Of course, if you watch CNN or listen to Democrats, you know that voter fraud isn’t really a serious problem, our elections are oh-so-safe, and being required to show ID to vote would be akin to widespread oppression of the American people.
Except, thanks to some plucky investigative journalists from the (James) O’Keefe Media Group and Frontlines TPUSA, we can see fraud right in front of our faces on video. It’s happening regularly in LA’s notorious Skid Row, and when confronted over their actions of selling cigarettes, weed, and cash for petition signatures, the fraudsters attacked the OMG team in the wild clip.
Watch:
Skid Row election fraudsters have now turned to violence. Today they attacked myself, @JamesOKeefeIII and his team.

On OMG’s website, O’Keefe described the illicit activities that were occurring in plain sight just blocks from City Hall (emphasis theirs):
James O’Keefe and undercover journalists with O’Keefe Media Group investigated Skid Row in Los Angeles, California while posing as homeless individuals. Hidden camera footage shows petition circulators offering cash, cigarettes, and marijuana in exchange for signatures on California ballot petitions (emphasis his).
On camera, petitioners admitted they are paid $7–$10 per signature, sometimes earning more than $1,000 per day. Meanwhile, many homeless individuals signing the petitions appeared to have no understanding of what they were signing.
One petitioner, Brenda Brown, was recorded handing over cash while distributing voter registration forms.
“We gon’ give you $2.”
“Because you haven’t registered, I need to register you. So I can get paid too. I’M PAYING YOU GUYS, I NEED TO GET PAID TOO.”Paying someone to register to vote or sign a petition is a federal felony under 52 U.S.C. §10307(c), punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. It also violates California Elections Code §18603, which prohibits offering money or anything of value in exchange for petition signatures.

The investigative reporters were not done, however, and Turning Point USA’s Savanah Hernandez also confronted these apparently paid activists. It’s almost funny watching the sunglasses dude explain how the petition he was “trying to convince” people to sign would help clamp down on sexual assault by Uber drivers and would help women.
While that might be a noble idea, it’s clear he has no idea what the petition actually says or what the proposed law would actually do. The people signing his petitions are also equally clueless about what they’re doing.
Just like in OMG’s video, TPUSA’s team is threatened and told to “bleed yo’ feet,” which apparently means, get the hell out of here, or we attack:

For years, petitioners have been targeting the homeless on Skid Row, offering bribes such as cigarettes or cash in exchange for signing petitions that can change California law. They’ve also been registering the homeless to vote, oftentimes instructing them to use fraudulent information.
The videos both show that election fraud is real, it’s happening right in front of our eyes, and apparently, no one cares.
A couple of months ago, I was talking about Skid Row with my wife, and she said, but have you seen it live for yourself? I mumbled something, basically admitting that I had only witnessed slices of it. We promptly hopped in the car and went down there.
To say you know something is far different from actually seeing it, and let me tell you, LA’s Skid Row is hard to fathom. It stinks, the sidewalks are impassable due to sprawling tent cities with people dancing, fornicating, shoving needles in their arms, and relieving themselves in broad daylight with no consequences.
But that’s not what is so appalling. It’s the scope of the area that’s so jaw-dropping — it goes on like this for 50 city blocks. It was worse than any scene in a post-apocalyptic zombie movie.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Bass must be reminded of this atrocity every single day, and shown videos like these on a loop every time they try to tell us the progressive California experiment is working. And as to the Dems who keep insisting voter fraud is a nothingburger, why don’t you go down to DTLA yourself and report back?
I won’t hold my breath.
Editor’s Note: Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and the “progressives” are ruining California.
