Nine people have been criminally charged after a Los Angeles election fraud scheme was busted by undercover officers.
Hundreds of homeless people on skid row were targeted and given cash and cigarettes in exchange for fraudulent signatures on voter registration forms or ballot initiatives this year and during the 2016 election cycle, reports the Los Angeles Times.
Hundreds that they know of from this one voter fraud scheme, who knows how many other schemes they have gotten away with. Funny how the same party violently opposed to voter ID is the one caught committing voter fraud, surely just a coincidence.

This has already been covered. It's not voter fraud.
But those 9 people are responsible for 1000's of illegal votes. Enough to sway a tight election.
That was just 9 people they cause and the 5 they caught in Texas, running the same game with a different demographic.
Local elections really suffer from this, in small districts.

Negative. This did not involve any illegal votes.
Say it with me.
This was not voter fraud.
The CEC bias you just displayed is so thick you've already assigned the outcome of this case to the way you perceive this issue without even bothering to look at the specifics. That's the height of intellectual weakness, and as Jordan Peterson would say, of ideological possession.

If it was illegal for them to do what they did and are being charged... illegal votes were cast.

Negative.
They would only be illegal votes if the voters could not be legally registered. That was not the case, the fact that they might have been induced into registering through a payment (which was the illegal part) does not mean they were illegally registered voters. It just means they didn't have the motivation to register on their own. In fact, given that, if they are that lazy that they need a payment to register then they probably didn't even vote.

Well, a thoughtful person would ask--who did they vote for? Oh, they didn't actually vote? So there was not voter fraud. There was ballot initiative fraud.
I guess the Daily Whatever does not go into details?
They paid people to sign a petition to attempt to get an initiative on the ballot, and apparently is not new. Skid row bums get a cigarette for signing to have an initiative on the ballot. Go get 'em tiger! Save the country from skid row bums.
And hey that reminds me--whatever happened to Duncan Hunter and Chris Collins the GOP Congress members who were indicted?

Registrations =/= actual votes. One would need to show that actual votes happened as a result of this for there to be illegal votes and not just a different kind of illegal activity.
Same for the common pronouncements here that dead people vote and similar voter registration problems. Yes, voter registrations need to be cleaned and processes improved.There has been no proof of widespread actual voting by dead people, though.
But no matter how many times this is all pointed out, we still hear about how there is supposedly tons of illegal voting. Sigh.
