The CRAZIEST Video We’ve Made So Far

In this video, Nick Shirley presents what he characterizes as undercover footage of alleged election crimes caught on camera in Los Angeles. According to Nick Shirley, the video documents multiple alleged felonies including voter impersonation, signature forgery, and cash payments to homeless individuals to participate in these schemes—claims he describes as “non-circumstantial evidence” rather than circumstantial allegations.

Nick Shirley begins by presenting a case he calls the “Vicky Walker” incident. In the video, Nick Shirley alleges that coordinators gave a homeless person a post-it note with the name “Vicky Walker” and paid them cash to register using that name. When Nick Shirley’s team visited the address associated with Vicky Walker’s voter registration, the current resident—who has lived there for 9 years—stated he has never met Vicky Walker and still receives her election mail at the property. According to Nick Shirley, this demonstrates that registered voter names are being used on ballot petitions despite the voters no longer residing at those addresses.

Nick Shirley then presents what he describes as the “Paul Sun” case, where undercover footage allegedly shows a homeless person being handed cash and instructed to vote in Paul Sun’s name on a California petition. When Nick Shirley’s team contacted Paul Sun directly, Paul Sun allegedly confirmed he did not authorize his signature and was unaware his name had been used. According to Nick Shirley, the petition involved liability protections for Uber Technologies.

A third case presented by Nick Shirley involves what he identifies as “Joseph Albright.” In this footage, Nick Shirley alleges that a petitioner coordinator holds a document listing registered voters’ names and addresses, then instructs a homeless person to forge signatures in those names. According to Nick Shirley, the coordinator tells the homeless individual to write only what they are instructed to write, despite the homeless person expressing concern about understanding what they are signing.

Nick Shirley emphasizes that he claims to have documented this pattern repeatedly. According to Nick Shirley, NBC News Los Angeles covered the story, reporting that over two dozen instances appear to show cash exchanges for ballot signatures and registration forms. The NBC report cited in the video states that independent journalist James O’Keefe’s team captured 28 instances of alleged encouragement to use fake addresses over a few days, suggesting according to Nick Shirley that this activity may be happening “tens if not hundreds of thousands of times.”

In response to the reporting, Nick Shirley notes that state officials issued statements. According to the video, the first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California wrote on X: “I want to assure the public that this DOJ under the leadership of Attorney General Pam Bondi will aggressively pursue anyone and everyone involved in violating federal election laws.” The LA District Attorney’s office responded that it would open a file for preliminary review, and Governor Gavin Newsom’s office stated that anyone caught engaging in such activity should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Nick Shirley characterizes this as a civil rights issue rather than a partisan matter, noting that even Governor Newsom called for arrests of those allegedly involved in disenfranchising voters.

In Nick Shirley’s Own Words

“Multiple felonies election crimes caught on tape, people impersonating other voters, forging signatures and being cashed to do so tens of thousands of times.”

“Non-circumstantial evidence. We have tens of thousands of instances of people giving cash to homeless people and telling them to forge signatures of voters in Los Angeles, California.”

“This is not a right or left-wing issue. It’s a civil rights issue. You can’t disenfranchise a vote like that.”

Why this matters: Election integrity and voter disenfranchisement allegations of this scope, if substantiated, would represent serious federal crimes. The involvement of homeless service organizations and the scale Nick Shirley describes raises questions about systemic vulnerabilities in voter registration processes and petition collection procedures in California.
