Wait faces gag order in fraudulent absentee ballot case

MADISON, Wis. — Harry Wait, the Racine County man who was charged with fraudulently requesting absentee ballots, can no longer talk to the media about his case due to a judge’s order.

The move made sense, according to University of Wisconsin-Madison law professor John Gross, who said the judge has an interest in protecting the jury pool from being tainted by the media coverage.
