James O’Keefe on Wednesday confronted the woman who was federally charged for illegally paying people to register to vote on Skid Row.
A woman who was caught on O’Keefe Media Group’s undercover camera illegally paying people to register to vote on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California, was federally charged this week.
The Justice Department on Monday announced that Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong was charged with one felony count of paying another person to register to vote. She is facing a max of five years in federal prison.
“False registrations undermine Americans’ faith in elections – even more so when payoffs are involved,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.
“This Justice Department is committed to ensuring that all U.S. elections are fair and free from illegal meddling – so that all Americans can accept the results with confidence,” she said.
The O’Keefe Media Group in March released 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.
Brenda Lee Brown did not want to speak on camera so she let O’Keefe into her apartment to talk off the record.
