California City Council Candidate ARRESTED on Five Felony Counts — Prosecutors Say She Listed a Cocktail Lounge as Her Home

Another election-fraud scandal has erupted in deep-blue California.

Desiree Lynch, a Democrat-aligned candidate for the Stockton City Council, was arrested Wednesday following a public-corruption investigation and charged with five felonies involving alleged perjury, false voter registration, and fraudulent candidate paperwork.

Although Stockton’s municipal elections are officially nonpartisan, Lynch’s campaign has leaned unmistakably to the left.

Her campaign website warns that “fairness, decency, freedom, and justice” are supposedly “under attack at the federal level” — an apparent swipe at President Donald Trump and his administration. Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee also publicly endorsed her campaign.

According to the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office, Lynch allegedly registered to vote and filed to run for the District 5 council seat using addresses where she did not live.

And one of the alleged “home” addresses was a cocktail lounge.

Prosecutors say Lynch used two Stockton addresses to manufacture residency inside District 5:

  • Harry’s Cocktail Lounge at 407 E. Charter Way, also known as East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard; and
  • Doyle Garden Apartments at 625 E. Oak Street.

Investigators determined that Lynch was actually living in Lodi and North Stockton, including an area located in Stockton City Council District 1, not District 5, according to the DA’s office.

The criminal complaint contains three perjury counts under California Penal Code Section 118(a), one count of causing, procuring, or allowing false voter registration under Elections Code Section 18100(a), and one count of filing a false nomination or declaration of candidacy under Elections Code Section 18203.

The alleged offenses span from November 10, 2025, through August 17, 2026.

The charges are:

  • Count 1: Perjury on or about November 10, 2025;
  • Count 2: Perjury on or about February 5, 2026;
  • Count 3: Perjury on or about March 2, 2026;
  • Count 4: Causing, procuring, or allowing false voter registration from approximately November 10, 2025, through August 17, 2026; and
  • Count 5: Filing a false nomination or declaration of candidacy during that same period.

The arrest followed a six-week investigation by the District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigations. The probe began after the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office referred the matter following the June primary election.

Lynch finished second in that primary, receiving 1,054 votes, or 30.59 percent, and advanced to the November runoff against incumbent Councilman Brando Villapudua, who received 1,173 votes, or 34.04 percent.

Clerk Calls On DOJ To Help Get Non-Citizens Off His Voter Rolls After Sec of State Whistleblower Claims MI SOS Benson is Automatically Registering Them To Vote

This evening, Hastings Charter Township Clerk David Olson released a video of himself pleading with the feds to get involved in Michigan’s elections, specifically to help him identify and remove non-citizens from his voter rolls. Mr. Olson is asking for help from the feds after a whistleblower from Jocelyn Benson’s Secretary of State’s office came forward and told Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf that non-citizens are being placed on the voter rolls at the Secretary of State level. Hastings Charter Twp. Clerk David Olson claims there is absolutely no way for local clerks to detect non-citizens placed on their voter rolls by the Secretary of State’s office. Hastings Charter Township is in Barry County, Michigan.

Clerk Olson explained what the whistleblower told the Barry County Sheriff: “When a non-citizen changes their address, programming automatically registers that citizen to vote. When the employee advised the supervisor, the supervisor said ‘That’s okay, because it will be caught downline by the clerks.” Olson challenged the supervisor’s statement, saying, “That is not correct! Once it’s in the qualified voter file, there’s no way for me to verify citizenship!” He continued, “Therefore, they [non-citizens] are automatically issued a ballot or an absentee ballot. So, since it is my responsibility to safeguard the voter rolls in my township, I’m asking if the federal government is interested to help verify my citizen’s [voter] roll?” Clerk Olson appears to welcome the opportunity to have his voter rolls cleared of non-citizens who have no right to vote in our elections. “I would be welcome to have them here,” he said, as he assured the integrity of his voter rolls would not be compromised. Olson explained, “I will safeguard my voter roll in the office but they are certainly welcome to come and compare against mine and this way will uphold law. I will definitely follow mine and it will be fair and honest.” The soft-spoken clerk ended with a simple, “Thank you.

When it comes to investigating and exposing voter fraud in Michigan, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf is arguably the most committed law enforcement official in the state.

AOC and Bernie Sanders Are Still Taking ActBlue Money After an 88-Year-Old Said She Donated $150,000 From a Trailer With No Computer

ActBlue’s own CEO sat before Congress in June and invoked the Fifth Amendment 22 times.

The platform – the financial backbone of every major Democrat campaign in America – just got caught with a new donor who says her name was used for more than 16,000 contributions she didn’t make.

And AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Ilhan Omar are still cashing the checks from ActBlue.

An 88-Year-Old Woman Living in a Trailer Has 16,000 Donations in Her Name

Elizabeth Waffle is 88 years old.

She lives in a trailer down a dirt road in Milan, Michigan, after her house burned down two years ago.

She has no computer.

She has spotty internet service.

Federal Election Commission records say she has made more than 16,000 political contributions totaling nearly $150,000 through ActBlue since 2020.

That’s eight donations a day, every day, for five years straight – averaging $9.18 a pop.

