The Milwaukee Election Commission's Deputy Director Kimberly Zapata was terminated for what Johnson, a Democrat, called "an egregious, blatant violation of trust."
Johnson said he first learned Wednesday that Zapata requested "fictitious military ballots from a state election website" and had them sent to GOP state Rep. Janel Brandtjen. The state representative then shared a picture of the ballots last week, which apparently had fake names, according to Fox 6 Milwaukee.
Fox News Digital could not immediately reach Brandtjen, who claimed she did not request the ballots in an interview with the Epoch Times, saying, "I believe someone was trying to point out how easy it is to get military ballots."
Military members are exempt from voter ID laws, and city officials believe Zapata was attempting to prove there was a loophole in the election process, Fox 6 reported.
Johnson rejected this and said it "does not matter that this might have been an effort to expose a vulnerability" and noted he will not "accept" or "defend any misrepresentation by a city official involved in elections."
"It does not matter that this alleged crime did not take place at work. It does not matter that City of Milwaukee ballots were not part of this. Nor does it matter that there was no attempt to vote illegally or tamper with election results," Johnson said Thursday on Twitter.
