Homeless Addicts in L.A.: They Paid Us to Vote

To be honest, I wouldn’t trust any one of these drug addicts to tell me the truth, but when the numbers start piling up and there is video evidence of people bribing homeless people to commit fraud on petitions by paying them to sign other people’s names, it’s obvious that election fraud is a thing in California. 

This is almost boring information for anyone who is paying attention. Raman failed to win her own district but has done exceedingly well in extremely poor districts with extremely high rates of homelessness. https://t.co/WnFFCUxTCn

The New York/California Post went to Skid Row in Los Angeles to ask homeless people whether they voted and for whom, and it sounds like Democratic campaigns were out there collecting votes by paying homeless people to mark their ballots for their preferred candidate.

It wasn’t just Nithya Raman; it was for Karen Bass, too. We shouldn’t presume that the candidates’ campaigns themselves did this, because there are so many layers of deniability available given the various NGOs that get billions of dollars to “serve” the homeless. But, unsurprisingly, there are activists out there paying people to vote, and the votes come really cheap. $2. $5. 

Do they dicker?

A series of shocking videos show homeless residents on Los Angeles’ Skid Row claiming they were paid to vote for Mayor Karen Bass and councilwoman Nithya Raman.

The California Post obtained copies of the videos after they were published Tuesday on the TikTok account LaneNeedsSpencerPratt.

The footage, recorded near 7th Street and Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, has since been provided to the Department of Justice. It also follows The Post’s revelations that thousands of homeless voters were registered to shelters where they didn’t live.

One shelter in Venice, where 185 Raman voters were registered, received $600,000 from taxpayers care of the socialist Raman.

In one of the clips, a man who calls himself Kevin Shepherd, claimed he received $4 to vote for Bass.

Tracking down and verifying every claim would be almost impossible. These people are homeless, after all, and I doubt that anybody was particularly careful to ensure that the ballot cast by the paid person matched the identity of the person marking it. No doubt that would be difficult to ensure.

We do have evidence that NGOs sent out ballot harvesters to go door-to-door to collect ballots and had residents who were not homeless allow them to fill out their ballots, because we have the actual instructions posted online for the harvesters to use. 

I’ve come to realize that widespread voting by mail enables communists who hate me to effectively vote on behalf of the illiterate, the infirm, the easily led, and the non-English speaking

There is no plausible way to prevent this, therefore voting by mail must be abolished https://t.co/EGyM2a7HdA pic.twitter.com/lNkwvxas7a

So it’s pretty obvious that sending people out to collect and cast votes is common practice in California. Paying people on the street to do so at a few dollars a pop is hardly a stretch. 

When asked whether he would also have been paid to vote for Raman, Shepherd answered ”yes” and said Spencer Pratt was not among the candidates he was encouraged to support.

“They gave you an optional choice,” Shepherd claimed, alleging the was offered $2 but negotiated for a higher payment and ultimately received $4.

Shepherd further claimed he completed a mail-in ballot for Bass and deposited it in a ballot box.

Skid Row resident, Rene Johnson, 39, also claimed she received $5 after being told to vote for Bass.

Johnson said she supported Bass, but told the creator she was still unclear about some of the forms she had completed.

“But, you know, at the time, I didn’t know that that was going on,” she said.

We also know that people are paid to register to vote and have their ballots sent to NGOs. Signature harvesters instruct people to commit fraud right on camera, which is how the DOJ got this woman.

These NGOs are flooded with government money, which of course comes from the very candidates who then benefit from the votes that stem from these shady and often illegal tactics. What’s even more shocking is that some of these tactics are actually legal in California. If, instead of paying a homeless addict to vote or register to vote at your address, you hand them the crack pipe and needles the government pays for and request they fill out a ballot, that is probably legal. 

It would be hilarious if it weren’t so serious that we allow ‘the homeless’ to vote in mayoral elections. They are actively making life worse every day for normal tax paying citizens – and they get to pay someone like Nithya Raman so they can keep doing it. https://t.co/vQH7pUyk7Q

After all, you were providing a government-approved service. What could be wrong with encouraging people to vote, right? Every vote counts!

As appalling as paying people zoned out on drugs you provided appears, it’s hardly more appalling than the legal practices allowed in California. It’s barely different, in fact. If, instead of money, you handed out an apple and Cheetos paid for by government grants, you’d be a hero, saving democracy!

Leftists often say to Republicans who complain that they should just harvest ballots as well, since it’s legal! There are so many things wrong with that, but there is one fact they leave out: Republicans don’t have a ready-made pool of people they control to harvest votes from, as Democrats do. 

Not only is vote harvesting immoral, but it would be nearly impossible, anyway. Democrats have the homeless and people depending on government benefits, who interact with NGOs regularly. 

We have people who work for a living and don’t sell their votes. 

Editor’s Note: The Democrats are doing everything in their power to undermine the integrity of our elections.
