Does not surprise me - from The Wichita Eagle:
L.A. homeless were paid $1 to forge signatures on California ballot measure petition, cops say
Food. Cigarettes. A dollar bill, or even less.
That’s what Los Angeles Police Officer Deon Joseph says individuals offer homeless people in exchange for forged signatures on California state ballot measures on Skid Row, an area of the city known for its tent encampments, KABC reports.
“It’s been going on for years,” Joseph told the TV station. “They say, ‘Hey, you want to make a quick buck?’”
Last week, Los Angeles police arrested three people on Skid Row on felony election fraud charges after they were caught paying $1 or less to homeless people for forging signatures on a petition to get a measure on the California state ballot, Capt. Marc Reina said in a Tweet on Friday. Reina posted photos showing signature-gathering and the exchange of cash.
“They come in and they target the homeless population because they can get so many,” Reina said in a phone interview, explaining that there are hundreds and hundreds of people living on the streets. “When you see those tables and lines of people down the sidewalks it gets conspicuous, and we’re able to take action.”
The democrats cannot win based on their ideas and platform. They have to cheat.
