The case, which has drawn significant attention, involved Zapata fraudulently requesting three military absentee ballots under fake names and sending them to a Republican lawmaker known for embracing election conspiracy theories. Her attorney argued that Zapata was pushed by stress over threats and was attempting to highlight perceived gaps in the election system. However, the jury rejected these arguments, convicting Zapata on all counts in a verdict that underscores the legal and political ramifications of election-related fraud.
