LO council candidate arrested on illegal electioneering charge
Unsuccessful Live Oak city council candidate Cruz Fuentes Mora was arrested July 4 on suspicion of illegal electioneering during the Nov. 2024 election. The 26-year-old Mora was reported to the Sutter County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) by a Sutter County precinct inspector last November. The precinct inspector reported Mora was 'interfering with the election by wearing a campaign shirt and video recording inside the polling place with his cell phone,' the SCSO wrote in a press release on July 7. 'It should be noted that observers shall not display any election material or wear campaign badges, buttons or apparel or intimidate a voter by means of photographing, video recording, or otherwise recording a voter entering or exiting a polling place, or at the central county location,' officials said. A warrant was issued for Mora's arrest. The SCSO said that he was located riding his bike in Live Oak and booked into the Sutter County Jail without incident. He is accused of violating a section of the California Elections Code that restricts activities at polling places on election day. Mora was released after his booking on the misdemeanor charge.
