The Democrat former mayor of San Luis, Arizona, who pleaded guilty to ballot abuse, is hoping for leniency in sentencing.
Guillermina Fuentes pleaded guilty in June to a single count of ballot abuse and admitted collecting several early voting ballots during the 2020 election, Fox News reported Friday.

“According to prosecutors, Fuentes used her status as a powerful local Democrat operative to run a ballot harvesting scheme that collected ballots from voters in Arizona’s August 2020 primary election,” Breitbart News reported in June.
“Prosecutors accused Fuentes of collecting and filling out ballots from voters as part of the scheme. In some cases, prosecutors allege that Fuentes paid voters to let her collect their ballots,” the outlet said.
After Juarez’s guilty plea, she made an agreement with prosecutors in exchange for a probation term.
Now, prosecutors want Yuma County Superior Court Judge Roger Nelson to sentence Fuentes to one year but her lawyers do not agree, and one claimed the other allegations against her were false.
Meanwhile, Assistant Attorney General Todd Lawson said the two women were caught on video outside a voting center while they looked at four ballots.

Fuentes is a member of the Gadsden Elementary School Board. However, she will lose that position as a result of the guilty plea, Breitbart News reported July 15.

Leniency? Where’s the rope?!
Nope....gotta be false info. The Leftwing media has assured us there was no ballot harvesting or other illegal activities.
I’m sure that some people will claim “without evidence” that this happened more than just this one time. Such disinformation is surely a threat to “our democracy”.
Buyin votrs, how truly old school.
Since there is no way she acted on her own, this agreement involved securing her detailed testimony against state-level Democrat officials like Katie Hobbs and Adrian Fontes, right? Right...?
Don't know.
I live in Yuma.
Supposedly, the Sheriff is investigating dozens of others...
They have been pretty tight-lipped about it.
But I thought there was no such thing as vote fraud(?)
She looks like she did a 100yd dash, face first in a 50yd gym.
I agree. What she did has major effects on the rest of us. By her actions she is saying ‘Screw the rights of those who don’t agree with me’. That’s every bit as aggressive as if she threw a rock at my head.
Their defense could be “Hey but it is legal in California”.🙄
Criminals often have that look.
Brings to mind the J6 patriots now sitting in a jail cell to be made an example of.
This vote fraud puke mayor deserves worse, much much worse in order to make an example of him.
Nope....gotta be false info. The Leftwing media (and Fox News) has assured us there was no ballot harvesting or other illegal activities.Give credit where credit is due.
Another case of yesterday’s “Unfounded right-wing Conspiracy Theory!” to today’s “Proven fact and conviction for vote fraud”?
They got it on video and have showed it in the local news. She got busted cold.
OK; they caught one, how many others got away with it?
Any form of vote fraud should be a capital crime. Tack that sow to a barn wall and let her dry out in the sun.
