YouTuber Nick Shirley released a video highlighting California’s negligence in maintaining its voter rolls.
Shirley was joined by a whistleblower, who discovered inconsistencies and potential fraud within public voting roll records from the California Secretary of State. The roughly 22-minute video shows Shirley and the whistleblower visiting the listed addresses of registered voters, discovering that there were irregularities in the number of voters registered per location, voters inaccurately aged at 125 years old, among other suspicious issues.
“California is the breeding ground for voter fraud in America, as millions of people vote with no ID, month-long election processes, inaccurate voter rolls, dead people caught voting, even a dog successfully registered to vote, and voter verification is all based on your signature — not who you actually are,” Shirley wrote on X.
Shirley visited a public storage unit, where five people were registered to vote. Three of those individuals cast a vote in the 2024 presidential election. Under state law, it is illegal when registering to vote to give an address that isn’t your primary domicile. Shirley and the whistleblower also visited a mail store where 30 people were registered to vote.
“Without any voter ID and negligence from the state government to update their voter rolls, California’s one-party state has created a complex system where fraud is inevitable in their voting process,” Shirley wrote.
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office dismissed the claims in Shirley’s video, saying the YouTuber came up “empty.”
“After hyping ‘massive fraud’ for a month, Nick came up empty — so he posted a video about a Republican who committed voter fraud, got caught, and was prosecuted,” the California press office wrote.
“Slow Shirley is welcome to extend his visit and enroll in California’s free community college. He clearly needs it.”
Shirley pushed back against Newsom, pointing out that people are illegally registered to P.O. Boxes and calling the state’s voter rolls a “mess.”
The release of Shirley’s video comes as President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers push for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act), requiring voters to show proof of citizenship when they register to vote.
