ballots in the 2020 primary election pleaded guilty Thursday in an agreement
with state prosecutors that saw the more serious forgery and conspiracy
charges dismissed and limited any potential for a lengthy prison sentence.
Guillermina Fuentes, 66, could get probation for running what Arizona
attorney general’s office investigators said was a sophisticated operation
using her status as a well-known Democratic operative in the border city of
San Luis to persuade voters to let her gather and in some cases fill out
their ballots.
Prosecutors were apparently unable to prove the most serious charges,
dropping three felony counts alleging that Fuentes filled out one voter’s
ballot and forged signatures on some of the four ballots she illegally
returned for people who were not family members. |
