It's About to Go Down: FBI Descends on LA Skid Row Over Potential Voter Fraud/Bribery of Homeless
By Jennifer Oliver O'ConnellDays after the June 2 California primary election, it was announced that a large mail-in ballot dump from Los Angeles Skid Row favored District 4 Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman. It was not long before Raman suddenly pulled ahead and overtook viral candidate Spencer Pratt for the Top 2 slot, edging him into third place and out of the running.
The legacy media did what they do: parrot and cover up. However, the L.A. voters who supported Pratt (and some who did not) clamored for a real investigation into this suspicious and mathematically impossible occurrence.
As @BoredElonMusk & the data show, Raman’s late mail in ballot surge was fueled in large part by ballots from Skid Row.

Tens of thousands of homeless whose ballots are sent to central addresses (not the sidewalk) & can be filled out/returned by someone else.

As my colleague Ward Clark reported:
The Los Angeles mayor's race may not be as dire for Republicans backing Spencer Pratt as we thought. The "democratic socialist" (read that as 'Commie') candidate who recently surpassed him for the coveted second-place slot on the general election ballot, Nithya Raman, appears to have connections to some homeless voters, and it sure looks like there were some pretty egregious shenanigans going on.
Despite the nattering nabobs of negativity claiming nothing would happen, on Thursday, that serious investigation appears to have kicked off.
Oh, it's on, and may well impact the counting still going on in California.
Federal officers descended on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles Thursday morning as part of a stunning investigation into voter fraud following LA’s mayoral election.
About 20 agents swooped in on the notoriously blighted area after homeless people living there claimed they’d been paid cash to sign multiple registration forms, forge signatures and fill out voter information ahead of the mayor’s race and governor primaries.
On June 12, the California Post uncovered the homeless population in L.A. being incentivized to cast votes for either incumbent Democrat Mayor Karen Bass or Raman. The outlet even included some video interviews from the encampments with individuals admitting to accepting payment for their vote.
WATCH:
One woman living on LA’s Skid Row said people were paid to fill out and sign voter registration forms. When asked how many ballots she would sign at once, she responded: “Four or five. It depends.” https://t.co/PxiizoYOPd pic.twitter.com/qJRfTvDL0H

So, the Post's eyes have been peeled for any new developments, and the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security supplied them.
The California Post witnessed three plainclothes agents fanning out across Skid Row’s rundown streets just before noon, interviewing dozens of people and taking notes.
Federal Homeland Security Investigations agents also particpiated in the probe.
The officers — dressed in jeans, sweatshirts and baseball caps — spoke to locals who appeared to point them in the direction of where to look.
The Department of Justice confirmed that federal agents were investigating a criminal matter, but declined to comment further.
The FBI said it does not comment on ongoing investigations, but The Post’s investigations have determined it was linked to voter fraud allegations.
This comes on the heels of the May DOJ arrest and indictment of Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, a professional signature collector for ballot initiatives who paid individuals – including the homeless people who domicile on the streets of Skid Row – to register to vote.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said of this indictment:
False registrations undermine Americans’ faith in elections – even more so when payoffs are involved. This Justice Department is committed to ensuring that all U.S. elections are fair and free from illegal meddling – so that all Americans can accept the results with confidence.

Like an onion, expect more layers to be peeled, and expect that stench to spread further than the L.A. Mayor's race.
