Paterson Councilman Alex Mendez Cleared After Judge Dismisses Voter Fraud Case

Paterson just got a major legal shakeup.

A judge has dismissed all charges against Alex Mendez, ending a high-profile voter fraud case that had been ongoing for years.

The case put Mendez at the center of one of the most closely watched political controversies in the city.

Now, it’s over in court.

The charges were dismissed following legal and procedural challenges in the case.

Mendez confirmed the decision publicly after leaving court.

“Thank God, the Almighty. I’m very excited. I want to thank God, my lawyer, and my team. From 2020, when they accused me, I knew I was innocent. They did this to hurt me because I’ve been a threat for many years,” he said.

This development could have a significant impact on Paterson politics moving forward.

More updates as they come in.
