As The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s office in California help a news conference 2023 on illegal voting in their California community.
The San Joaquin Sheriff’s Office found 41 sealed, completed, mail-in ballots in the home of Lodi City Council member Shakir Khan. There were a total of 71 voter registrations tied to his address, phone, or email.
Khan targeted members of the local Pakistani immigrant community (including elderly individuals unfamiliar with U.S. voting processes), pressuring them, forging signatures, filling out ballots, and submitting fraudulent registrations.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Captain told reporters at the time that voting records revealed people outside of the country, in Pakistan, were allowed to vote in the California elections.
The Sheriff’s Captain revealed this during a press conference in September 2025.
Sheriff’s Captain: “The way the voting system is structured, we see quite a few flaws. You’re able to register and cast a vote if you don’t live in the country as evidence of his brother in Pakistan.
I think we have some evidence of two or three other people out of the country that are voted? Is that correct? Yeah, approximately two or three other people out of the country, as well as people residing outside of the district.
The online voter registration system, it seems to be an honor system. Anybody can put information in there to register to vote. All you have to do is click a box and say that you’re not lying, and then you’ll get an email from the Secretary of State or something in the mail saying, Thank you for registering to vote. And there you are. Once you’re on the voter rolls, anytime an election comes around, guess what? You get mailed a ballot, right? You get mailed something to vote. So we found that a little bit problematic.
