The stench of Skid Row wafts through Los Angeles's increasingly suspicious vote count

 Well, they did it.

A slew of late-harvested Skid Row votes, all coming in nearly a week after the mayoral election, has pushed DSA member Nithya Raman, a former homeless NGO satrap, above Palisades fire victim Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles's top-two primary. She had tearfully conceded the race on the day after the election.

So assuming the other 300,000 ballots (no one knows for sure the final total) are counted the same way, then come November, Los Angeles can choose between Karen Bass, the mayor who let two large city neighborhoods burn and still won't allow rebuilding, or Raman, the champion of the bums.

The Skid Row revelations are worth looking at because there have already been some very skeevy revelations about voter fraud in those quarters, first exposed on film in Los Angeles by investigative journalist James O'Keefe:

And when lawmen looked into it, they hit paydirt.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Public Affairs:

Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, of Marina del Rey, California, 64, also known as “Anika,” is charged with one felony count of paying another person to register to vote, a federal charge that carries a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.

Armstrong has agreed to plead guilty to the charge and is scheduled to make her initial appearance this morning in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana. She is expected to plead guilty in the coming weeks.

According to her plea agreement, for approximately 20 years, Armstrong periodically worked as a “petition circulator.” In that role, she was paid by individuals and entities – known as “coordinators” – to collect voter signatures on official petitions that qualify initiatives, referendums, and recalls for California state ballots. Armstrong drove around the Los Angeles area to find registered voters to sign the petitions.

 After gathering enough signatures, Armstrong returned the petitions to her coordinators, who then paid her a set amount for each registered voter’s signature. The amount she was paid varied depending on the specific ballot initiative. Because her coordinators only paid for signatures attributable to registered voters, Armstrong endeavored to ensure the people who signed her petitions were registered voters.

Armstrong occasionally solicited petitioned signatures in Skid Row, an area of downtown Los Angeles notorious for its homelessness problem. Skid Row was a convenient place for Armstrong to collect signatures because of its high concentration of people in a relatively small area who were willing to sign petitions in exchange for payment. Armstrong regularly paid and offered to pay individuals cash, usually in amounts between $2 and $3, to induce them to sign her petitions

Many of Skid Row’s homeless population were not registered to vote. To ensure she maximized her pay from her coordinators, starting no later than 2025, Armstrong began offering payment to individuals not only to sign her petitions, but also to complete a voter registration form. Before going to Skid Row, Armstrong gathered a stack of voter registration forms from the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters.

 It seems likely that she was part of a bigger plot, operating over 20 years, knowing how to bring in the ballots, enough to get herself a home in upper middle class Marina del Rey perhaps. What she is about to do time for is likely only a fraction of what she did and the tip of the iceberg of what she knows.

Los Angeles has a reported 43,000 homeless individuals who are nearly all drug addicts, many of whom were bused in by other states shipping them out. Free drugs, free syringes, free needles are known to have been distributed by city-financed NGOs among them.

O'Keefe exposed NGO workers handing out drugs for ballot signatures and voter registrations, too.

Lawmen hit paydirt there, too. A few days after Brown was busted, this NGO worker in Los Angeles, living in upper-middle-class Culver City, also was arrested, DOJ announced:

LOS ANGELES – A Culver City man who worked for a nonprofit organization that distributes syringes to homeless drug users in Los Angeles and elsewhere was arrested today on a federal criminal complaint charging him with possessing fentanyl when police pulled him over while he drove a BMW near MacArthur Park earlier this month.

Christopher Barret Johnson, 42, is charged with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. 

Johnson once worked for People Assisting the Homeless (PATH), a nonprofit that offers services to homeless people including street outreach, interim and permanent housing. PATH also serves as a vendor distributing syringes, including in MacArthur Park, a sector of the city characterized by high rates of poverty with many of its residents and visitors being drug users.

So now we see this weird stuff, 43,000 homeless, and 43,000 late-arriving Skid Row ballots suddenly putting Raman over the top for the November election, shutting Spencer out.

And she wasn't even popular, let alone very well known to voters. Her deer-in-the-headlight performance on debate night signaled to many that she wasn't ready for prime time:

Observers have noted that while Democrats tend to vote by mail late, the strange phenomenon of only voting for Raman, who was grossly behind on election night, and not Bass, whose vote tally was, like Spencer's flat, suggested some abnormal activity -- after all, if Democrats like to vote late, why didn't they split their votes between Bass and Raman? Somehow, they only went for Raman until her numbers could put her above Spencer:

Another oddity is that Los Angeles has lost population as residents flee to other states -- but the vote tally, is higher:

This observer points out that the consistency of the balloting for Raman suggests that someone is using the bums' names and registrations, however skeevy those many be, and actually controlling how those ballots are filled out. Bums don't care about politics, after all, they are interested in their next drug.

