Guillermina Fuentes pleads guilty in the Yuma County ballot-collection case

Guillermina Fuentes pleaded guilty to one felony count of ballot abuse tied to the August 2020 primary election in San Luis, Arizona. The Arizona Attorney General Office said Fuentes admitted collecting early ballots from people who were not family members, household members, or people in her care, then giving the ballots to Alma Juarez. The case became a national talking point for election-fraud activists, but the record tied it to a local primary and a state ballot-collection law.
