Shakir Khan, a Pakistani immigrant and now-former city councilman from Lodi, California, was arrested in February, 2023 and charged with 14 felonies related to election fraud. RedState covered the news at that time; the original story can be viewed here. Khan pleaded no contest to those charges in January 2024, but recently made a motion to have that plea set aside and is petitioning the court for mental health diversion.
But the details of what Khan allegedly did are even more alarming than what’s stated in this weekend’s viral tweets. This case is a grab bag of every worst-case scenario that can come out of the combination of online voter registration, universal mail ballots, and ballot harvesting.
