the November 2020 election which is a Class I Felony in Wisconsin.
If convicted, Malnar faces a maximum prison sentence of 4 years and 3 months.
According to the criminal complaint, Malnar requested Absentee ballots in Wisconsin and Michigan and returned each of the Absentee ballots on 10/20/2020 and 10/7/2020, respectively. Malnar also voted in person in Wisconsin on 11/03/2020 in Fond du Lac according to the documents forwarded by the Wisconsin Election Commission.
Malnar is now the third person to be tried in Fond du Lac County for voter fraud in the 2020 election. One defendant illegally registered their voting location with a Fond du Lac County PO Box and then voted in Fond du Lac County, despite not living here. The other defendant illegally voted while serving a felony prison sentence.
