The criminal conspiracy was done to get himself elected in 2020, according to the state attorney general, who said that Mendez, his wife and two campaign supporters stole mail-in ballots from residents’ mailboxes, filled some out, and then tried to mail in fakes in an effort to win
What to Know
1) Paterson Council Speaker Alex Mendez allegedly stole mail-in ballots along with his wife and two campaign supporters to rig the 2020 election — new allegations that are far broader and more serious than when Mendez was first charged with election fraud in 2021

3) Investigators said that in all, hundreds of ballots were stolen, falsified or improperly delivered during the pandemic, when mail-in ballots was how votes were cast
The city council president of New Jersey’s third-largest city personally directed an election fraud scheme to help win his seat, according to the state attorney general.
Paterson Council Speaker Alex Mendez allegedly stole mail-in ballots along with his wife and two campaign supporters to rig the 2020 election — new allegations that are far broader and more serious than when Mendez was first charged with election fraud in 2021.
The criminal conspiracy was done to get himself elected in 2020, according to the state attorney general, who said that Mendez, his wife and two campaign supporters stole mail-in ballots from residents’ mailboxes, filled some out, and then tried to mail in fakes in an effort to win.
Mendez and others tried “to rig an election in their favor and to deprive the voters of Paterson of having their voices heard,” Attorney General Matthew Platkin said.
Investigators said that in all, hundreds of ballots were stolen, falsified or improperly delivered during the pandemic, when mail-in ballots was how votes were cast.
The charges include conspiracy to commit election fraud, forgery, falsifying records and witness tampering.
“In a case like this, with allegations as strong as they are, it certainly can undermine the public trust,” said former federal prosecutor David Miller, who added that some of the counts can carry up to 5 to 10 years in state prison.
NBC New York first reported in 2020 on how hundreds of Paterson ballots were discovered stuffed in a mailbox in the nearby town of Haledon.
It appears one insider in the alleged scheme flipped on Mendez. According to the complaint, the insider alleged Mendez was there as “over 300 mail-in ballots” were placed “into the Haledon postal box.”
Prosecutors said Mendez is on “an audio recording discussing a false story to tell if any person questioned him about the Haledon ballots,” and that Mendez allegedly talked about “personally completed a false voter registration.” Prosecutors also claim Mendez later directed others to “delete communications” about the voting fraud scheme.
“The courts and the prosecutors take allegations of witness tampering and obstruction very seriously,” Miller said.
Mendez has previously denied any wrongdoing and has said he plans to run for re-election in May. Another councilmember, Michael Jackson, was also previously charged with election fraud in the 2020 election. Jackson too denies wrongdoing.
Mendez and the others charged in this case won’t appear in court on the new charges until early December, with any trial still likely many months away, and with Councilmembers Mendez and Jackson staying in office as accused criminals.
Mendez’s attorney declined to comment. Mendez has previously denied any wrongdoing and indicated he planned to still seek re-election.
The mayor and the attorney general’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
But CNN told me ballot-stuffing was a conspiracy theory.
Another isolated incident.
Ironically, no party affiliation seems to be mentioned.
I guess Paterson Council Speaker Alex Mendez is an independent.
The whole drop box ballot-stuffing thing was going great for the Demos until they started using it to screw each other.
Now all of a sudden it’s a problem.
It was a mostly peaceful election theft.
Bigfoot authenticity here. Election fraud never happened. The federal courts have dug in mighty hard to prove that point. This is obviously Russian disinformation.
Yeah, I heard CNN say that. I wonder if they will retract their story. They have been spreading MIS INFORMATION.
DUH!
It seems NJ is a pos state full of corrupt politicians? I absolutely believe that Christian heritage and culture while not 100% perfect does lead to more community ethics. Some of these places were born and bred without ethics.
He probably thought it was OK in New Jersey . . . kind of like looking the other way when an established veteran like Don Sutton or Gaylord Perry scuffs the baseball.
So, this guy falsified the 2020 election.
Which means that the presidential ballots in New York were fraudulent.
This means that the 2020 presidential election is compromised.
Biden is a false president (not capitalized on purpose)...
NO EVIDENCE!!!
But why now? The democrats will steal everything they have to to keep this child sniffing chomo president. But after criminalizing ANY questioning of the “safest and most secure election in history” why would any election anywhere be questioned.
OR JUST MAYBE, the DOJ and democrats are preparing to declare anywhere they lose invalid and arrest anyone involved with the republican campaign. Even better. Now with two months of early voting they can pre-emptively arrest their political opponents for fabricated ballot fraud.
Mendez, Menendez... “At this point, what difference does it make?”
Until they start going TO JAIL for this, expect more of the same in every election.
I’m suspicious of the sudden reporting on election fraud and it being investigated by prosecutors. What is going on? What are they up to? Is this a precursor to requesting changes in how we cast our ballots next November? Something with a new way of cheating? I do not trust them. Not at all. Something is up!
