    LAPD cracks down on voter fraud on Skid Row

    Los Angeles Police Department officer Deon Joseph knows his way around Skid Row. It's been his beat for the last 20 years.

    And while it's not hard to find serious crime problems along the tent-covered sidewalks here, Joseph keyed in on one you wouldn't necessarily associate with Skid Row.

    "This is where they do most of the voter registration fraud," he said, pointing to the sidewalk in front of the Midnight Mission. "It's been going on for years."

    Joseph says it's pretty common for people hired by lobbyists to set up tables outside the missions and illegally pay people for fake signatures used for various ballot measures from all across California.

    "They say, 'Hey, you wanna make a quick buck?" Joseph explained. "They can get a quarter, a dollar, a cigarette and sometimes food. But in the last few cases it's been money."

    Those last few cases ended with arrests when LAPD sent in undercover officers on Friday armed with hidden cameras.

    So far this year, the department has arrested seven people for voter fraud, but Joseph says the first four charges were bumped down from felonies to misdemeanors.

    "It sends the message that it's not a big deal," said Joseph. "And as a result these guys come back."

    Joseph says the department is working with the District Attorney's office to ensure the three men arrested Friday are hit with felony charges.

    "It may not be the biggest deal to the average person out there," Joseph said. "But this is an assault on our democracy."
     
  2. If they caught Republicans doing it, you bet it would be a Felony.
     
  3. The floods in NC are God's punishment for your morally bankrupt voter suppression. ;) Stop being so evil.

    Those poor students getting crucified for residency technicalities in their postal vote? Sociopaths stalking the young.

  4. And I guess this guy was just trying to help. Deported six times, SIX TIMES. What now, the key to the city? Never know what the left will support next, mass murderers, people bringing false testimony, people bearing false witness, and for what? All to push a narrative. Just WTF that narrative has turned into is still evolving, but god damn, you fuckers are really out doing yourselves.

    Cybersecurity Bill Is Blocked in Senate by G.O.P. Filibuster

    WASHINGTON — A cybersecurity bill that had been one of the Obama administration’s top national security priorities was blocked by a Republican filibuster in the Senate on Thursday, severely limiting its prospects this year.

    The Senate voted 52 to 46 to cut off debate, falling short of the 60 needed to force a final vote on the measure, which had bipartisan support but ran into a fight over what amendments to the legislation could be proposed.

  7. Uber is apparently offering free rides to voting places this Midterm. Between this and school buses, the Left could have a really good time this election cycle. I wonder how many precincts will end up having more votes than registered voters. Then again, it might not matter anyway as the last I heard, Diebold's voting machine code has never been independently verified. I assume there are other voting machine vendors as well. Especially in California. Diebold's management has in the past been associated with the Bush Administration.

    It is really unfair to voters to have a lack of transparency and enforcement in the voting process. We should be able to choose which party screws us.
