Multiple homeless residents living on Los Angeles’ notorious Skid Row have come forward to confirm earlier reports that they were offered cash and other incentives in exchange for voting for Democrat candidates in California’s elections.
Dozens of homeless people have now come forward saygn they were paid to vote and sign voter registration forms and political petitions, lending further support to reports that have fueled growing concerns about election integrity in California.
The revelations emerged during a new investigation by Fox 11 Los Angeles, which followed the recent guilty plea of petition circulator Brenda Armstrong, who was caught on undercover video allegedly offering money in exchange for signatures.
The latest allegations confirm earlier reporting from Slay News that identified statements from multiple homeless people alleging vote-buying operations on the streets of Los Angeles.
The case has intensified scrutiny over political operations targeting vulnerable homeless populations in Los Angeles and comes as federal authorities pursue multiple election fraud investigations across California.
Homeless Residents Describe Cash Offers for Signatures
Fox 11 reporter Matthew Seedorff interviewed several individuals living on Skid Row, many of whom described a system in which petition circulators routinely offer money, cigarettes, and other incentives in exchange for signatures on voter registrations, ballot initiatives, and political petitions.
“They’re just trying to collect signatures, get paid,” one woman told the station.
“And so in return, they’ll offer you a few bucks.
“And there you go. On your merry way.”
Other homeless residents described similar encounters, saying they were frequently approached by paid signature gatherers.
Several claimed they were handed paperwork that already contained portions of personal information before being asked to sign.
Some individuals noted that they were paid to sign forms that were filled out with other people’s names.
The report found that petition circulators were openly collecting signatures near Los Angeles City Hall as well.
Questions Raised About Homeless Voter Registrations
The investigation also revisited concerns surrounding voter registration practices involving homeless populations.
Fox 11 questioned Los Angeles County election officials regarding reports that one homeless facility with approximately 120 beds had more than 1,100 registered voters associated with the location.
According to the county registrar, homeless individuals are permitted to register to vote using locations where they regularly stay.
The explanation has done little to ease concerns among election integrity advocates, who argue that such practices can make voter rolls difficult to verify and potentially vulnerable to abuse.
