After the verdict, Wait told NBC affiliate WTMJ of Milwaukee that he “would do it again.”
“I tested the system and the system failed,” he said.
He got caught, so I don’t think the system failed?
Conservative accusations:
cue Gomer Pyle…
His efforts drew praise from Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson in 2022, who called Wait a “white hat hacker.”
This is textbook black hat. White hat hackers are usually pen testers hired by the company in question. Black hat does it to seek some kind of gain or do some kind of harm. The goal here was obvious, especially since he literally stated a “black hat” goal.
His conviction comes after a jury in 2024 found a former Milwaukee election official guilty of misconduct in office after she obtained three military absentee ballots using fake names and Social Security numbers in 2022. Like Wait, Kimberly Zapata argued that she was trying to expose vulnerabilities in the state’s election system
And I was testing the system when I stole all that jewelery at the store, officer! See? Clearly the system failed.
It’s sad that some people definitely believe this.
I mean the term for what he was claiming to do is gray hat but a good rant is a good rant.
Unfortunately he will be pardon before the gavel hit the table.
Can he be? The article seems to be implying it’s a state crime, so Trump would be unable to pardon him. I don’t actually know if it’s state or federal though.
Almost everything election-related is a state crime.
You’d think these clowns would be marginally competent if trying to pull this off.
He said he was testing it. So I think his intention wasn’t to hide it
Smart people do not become criminals.

The law is not sacred, and there are plenty of reasons to break it.
Or dont get caught.
I have time behind bars that proves otherwise.
Correct. They make corporations to get away with it.
It’s Always Projection™
Good Old Projection
With conservatives, every accusation is a confession
I had to check, anyone else want to guess the Political affiliation of this individual?
Yep you guessed it: Harry Wait, a conservative activist. Every fricken time.
a political activist is almost always a conservative, trying obfuscate as something progressive when its not.
Name checks out. Definitely should have waited.
