hope you check it out and now diving into the main topic according to this new charging document which came out of the New Jersey attorney general's office there has allegedly been some serious election fraud over in the city of Patterson specifically among many other things this document charges the current sitting president of the Patterson city council with running a criminal conspiracy in order to get him self elected to office in fact the State Attorney General he said that Mr Alex Mendes his wife as well as several other members of The Campaign they stole ballots from people's mailboxes they filled them out and then subsequently they mailed in those fake ballots in order to win furthermore Mr Mendes he's been charged with collecting large numbers of mail and ballots destroying the ballots that did not favor him and replacing those ballots with ones that did favor him and the details of this case are wild so let's go through them all together right after you take a super quick moment to smash those like And subscribe buttons which will quite literally Force the YouTube algorithm to share this video as well as this information out to ever more people now to start with here's what the statement from the Attorney General's office said alongside the charging documents quote the defendants are accused of attempting to rig an election in their favor and to deprive the voters of Patterson of having their voices heard the Patterson city council president Alex Mendes has been brought up on new charges in connection with an election fraud case after investigators determined the defendant personally collected ballots and oversaw the fraudulent mailing of ballots while members of his campaign stole ballots from residential mailboxes and discarded several that did not cast a vote for their candidate it is also alleged that defendants tampered with witnesses to avoid prosecution now before we dive into the actual details here I'd like to just quickly mention that as of this very moment right now neither Mr Mendes nor any of his allegic co-conspirators have been found guilty of anything and of course in America everyone no matter who they are is innocent until proven guilty all I'm showing you are the specifics from the Attorney General's office what they found during their investigation and this is the exact evidence that will ultimately be shown in a court of law before a judge you can make up your own mind as to what it all means regardless with that out of the way let's dive into the details Patterson New Jersey located in the northern part of the state is the third largest city by population within New Jersey and in terms of their elections well Patterson has broken up into several different Wars you can see them up on screen for yourself and three years ago back in the year 2020 Mr Alex Mendes was running for a seat in Ward number three however unlike typical election tactics such as knocking on doors debating your opponents and generally trying to win voters over to your cause well the attorney general alleges that Mr Mendes as well as his campaign tried a you can say unique approach quote prior to the May 2020 election while he was a candidate seeking to represent the Third Ward Mendes personally collected a number of mail and ballots from households in that se of Patterson in violation of the vote by male law Mendes and his associates allegedly collected many ballots in the third W over several days now just to pause here for a super quick moment and just for your general reference in this particular election all voting 100% of the voting was done by mail because of the coid pandemic and under New Jersey state law it is allowed for a voter to give their completed ballot to an official ballot Bearer this Bearer must then fill out a certification statement on the ballot envelope before then taking that ballot and giving it to the County Board of Elections but here's the thing even though New Jersey does allow this form of ballot harvesting it is never allowed for an actual candidate in an election to serve as a ballot Bearer in the district for which he's running for office and that rule is in place for very obvious reasons reasons like this right here quote it is alleged that many of the ballots that the campaign collected were not sealed by voters when they were turned over it is further alleged that after the ballots were brought to Mendes's Campaign Headquarters they were examined to see if the ballots were votes for Mendes if the ballot did not select Mendes as the candidate of choice his wife Johan Mendes allegedly would destroy the ballot and replace it with another mail in ballot that did select Mendes for the Council seat now at this point you might be asking yourself how in the world that they get all these blank ballots to make the replacement and the answer to that is simple because the city of Patterson had the bright idea to mail every single person a mail in ballot while the campaign allegedly just drove around and stole those ballots from people's mailboxes quote the investigation found that the blank ballots used as replacement ballots were obtained by stealing ballots out of Voters mailboxes Mendes associate Omar lisma is accused of taking ballots out of mailboxes in specific neighborhoods and apartment buildings in Patterson that were known to have a large number of residents supporting Mendes's main opponent in the election former Patterson councilman William McCoy which technically is a brilliant strategy because you get the blank mail and ballots while the people who are likely to vote for your opponent get nothing they get no Ballance now the way that this alleged scheme was discovered in the first place is actually quite fascinating because you see back in 2020 there were hundreds of Patterson election ballots that were discovered stuffed in the mailbox in a neighboring town the town of haa now this was obviously a red flag which only became redder when about a week after this discovery the lawyer for Alex Mendes's campaign filed a letter with the County Board of Elections urging them urging the board to go ahead and count the hailen ballots however in the course of the investigation what appears to have happened is that one of the alleged collaborators in this whole scheme he flip sides and he decided to cooperate with the attorney general and according to the official Complaint that Insider he alleges that quote Alex Mendes was there as over 300 mail and ballots were placed into the hailen postal box here was specifically how the New Jersey attorney general describ the situation quote it is alleged that on or about May 5th of 2020 Mendes personally observed from his wife's vehicle as a large heavy bag completely filled with ballots was emptied into the hailen postal box prior to the election about one week later Mendes's campaign attorney filed a letter with the paic County Board of Elections urging the board to count the hailen ballots even though Mendes knew they had been unlawfully collected and submitted to the county state law indicates that a person serving as a ballot Bearer can only do so for a maximum of three ballots each or five if the individual is bearing ballots for immediate family members in the same household all right just to pause here for a

actually gets worse for Mr Mendes that's because after this whole scheme came to light the Attorney General wrote that Mr Mendes his wife as well as several of the co-conspirators they were quote captured in an audio recording agreeing to attempt to contact the witnesses against Alex Mendes and to propose a new statement that each witness could give that would be helpful to the defense which would of course be a form of witness tampering it's also worth mentioning that The Insider who flipped he also alleges that Mr Mendes told him to delete any and all Communications regarding what took place and so that is the general situation playing itself out over in the city of Patterson now the individuals indicted face a Litany of charges including Mr Mendes who faces nine charges in total including things like conspiracy voter fraud forgery witness tampering and so on his wife is facing four counts including ballot fraud witness tampering and so on and then you have two more people who are associated with a campaign who are both facing eight charges each all related to the alleged voter fraud scheme in total when you add them all up the alleged conspirators in this particular scheme are facing a total of 29 felony charges and if he's found guilty on all counts Mr Mendes faces upwards of several dozen years behind bars in state prison now for his part Mr Mendes's lawyer has declined to comment on these new charges although it is worth mentioning that previously when these allegations first came to light Mr Mendes denied any wrongdoing and in terms of the next steps well it appears that while the legal process is playing itself out in court Mr Mendes will actually stay on as city council president quote Mendes and the others charged in this case won't appear in court on the new charges until early December with any trials still likely many months away and with council member Mendes staying in office as an accused criminal and so there you have it if you'd like to