“One hundred and fifty thousand? Hell no, I don’t have that kind of money,” Waffle told reporter Charlie LeDuff of the Michigan Enjoyer in a now-viral video.

She acknowledged making small donations through ActBlue – she disputed the $150,000.

“I don’t see $150,000,” she said. “That’s very abnormal and I think it’s wrong. I think there’s something in there that’s off.”

ActBlue responded by saying it had “zero tolerance for fraud.”

Then it kept processing donations for AOC, Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and the Democratic National Committee.

James O’Keefe Offered Senator Lisa Murkowski’s Brother’s Ballot at Anchorage Polling Station with No ID Required – Murkowski Calls For O’Keefe to be Prosecuted!

James O’Keefe on Thursday released undercover video of an Anchorage, Alaska, poll worker offering him Senator Lisa Murkowski’s brother’s ballot.

Recall that RINO Murkowski was one of the Senators who opposed the SAVE America Act which would require voter ID.

An Anchorage poll worker also offered Lisa Murkowski’s State Director, Karina Waller’s ballot without an ID on Tuesday’s primary.

“I did not check in as Brian Murkowski, cast a ballot, or sign his name. We documented what happened when I gave his name, said I had no ID, and asked whether Brian could still vote,” James O’Keefe said.

“Would it be possible to vote without it [ID]?” O’Keefe asked the poll worker.

“Absolutely possible!” the poll worker said.

BOMBSHELL: Trump Says Census Bureau Analysis Confirms Over 24,000 Noncitizens Voted in 2020 Election as 32 Million Records Remain to be Analyzed: “I WON THE ELECTION!”

President Donald Trump dropped a massive Truth Social bombshell Tuesday, revealing that the U.S. Census Bureau has begun cross-checking 2020 voter records against citizenship data, and the early results are devastating for the stolen election narrative.

In a post that should send shockwaves through the deep state and the corporate media that spent years gaslighting Americans, Trump wrote:

“The Census Bureau has begun checking the Voter Records from 2020 against their Citizenship Records. On the first 128,000,000 Voters, the Census Bureau proves that over 24,000 Noncitizens voted illegally! The Census Bureau is going to analyze the next 32,000,000 Voters, and this number will explode. I WON THE ELECTION! We must pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

According to official U.S. Census Bureau graphics, the preliminary analysis of the 2020 general election shows:

  • 160 million ballots cast
  • 128 million voter records linked to U.S. citizens
  • 24,000+ voter records linked to noncitizens
  • 32 million records that remain to be analyzed

That’s 24,000+ confirmed noncitizen voters on just the first 128 million records. The remaining 32 million have not even been fully processed yet. As Trump correctly noted, that number is only going to explode.

The Census Bureau’s own materials make clear these are not “clerical errors” or “mistaken registrations.” Noncitizen status was determined by the complete absence of any proof of citizenship combined with affirmative federal records proving the individual was a noncitizen:

NO U.S. birth record. NO record of becoming a citizen. NO U.S. passport. NO government citizenship record. NO other proof of citizenship. AND

  • A green-card noncitizen record
  • A visa issued to a noncitizen
  • A foreign-student noncitizen record
  • An enforcement noncitizen record
  • A DACA noncitizen approval
  • A noncitizen code held by an agency
  • A taxpayer ID issued to a noncitizen

In other words: zero evidence of citizenship + multiple federal records confirming noncitizen status = illegal voters who cast ballots in the 2020 election.

Minnesota Election Officials Allow Hamas Members to Vote in Primary Election with ‘Vouching’ System – Without IDs

Josh Rubin of Muckraker.com went undercover as “Muhammad” an various Minneapolis polling stations and confirmed that foreign terror organization members can vote if they are “vouched” for.

“We put Minnesota’s voter “vouching” system to an extreme test by asking if it was okay to vouch for alleged Hamas militants who had recently come to America from the Gaza Strip,” Muckraker said.

The Minnesota poll workers confirmed to Muckraker that members of Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, can vote if vouched for.

“You can vouch for 8 people,” the election worker said, adding “If you’re vouching for [Hamas], they wouldn’t need to show anything.”

Muckraker’s undercover video comes after James O’Keefe dressed as a Muslim and exposed the ‘vouching’ system in Minneapolis.

Minnesota Secretary of State THREATENS James O’Keefe, Cam Higby For Going Undercover in Muslim Garb and Easily Exposing State’s Insane ‘Voter Vouching’ System

Minnesota’s Democrat Secretary of State threatened James O’Keefe and Cam Higby after they went undercover in Muslim garb to expose the state’s insane ‘voter vouching’ system.

“Under Minnesota’s Statutes § 201.061, a registered voter can sign an affidavit affirming that they know another individual resides in the same precinct, allowing that person to register at the polls without presenting standard proof of residence. One registered voter can vouch for up to eight people,” O’Keefe said.

“We wanted to find out what this actually looks like inside a polling place and how far election workers would let us take it,” he said.

O’Keefe was dressed in a ‘thobe’ and Cam Higby wore a black burka as they entered polling stations across Minneapolis.

