Milwaukee, WI - On Wednesday, former Milwaukee County Supervisor Peggy Ann West, 48, was sentenced by Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Michelle A. Havas to 2-years probation, got a $2,500 fine, must do 50 hours of community service and pay for DNA registration for one felony count of election fraud, according to Milwaukee County Court records. West pleaded guilty under a plea agreement to election fraud on August 8th.
West was criminally charged after allegations were filed with the Milwaukee County Election Commission by then Milwaukee County Supervisor candidate Sylvia Ortiz-Velez for the 12th District who defeated West in the 2018 election.
Milwaukee police investigators found that West falsify multiple nomination papers by signing that she circulated the papers when in fact she did not and forged signatures of electors were discovered including signing that she circulated a nomination paper that resulted in fake addresses and names of electors who did not live at those addresses. West also forged her daughter's signature as one of the circulators when in fact her daughter told police investigators that it wasn't her signature and she recognized her mother's handwriting in forging her name on the nomination paper.
