California Probes Paid Petition Signatures Amidst Billionaire Tax Fight
California election officials are investigating allegations of illegal payments for ballot petition signatures in San Francisco. A video captured individuals seemingly being offered $5 to sign petitions, with instructions to use false names. The state secretary of state’s office confirmed its awareness of the matter and is actively investigating the claims. The campaigns associated with the petitions stated they do not tolerate fraudulent activity and are cooperating with authorities.
