NBC New York has more:
Mendez and his wife face new charges in the 20-count superseding indictment including attempts to tamper with a witness to the alleged ballot stuffing scheme.
Mendez has served on the council for nearly five years – including being re-elected in 2024 – since he was accused of stealing mail-in ballots with numerous co-conspirators in the run-up to the 2020 election. The New Jersey State Attorney General’s office alleged Mendez and several co-conspirators stole mail-in ballots, falsified them, and then stuffed hundreds of them in a mailbox in Haledon to try to win the election.
In some cases, prosecutors said ballots collected by Mendez’s campaign aides were opened, and if the votes were not for him, they were destroyed and the vote was changed using blank mail-in ballots stolen from neighborhood mailboxes.
New Jersey Attorney General Platkin released this statement pertaining to the new indictments:
“As alleged, this case is not simply about a city council seat. The people’s right to vote and to have their voices heard was subverted by what we allege to be an unlawful conspiracy,” said Attorney General Platkin. “This was unfair to the voters of Paterson. It was, as the grand jury charged, fraud and theft.”
Why is it always Democrats?
Also, notice how Mendez (allegedly) took advantage of New Jersey’s mail-in voting system to rig the election in his favor.
That would have been a lot harder to do if all of the voting was done in-person.
Maybe it’s time to get rid of mail-in voting.
Get rid of the easy paths to cheating, and hold cheaters accountable — to the fullest extent of the law.
