‘Fraudster’s paradise’: Feds plan to file election fraud charges in California
Some individuals in California will soon face federal election fraud charges, first assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli told Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck on Monday.California has faced criticism for the delays in counting votes in the gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral primary races, fueling concerns of fraud.'We will be charging some people.'Now, a week after Election Day, California still has not counted all of the votes in its primary elections. Last week, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles was investigating the delays.Essayli noted in a post on social media that California allows its residents to register to vote using questionable forms of identification, including gym membership cards, employee ID cards, credit and debit cards, insurance cards, and prescription drug labels. “This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look,” he wrote.RELATED: Los Angeles mayor race called for far-left challenger after Pratt loses 40,000-vote lead Melissa Sue Gerrits/Getty ImagesDuring “The Glenn Beck Program” on Monday, Essayli told Beck that his office will be pursuing election fraud charges in the near future. “It will be election fraud charges in the next — I hate to put timelines on things — one to two months, I believe. We need some of these results to be certified so we can prove some of the allegations,” Essayli stated. “But we will be charging some people.”“At this point right now, we’re wide open for investigations,” he added.

If you saw someone collecting ballots in a suspicious way or doing something odd with ballots, we want to know about that,” Essayli said. “Those are the kind of things we need direct evidence of right now so we can launch into deeper investigations.”Like Blaze News?

MAGA influencer falsely accuses a Californian senior citizen of election fraud
MAGA influencer Nick Shirley confronted an 86-year-old woman named Doris at her home, claiming California records showed she is 126-years-old with 51 votes cast. Shirley, a pro-Trump YouTuber, recorded himself confronting Doris and shared the video online. On Tuesday, Democratic strategist Tom Bonier exposed a fundamental flaw in Shirley's investigation: California's voter database VoteCal, built on the Microsoft SQL Server, generates a default birthdate of January 1, 1900 when date fields contain errors or are blank. This explains the 126-year-old discrepancy, he argues. Bonier wrote on X, "This dips--- discovered that SQL server at one point replaced blank date of birth fields with a default of 01/01/1900, so he harassed an 86 year old woman." The woman disputed Shirley's claims, stating she was in her mid-80s and refusing to review his documents. Despite Bonier's explanation exposing the database glitch, the baseless fraud claim spread among right-wing influencers, including Elon Musk, who amplified the false narrative.This isn't the first time Shirley's inaccurate reporting gains traction amongst MAGA circles. His unsubstantiated investigation into alleged fraud by Somalians in Minnesota was supported by the Trump administration, NPR reports.Watch the video below.

JD Vance calls for CRIMINAL investigation into Tim Walz and Keith Ellison over fraud
Vice President JD Vance immediately referred top Minnesota Democrats for criminal investigation after a Republican congressional committee released evidence that they had ignored massive scams.The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform report released on Monday documented testimony from officials who accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Attorney General Keith Ellison of knowing about the fraud and doing nothing to stop it.Stolen funds 'likely ended up in the hands of international terrorist networks and certainly funded the lavish lifestyles of criminal fraudsters.' "I've referred these allegations to DOJ's new Fraud Division for criminal investigation," Vance wrote in a social media post Monday evening. "Minnesota state officials are not above the law, and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and intimated whistleblowers, they must face justice."Gov. Walz, Vance's one-time vice presidential opponent, had been forced to drop his gubernatorial re-election campaign after being accused of collusion in the Minnesota fraud schemes, many of which were centered in the Somali community.He has denied any wrongdoing and claimed that his administration took many steps to curb the fraud.The committee claimed Walz and Ellison knew about the scams as far back at 2019. Even worse, Walz allegedly retaliated against whistleblowers speaking out to expose the fraud.The scams put $300 million of federal child nutrition funds and up to $9 billion of Medicare-related funding at risk.The committee also claimed that the stolen funds "likely ended up in the hands of international terrorist networks and certainly funded the lavish lifestyles of criminal fraudsters, while vulnerable populations were harmed." Vance called on the National Fraud Enforcement Division to investigate the allegations against Walz and Ellison.RELATED: FBI RAIDS 'Quality Learing Center' and nearly 2 dozen more in Minnesota FRAUD investigation A spokesperson for Walz called the Republican claims a "joke" in a statement to KSTP-TV."This committee has proven time and time again to be nothing more than a joke," the spokesperson said. "They continue to rehash COVID-era fraud to distract from endless wars, gas prices, ICE, and the president's insider trading. Governor Walz is glad to see fraudsters are going to prison. If the committee is concerned about corruption, they should investigate why President Trump continues to let fraudsters out of prison."Ellison also released a statement claiming the accusations are "riddled with inaccuracies and misrepresentations in an effort to politicize the issue of fraud, instead of actually helping Minnesota protect tax dollars and go after fraudsters."Like Blaze News?
