Thousands of homeless voters were registered to vote at LA shelters — despite many not living there or the facilities not having any beds.
And as Spencer Pratt was eliminated by Nithya Raman in the mayor’s race on Monday night, it can be revealed that one drop-in center that received $600,000 from the socialist candidate had 185 registered voters at the address but offers no accommodations.
The revelations have prompted US Attorney Bill Essayli to say he will investigate the concerns uncovered by The Post and “follow the evidence” to see if the law has been broken.
A review of records shows 7,600 voters tied to homeless shelters and service providers.
Among them was the St. Joseph Center in Venice, a drop-in center that, according to voting records, had 185 voters registered to its address and received $600,000 in taxpayers’ money from the homeless and housing committee while Raman was chair.
Last week, The Post contacted her campaign and the center seeking comment regarding the relationship between the councilmember and the organization but has not heard back. However, a photograph showing Raman presenting a check was taken down from its website following our inquiries.
Martin Rowe, a homeless man living in Venice, told The Post he was registered to vote during an outreach effort outside a Ralphs grocery store.
“They asked you all the questions,” Rowe said. “They gave you a paper.”
