A Wisconsin man on probation following his sixth felony impaired-driving conviction voted illegally in last November’s election, according to reports.
Donald Holz, 63, has been charged with committing election fraud, FOX 6 of Milwaukee reported.

Eric Toney, district attorney for Fond du Lac County, released the following statement on the matter:
"This prosecution is not suggestive that the election was stolen but elections are the cornerstone of our democracy and the integrity of our electoral process must be protected at every turn. We will continue to prosecute any circumstances of voter fraud, as allowed by law, in order to safeguard our electoral process and ensure the public has confidence in our elections. The defendant is presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty."
