The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released part one of its investigation into a California elections fraud cash for ballots scheme.
James O’Keefe and his team of journalists went undercover on Skid Row in Los Angeles posing as homeless people.
‘Petitioners’ told the undercover journalists that they are paid between $7-$10 per signature. Some of them earn up to $1,000 per day.
“California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms,” they said.

US Attorney Bill Essayli responded to the O’Keefe Media Group’s latest undercover sting exposing a cash for ballots scheme in California.
“Under 52 U.S.C. § 10307(c), it is a federal crime to provide false information on a voter registration form or to offer payment to complete a voter registration form,” Bill Essayli said.
“While longstanding DOJ policy prevents me from discussing specific investigations, I want to assure the public that this DOJ, under the leadership of @AGPamBondi, will aggressively pursue anyone and everyone involved in violating federal election laws,” Essayli said.