James O’Keefe used a hilariously awful Middle Eastern accent when he tried to vouch for other voters.

“I have a question about the vouching program, yeah? Vouching? I can vouch for them but they are not registered,” O’Keefe asked the poll workers.

“Yeah, that’s fine,” the poll workers said.

“Ahhh good. Can I bring five more” O’Keefe asked the poll workers.

“Up to eight people,” she said.

“Up to eight? Okay, that’s a good thing,” O’Keefe said.

“If you’re all in the same precinct and you are already registered, you can vouch for them as ID. Eight people,” a poll worker told James O’Keefe.

“You’re the ID,” the election worker told O’Keefe.

“I am the ID!” O’Keefe said.

Illegal Alien Gets 3 Years in Prison for Voting in Elections After Falsely Claiming American Citizenship

An illegal alien was sentenced this week after voting in United States elections by falsely claiming naturalized American citizenship, Department of Justice (DOJ) officials said on Friday.

Carlos Felipe Jaramillo-Grajales, a 55-year-old illegal alien from Colombia, was sentenced to three years in federal prison for making false statements in an application for a U.S. passport, aggravated identity theft, falsely claiming that a Social Security number was his, and falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen to vote in an election.

Likewise, Jaramillo-Grajales was given a deportation order, requiring federal immigration officials to deport him once he has completed his sentence.

“Federal immigration laws serve to safeguard our nation’s borders and protect the integrity of our government,” U.S. Attorney Gregory Kehoe said. “Those who seek to circumvent, exploit, or break these laws will be prosecuted fully.”

According to prosecutors, Jaramillo-Grajales stole the Social Security Number of an American citizen so that he could secure an American passport. The illegal alien used the same Social Security Number to claim American citizenship while obtaining a Florida driver’s license, giving him the ability to register to vote.

Jaramillo-Grajales went on to vote in the 2020 election and several other elections.

“This criminal illegal alien from Colombia has just been sentenced to three years in a federal prison for identity theft and falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin said:

Because of his fraud, he was able to obtain a driver’s license and vote in our elections. Thanks to the hard work of the men and women of [Homeland Security Investigations], along with our federal partners, this criminal is out of our communities and, at the end of his sentence, will be removed from our country. DHS will always fight to protect the integrity of our elections, because election security is national security. Only Americans should be electing American leaders.
[Emphasis added]

Prosecutors said that Jaramillo-Grajales, using the stolen Social Security number, married a foreign national who arrived in the U.S. in September 2003 on a B visitor visa. The woman eventually secured naturalized American citizenship in August 2017 before divorcing the illegal alien in January 2020.

Following his divorce, Jaramillo-Grajales left the U.S. for Colombia using his stolen Social Security number while his ex-wife left for Colombia and applied to secure a fiancé visa for him under his real name.

The fiancé visa was approved for Jaramillo-Grajales, allowing him to fly back to the U.S. under his real name, where he remarried his ex-wife in June 2025 before applying for a green card.

“Human Error”?? Inside Milwaukee County’s Voting System and Why Milwaukee’s USB Explanation Raises Questions

Last night in the Wisconsin Democrat primary, David Crowley defeated Francesca Hong by a little more than 3,200 votes.  This was after late-night drama unfolded in Milwaukee County just before midnight, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

According to a post from Urban Milwaukee co-founder, Jeramey Jannene on X:

“5 of 9 USB drives had audit logs, not actual results, copied to them.  Bipartisan commission will go back to election warehouse, redownload, drive back again.  15k ballots believe to be impacted.  One hour delay.  “Human error” says Paulina Guiterrez.

Wisconsin’s WISN 12 covered the press conference and the remarks from Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director, Paulina Guiterrez.

“As part of the download process, there are two things: there’s the audit log and the results.  What we uncovered was that five of the sticks had the audit log downloaded and not the results.  It’s a human error.  These things can happen.

So basically what we need to do is go back to the operations center and we’re going to download, out of those five machines, the results and make sure that its not the audit log.

We have the reports printed from the first download.  We’re going to reprint and start the process so that we can compare those results.  We invite you to come join us.  Milwaukee Police Department will come with us too.

We’ll re-download those results and then send them back here to be uploaded.

When asked if it was five machines that were an issue, Guiterrez clarified that it was the “sticks” that had the audit logs downloaded, not the results, on 5 out of 9 “sticks.”

HOUSE GOP TURNS UP THE HEAT: Vendor Ordered to Turn Over Records After New Jersey Registered 6,600 Noncitizens — and Hundreds Actually Cast Ballots

House Republicans are demanding answers from the technology contractor at the center of New Jersey’s explosive voter-registration scandal after state officials acknowledged that roughly 6,600 people who identified themselves as noncitizens were nevertheless added to the voter rolls, and approximately 400 of them later cast ballots.

The House Judiciary Committee and the Committee on House Administration sent a formal oversight letter to IDEMIA CEO Matt Cole on Tuesday, seeking documents and communications that could reveal who knew what, when they knew it, and why the problem was not disclosed publicly for two years.

Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Administration Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI), Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), and Elections Subcommittee Chair Laurel Lee (R-FL) signed the three-page demand.
