(KTLA) – Investigators found no evidence that the California man who was found passed out in a car with hundreds of recall election ballots planned to participate in election fraud, police said Tuesday.
The man, 34-year-old Eduardo Mena, of Hawthorne, was arrested on Aug. 16, 2021 after he was spotted in a vehicle parked in the lot of a 7-Eleven convenience store.
Inside the car, police found about 300 ballots, a loaded firearm, methamphetamine, thousands of pieces of mail, multiple California drivers licenses and credit cards in other people’s names, authorities said.
He was indicted on charges of bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, possession of stolen mail and being a felon in possession of ammunition, according to police.
No evidence of election fraud by man found passed out with 300 recall ballots: police
I guess he is just a collector of ballots or planned to sell them in Ebay as souvenirs. I went looking in California Law and I did not see anything against you having on your person a shitload of ballots or even theft. I hope I am wrong, but I suspect I am dead on target.
Why would anybody vote in California? Your vote does not matter if a Meth-head is carrying around 300 ballots for reasons unknow, but you suspect it ain’t for toilet paper.
Nope, nothing suspicious there at all. Move along.
Were the ballots filled out? 300 votes for Gabbin’ Nuisance? Were they blank?
Somehow, I think if they were filled out for Larry Elder the story would be handled completely differently.
Well, to be fair, he had thousands of pieces of stolen mail in his possession. So, did he steal a bunch of mail hoping to get some swag (credit cards, etc.) and just happened to snag 300 ballets in the process since they were mixed in with the other mail? Or were the ballots separated and compiled and filed out? One would be evidence of voter fraud, the other just a fact of his mail theft.
Oh, and a felon in possession of a firearm? Excuse me, ammo. Wait, what? Having the gun is fine, but we going charge you with possession of ammo? And good job there with all the gun control laws that didn’t stop a felon from getting one anyway. Wow.
“In other news, a man passed out in his car next to Bank Of America wearing a ski mask and latex gloves, with a note demanding money, a pillowcase stained with bait-money dye, and a loaded pistol was released without charges, because prosecutors could find no evidence he was intending to rob the bank, despite matching the description of a man who has robbed 37 other banks in the last two weeks…”
This isn’t a Califonia problem.
It’s a Michigan problem, a Wisconsin problem, a Pennsylvania problem, a Georgia problem, an Arizona problem,…and as a result, an America problem.
It’s going to end up against bullet-riddled walls and at the base of corpse-decorated light poles and overpasses, and no other way.
Want to stop Democrat vote cheating?
Fight fire with fire. Republicans needcto step up and cheat even harder. make the vote results sooooo ridiculous, everyone needs to admit the elections are stolen. Things like 100 million votes “cast” in a state wide election.
1. It will wake up the apathetic.
2. the Democrats will realize there is a downside to their cheating and the sane will stop.
Or simply start hanging every vote cheater you can find, within days of charges filed.
IMHO, the Venn diagram of “democrats” and “sane”, is other than a circle.

He’s a mail thief
