Texas Democrat Mayoral Candidate Charged With Fraud in Absentee Ballot Scam – By Ellie Bufkin (Townhall) / Oct 8 2020
A candidate for mayor in Carrollton, Texas, just north of Dallas, has been charged with election fraud after allegedly requesting absentee ballots in other people’s names.
Zul Mirza Mohamed was arrested and charged on Thursday after an investigation revealed dozens of ballot requests originated from the same Post Office box which was linked to a nursing home.
The Denton County Sheriff’s Office found the PO box had been rented with fake IDs and those whose names appeared on the requested ballots said they had made no such request to vote through the mail, according to the Washington Times.
The Sheriff’s office subsequently set up surveillance at the PO box, and on Wednesday an individual arrived to collect the ballots that had been fraudulently sent there. After following the suspect, they arrested Mohamed who was in possession of other stolen ballots and the fake IDs used to secure the PO box.
