COMPTON, Calif. – The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office has dropped the ball an ongoing legal matter related to alleged election fraud in the Compton 2021 election.
Former Compton Councilman Isaac Galvan was alleged to have participated in election fraud to win re-election to his District 2 council seat in June 2021.
In August 2021, the DA’s office announced charges against Galvan and five others who voted for Galvan despite not being Compton residents.
“Elections are the cornerstone of our democratic nation. We must do everything in our power to protect the integrity of the electorate process and to ensure that elections are free and fair,” District Attorney Gascón said. “The people of Los Angeles County expect and deserve a government that is free of political corruption at every level.”
However, there has been no movement by the DA’s office to conclude the trial when a scheduled August 2022 court date was continued after the courthouse had no available courtrooms.
Galvan was removed from office in May in a civil case filed by his opponent Andre Spicer.
The removal appeared “rushed” in order to ensure Galvan’s removal in favor of Spicer who was immediately sworn in days later.
Compton residents found the situation to be a case of deja vu when the same attorney who intervened in a previous Compton election was retained by Spicer in the civil matter.
If Galvan weren’t removed in the civil case he would still be on the city council. If convicted, he would have been allowed to remain on the council unless action was taken by the council to remove him.
We have reached out to the DA’s office who confirmed the matter is continued until Dec. 2.

Galvan still should be on the council. Spicer is just another yes vote for the council. He also has many problems of his own like domestic abouse charges and also the selling of eatable that he posted on facebook.
And Galvan is a meth head, I know someone who works at Domino’s & delivered pizza to him more than once & he was spun TF out, this dude is bad, bad news!!!!! Not to mention his kids uncle is now dead because his buddy shot him. Yep, real outstanding citizen right???!!! Plus this fool has rigged every single election he has been involved in.
