Felony charges have been filed and an arrest warrant issued for a well-known Orange County political activist suspected of committing election and voter registration fraud, the California secretary of State's office announced Wednesday.
Investigators in the agency's election-fraud unit said Nativo V. Lopez, 57, of Santa Ana leased office space in Boyle Heights and registered to vote using that address although he lived with his family in Orange County. They also say Lopez, president of the Mexican American Political Assn., cast an illegal ballot in L.A. in the 2008 presidential primary.
There are a few more veteranos who they should investigate, si, Alfredo?

Am sad to say that I know this man. I do not condone unlawful acts, and will await a court decision in this case before having an opinion.
But I also knew politicians who registered to vote using empty storefront or homes of friends or relatives while living elsewhere.
They were sometimes elected, but none, to my knowlege were ever arrested on voter registration fraud charges.
