An Arizona woman has been charged with using her status as a well-known Democratic operative to participate in an alleged ballot-trafficking scheme in the 2020 election that was featured in the film “2000 Mules.”
Guillermina Fuentes, 66, a former mayor of San Luis, Arizona, and a member of the Gadsden Elementary School board, was scheduled to appear before a court Thursday to enter her plea on charges of ballot abuse, conspiracy and forgery, the Associated Press reported. Her co-defendant has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and awaits sentencing.
Ballot abuse is the practice known as “ballot harvesting,” which Arizona made illegal under a 2016 law. The crime is a felony punishable by up to two years in prison and a $150,000 fine.
The charges against Fuentes stemmed from a hidden-camera investigation by Arizona state Senate candidate Gary Snyder and San Luis activist David Lara, whose work was highlighted in “2000 Mules.”
“2000 Mules” is based on a lengthy investigation by True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht, and data analyst and election intelligence expert Gregg Phillips using cellphone location data and surveillance video. As Engelbrecht told WND in a video interview, they uncovered what they describe as a highly coordinated operation in key battleground states carried out by left-wing groups that collected mail-in ballots and paid “mules” to stuff them in unattended drop boxes, typically in the middle of the night.
Jail is an absolute must for her!
