The California Secretary of State has alleged that the tireless advocate for Latino, worker and immigrant rights registered to vote in the city of Boyle Heights back in 2006 despite having been a resident of Orange County at the time. In all, Lopez faces four charges including fraudulent registration, fraudulent voting, document fraud and perjury. If convicted of the felonies, the National Director of Hermandad Mexicana Latinoamericana and President of the Mexican American Political Association could face up to three years in prison. Following the publicized arrest of another Latino activist, Alex Sanchez of Homies Unidos, Lopez states in a recent article in La Opinion, that the charges he now faces are baseless. This isn\u2019t the first time allegations of electoral wrongdoing have been levied against the activist. In 1997, Lopez was accused, but never charged with registering undocumented immigrants to vote. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Nativo Lopez, National Director of Hermandad Mexicana Latinoamericana, President of the Mexican American Political Association<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit<a href=\"http:\/\/ www.mapa.org\"> www.mapa.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program Longtime Southern California activist and frequent Uprising guest Nativo Lopez was brought up on charges last Wednesday of electoral fraud.
