Lopez told the Post he paid the $1,263 fine, resolving the case."

Lincoln sued Lopez, claiming he illegally electioneered by hiring a food truck and placing it within 100 feet of a polling place to get voters. A judge ruled in favor of Lopez in 2021, saying he didn't improperly give away tacos to voters on Election Day."
