This video appears to show signature gatherers for ballot initiatives sponsored by Building a Better California—a recently formed political group bankrolled by prominent tech billionaires—offering homeless people $5 cash to sign petitions, using names other than their own.

This has been a recurring problem in California. In 2018, the LA District Attorney charged nine people with felonies for paying homeless residents with $1 bills and cigarettes to forge signatures on ballot measure petitions and voter registration forms.

It’s not surprising that the large infusion of money into these ballot measures is attracting unscrupulous fraudsters. With tens of millions massive pouring in, signature harvesters have reportedly made as much as $17,000 a week during this election year.

Spokesperson for Building a Better California Abby Lunardi told me via email they were aware of the video and have contacted the signature-gathering agency to reject any petitions from the circulator in video. She emphasized, “We do not tolerate this or any type of fraudulent activity in the signature-gathering process.”
