据联邦检察官透露，美国司法部指控一名加州女子付费雇人——包括洛杉矶斯凯德罗兰区的无家可归者——进行选民登记，而她当时是有偿请愿签名收集员。
“虚假选民登记会损害美国人对选举的信心，涉及贿赂的情况更是如此，”司法部民权司助理司法部长哈米特·迪隆周一在新闻发布会上表示。
“本届司法部致力于确保所有美国选举公平公正，不受非法干预，让所有美国人都能满怀信心地接受选举结果，”迪隆补充道。

据司法部消息，64岁的马里纳德尔雷伊居民“安妮卡”布伦达·李·阿姆斯特朗曾为多项官方 ballot 倡议征集签名，包括在洛杉矶市中心的斯凯德罗兰区，她通常会向每人支付2至3美元。
她被控一项重罪：付费雇人进行选民登记，并已认罪，司法部称。阿姆斯特朗于周一首次出庭。

根据她的认罪协议，阿姆斯特朗担任“请愿收集员”已有约20年，每收集到一名已登记选民的签名就能获得报酬。
她获得的报酬金额因具体的 ballot 倡议而异。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系司法部，以澄清阿姆斯特朗当时正在为哪些倡议和团体征集签名，以及她的报酬标准。
检察官表示，斯凯德罗兰区的许多无家可归者此前并未登记投票，因此阿姆斯特朗随身携带选民登记表，并开始向人们付费请他们填写表格。
检察官称，阿姆斯特朗有时会向无家可归者提供她之前在洛杉矶的住址，让他们填写在选民登记表上，这使得这些人得以在加州和联邦选举中登记投票。

加州会自动向所有已登记选民邮寄邮寄选票，检察官称，部分选民名下的选票可能被寄往阿姆斯特朗此前的住所，而这些选民并未在该处居住或收取邮件。

据加州州务卿办公室消息，无家可归者只要有可接收邮件的地址并“被正确分配到投票选区”，就有权登记投票。
福克斯新闻数字频道周一已联系加州州长办公室和州司法部长办公室，寻求对此事的进一步评论。

The Department of Justice charged a California woman with paying people — including homeless individuals on Los Angeles’ Skid Row — to register to vote while she worked as a paid ballot-petition signature collector, according to federal prosecutors.
“False registrations undermine Americans’ faith in elections – even more so when payoffs are involved,” assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in a press release Monday.
“This Justice Department is committed to ensuring that all U.S. elections are fair and free from illegal meddling – so that all Americans can accept the results with confidence,” Dhillon added.

Marina del Rey resident “Anika” Brenda Lee Armstrong, 64, solicited signatures for official ballot initiatives, including in the Skid Row area of downtown Los Angeles, often paying people between $2 and $3, according to DOJ.
She was charged with one felony count of paying another person to register to vote and agreed to plead guilty, according to the DOJ. Armstrong made her initial court appearance Monday.

Armstrong worked as a “petition circulator” for approximately 20 years, and would receive payment for each registered voter’s signature, according to her plea agreement.
The amount she was paid varied depending on the specific ballot initiative. Fox News Digital reached out to the DOJ to clarify which initiatives and groups Armstrong was soliciting for and how much she was paid.
Many members of Skid Row’s homeless population were not registered to vote, so prosecutors said Armstrong brought voter registration forms with her and began offering payment to people to complete them.
Prosecutors said Armstrong sometimes provided homeless individuals with her former Los Angeles address to list on voter registration forms, which registered them to vote in both California and federal elections.

California automatically sends vote-by-mail ballots to every registered voter, with prosecutors saying ballots in some individuals’ names could potentially have been sent to Armstrong’s former residence, where those individuals did not live or collect mail.
Armstrong was charged with a felony count of paring another person to register to vote, in which she could face a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.
Investigative reporter James O’Keefe took a victory lap over the indictment, citing O’Keefe Media Group first captured footage of the alleged scheme on Skid Row.

Homeless people are eligible to register to vote so long as they have a location where mail can be received and “be properly assigned to a voting precinct,” according to the California Secretary of State.
Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of the California governor and state attorney general for additional comment on the matter on Monday.
