Spencer Pratt breaks silence on FBI’s Skid Row voter fraud probe

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt recently spoke out about the FBI’s investigation into voter fraud on Skid Row, shedding light on a key detail from the federal agents’ visit to the area. Pratt took to social media to share a photo showing agents engaging with a group of individuals on Skid Row, with “Moms for Pratt” posters prominently displayed in the background. The image captured a moment as federal investigators conducted interviews in the area, following allegations that homeless individuals had been paid to vote in the June 2 primary.

In a tweet on X, Pratt emphasized the commitment to cleaning up LA, stating, “We are cleaning up LA whether you like it or not.” The FBI and Department of Homeland Security’s presence on Skid Row marked a significant escalation in the federal probe of voting activities in Los Angeles, with FBI Director Kash Patel commending the action. Patel underscored the importance of securing elections, emphasizing that any interference would be thoroughly investigated and addressed.

The investigation was prompted by videos surfacing of Skid Row residents claiming they were paid to vote for incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman. One video featured a man alleging he received payment to cast his vote for Bass. These clips, along with revelations from The California Post about homeless individuals being registered to vote in shelters where they did not reside, prompted the federal intervention.

Despite a strong showing on Election Day, Spencer Pratt failed to secure a spot in the mayoral runoff, with Bass winning the primary and Raman coming in second. The FBI’s actions on Skid Row underscore the ongoing efforts to safeguard the integrity of elections and address any instances of voter fraud.