So many indicators of a manipulated and fraudulent outcome.

It's worth noting that Los Angeles has been seeing these oddities for a long time:

The New York Post found another example, too.

What it indicates is that homeless NGOs have at least as much power as the SEIU to swing elections, using their 'clients' as fodder for vote harvests. That would make bums, and the people who control the bums through their NGOs, the most powerful constituency in Los Angeles, the one that can swing elections. That is as disgusting a picture as any seen in election-fraud filled Venezuela or any socialist hellhole with phony votes. California's Gov. Gavin Newsom is now resisting any effort to audit the voter rolls, which have been filled with clearly fake voters.

Obviously, he's got something at stake here in this sorry state of affairs, where he and his party benefit. Just don't call it 'democracy.'

Confirmed: Governor Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison Knew FOR 6 YEARS of Rampant Minnesota Fraud But Said Nothing in Order to ‘Keep Somali Votes’

 Tampon Timmy and that Piece of Shit Ellison are Liars and are covering this up.  Looks like the truth is out there.  I'm sure glad that Piece of Crap is not second in command right now

The scandal that has rocked Minnesota politics just got even worse.

A bombshell report released Monday by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Majority Staff concludes that Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were repeatedly warned about widespread fraud in Minnesota’s taxpayer-funded programs for years, yet failed to take meaningful action while billions of dollars were allegedly siphoned from government programs.

The 205-page report, titled “The Cost of Doing Nothing: How Tim Walz and Keith Ellison Fueled Minnesota’s Fraud Explosion,” paints a devastating picture of political negligence, bureaucratic paralysis, and what investigators describe as a pattern of looking the other way while fraudsters looted public funds.

According to the report, senior officials in the Walz administration and Ellison’s office were aware of credible fraud concerns as early as 2019 within the Minnesota Department of Human Services and by 2020 within the Minnesota Department of Education.

Yet despite possessing the authority to suspend payments and remove fraudulent providers from government programs, state officials repeatedly failed to act.

According to the report:

• Senior officials in Walz’s office and Ellison’s office were aware of credible, systemic fraud in DHS programs as early as 2019 and in the Department of Education’s child nutrition programs by April 2020.
• In the Feeding Our Future case, MDE officials identified serious deficiencies yet voluntarily continued payments for another eight months until the FBI finally raided. This was NOT required by any court order.
• State agencies had clear authority to suspend or stop payments to suspected fraudsters without waiting for courts, FBI direction, or federal orders — but they refused to use it.
• Officials repeatedly cited litigation threats and fear of racism accusations as the real reason they kept cutting checks. Not law. Not regulations. Politics.

The report states bluntly: “Litigation threats and fear of accusations of discrimination, not legal or regulatory barriers, were repeatedly cited by state officials as the reason for continued funding of entities suspected of fraud.”

The report also details how the Walz Administration retaliated against employees who tried to raise alarms:

• Intimidation through regular high-level check-ins.
• Threats of surveillance.
• Efforts to keep whistleblowers quiet rather than fix the problems.

Concern at DHS only spiked when officials realized negative media attention was coming.

Both Walz and Ellison later claimed they knew “very little” about the fraud. The Committee’s transcribed interviews and documents destroy that excuse. Walz gave shifting stories to the media about when he first learned of FOF issues — April/May 2020, then summer 2020, then November 2020. At the March 2026 hearing he couldn’t even give a specific date.

MDE officials briefed Walz’s staff about the April 28, 2020 draft lawsuit and litigation hold from Feeding Our Future — complete with discrimination claims — yet payments continued.

The fraud wasn’t limited to one nonprofit. Minnesota’s DHS had 14 “high-risk” Medicaid programs under DOJ investigation. Since 2018 these programs cost taxpayers over $18 billion, with the U.S. Attorney’s Office suspecting half or more was fraudulent — potentially $9 billion.

Explosive growth in programs like HSS and EIDBI (hundreds of percent increases in providers and spending) was a massive red flag ignored for years.

The report concludes these failures diverted resources from vulnerable populations and allowed criminal schemes — including possible ties to international terrorist networks — to flourish.

House Committee on Oversight and Government Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) released the following statement:

“Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison are responsible for one of the most stunning oversight failures this Committee has ever examined. Today’s report is the culmination of months of investigative work and reveals hard evidence showing how the Walz Administration failed to stop widespread fraud, allowing criminals to enrich themselves at the expense of American taxpayers.

Billions of dollars were stolen because Minnesota state leaders turned a blind eye to rampant fraud and retaliated against state employees who dared to raise concerns. It is now clear the Walz Administration chose to protect the system rather than protect the taxpayer.

Americans are fed up with fraud and expect action from the government entrusted with their hard-earned money. The House Oversight Committee has now passed over a dozen bills aimed at protecting taxpayer funds and strengthening oversight of federal programs ripe for fraud.
