Stockton City Council candidate Desiree Lynch was arrested on multiple felony counts that allege she filed as a candidate within a district that she did not live in, prosecutors said on Wednesday.
The San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office said she was arrested on five felony counts, including three counts of perjury, causing or allowing false voter registration, and filing a false nomination or declaration of candidacy.
Prosecutors said an investigation determined that Lynch was living in Lodi and North Stockton, which are within District 1 boundaries. Lynch, a mother and a nurse, said she is running for Stockton's District 5 city council seat.
The investigation revealed that she used two fraudulent addresses in Stockton, including listing a room above Harry's Cocktail Lounge on E. Charter Way and Doyle Garden Apartments on E. Oak Street, prosecutors said.
"When she falsified these documents, she deprived the voters in her district of the chance to decide who represents them," said San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas.

They do this garbage all the time. The question is who didn’t get paid to look the other way?

How about arresting the DSA perps for insurrection? Easy peasy.
