LA voter rolls include shelters with no beds—and plenty of questions
As Americans begin to raise a fuss over what critics deem a suspicious ballot count in Los Angeles, a new report could break things wide open. The surge of Nithya Raman past Spencer Pratt has caused many to cry foul, but a recent New York Post exclusive story may have some answers. According to the outlet, “[t]housands of homeless voters were registered to vote at LA shelters — despite many not living there or the facilities not having any beds.” While the ballot count continues in the California city, “it can be revealed that one drop-in center that received $600,000 from the socialist candidate had 185 registered voters at the address but offers no accommodations.” If this seems suspicious to you, you aren’t alone. US Attorney Bill Essayli says he will look into the matter, according to The Post, and will “follow the evidence” to see if any laws were broken. “A review of records shows 7,600 voters tied to homeless shelters and service providers,” the outlet reported. “Among them was St. Joseph Center in Venice, a homeless services drop-in center with 185 registered voters tied to its address. The organization received a $600,000 taxpayer-funded grant awarded by Raman while she chaired the City Council’s Housing and Homelessness Committee.” Martin Rowe, a homeless man, reveals he “was registered to vote during an outreach effort outside a Ralphs grocery store.” “They asked you all the questions. They gave you a paper.” Midnight Mission on Skid Row reportedly boasts the highest concentration of homeless voters with 1,160. A review of the records, however, shows they only have “beds for 84 men and 36 women,” making it impossible for them to house that many people at one time.
