According to former Attorney General Eric Holder, the kind of thing you’re about to read about doesn’t even exist:
BREAKING: 9 people in CA charged with election fraud-related felonies. They produced hundreds of fake or forged signatures on ballot petitions and voter registration forms and registered a nonexistent person to vote. https://t.co/0qjdCjZh6f

Well look at that!
Nine people face felony charges in connection with a scheme in which they offered cash or cigarettes to homeless people in exchange for fake or forged signatures on ballot petitions and voter registration forms. https://t.co/iavX4ow9tm

Los Angeles County prosecutors Tuesday announced the charges, which include circulating a petition with false names, voter fraud and registering a nonexistent person during election cycles in 2016 and this year. https://t.co/iavX4ow9tm

From the L.A. Times:
Using cash and cigarettes as lures, the defendants approached homeless people on skid row and asked them to forge signatures on state ballot measure petitions and voter registration forms, the district attorney’s office said. The defendants — some of whom were scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday — face several criminal charges, including circulating a petition with fake names, voter fraud and registering a fictitious person.
The charges, which were filed three weeks ago but made public Tuesday, followed a Los Angeles Police Department crackdown on suspected election fraud on skid row earlier in the year.
“They paid individuals to sign the names,” Officer Deon Joseph, the senior lead officer on skid row, told The Times in September. “That’s an assault on our democracy.”
Wait, that can’t be possible!
But this never happens. https://t.co/Kejt3ayYts

Do we have a political party that can be identified LA Times? I wonder if I can guess? *cough* DEMOCRATS *cough*

The article quoting state officials actually doesn’t specify what party or special interest group(s) the attempted fraud would have assisted, so it’s anybody’s guess.
The thing that “doesn’t happen.”https://t.co/RpphmWYMgw
