A Compton city councilman and five others have been charged with election fraud stemming from a June runoff that led to the councilman winning by one vote.

Councilman Isaac Galvan won his seat when he defeated candidate Andre Spicer 855 to 854. It was later alleged that Galvan conspired with others to steal the election.
