A series of shocking videos show homeless residents on Los Angeles’ Skid Row claiming they were paid to vote for Mayor Karen Bass and councilwoman Nithya Raman.
The California Post obtained copies of the videos after they were published Tuesday on the TikTok account LaneNeedsSpencerPratt.
The footage, recorded near 7th Street and Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, has since been provided to the Department of Justice. It also follows The Post’s revelations that thousands of homeless voters were registered to shelters where they didn’t live.
One shelter in Venice, where 185 Raman voters were registered, received $600,000 from taxpayers care of the socialist Raman.
In one of the clips, a man who calls himself Kevin Shepherd, claimed he received $4 to vote for Bass.
When asked whether he would also have been paid to vote for Raman, Shepherd answered “yes” and said Spencer Pratt was not among the candidates he was encouraged to support.
As a result of the primary’s outcome, America’s Newspaper of Record compares and contrasts the difficult choice that L.A. residents will be facing this fall:
