A woman accused of paying homeless people on Los Angeles’ Skid Row to register to vote and sign petitions has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge, according to federal prosecutors.

Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, 64, was expected to appear Monday morning in a Santa Ana courtroom after agreeing to plead guilty to paying another person to register to vote. She was expected to enter the plea in the coming weeks, the Department of Justice said.

Brown Armstrong, of Marina del Rey, was identified by federal authorities in court documents as a long-time “petition circulator.” She collected voter signatures on official petitions that qualify initiatives, referendums and recalls for election ballots, according to the court documents.

The signed petitions were then returned to coordinators, who provided payment for signatures that could be attributed to registered voters.

Some of the signatures were collected in downtown LA’s Skid Row. Federal prosecutors alleged that Brown Armstrong paid $2 to $3 and offered cigarettes and phone cards in exchange for signatures on petitions.

“While Skid Row offered a high-density location to collect petition signatures, many of the homeless people were not registered to vote in California,” according to federal court documents.

Starting last year, Brown Armstrong brought voter registration forms to Ski Row and offered payment to complete the forms, prosecutors alleged.

“Before she could have a homeless person sign a petition, she first needed to get them to register to vote, and that’s what she paid them to do,” First U.S. Assistant Attorney Bill Essayli said at a Monday news conference.

When the individual did not have a home address to include on the form, Brown Armstrong provided her own former address “on at least several occasions,” according to court documents. In the court documents, prosecutors said ballot in some homeless individuals’ names “could have the potential” to be sent to Brown Armstrong’s former residence, where she did not collect mail.

It was not immediately clear how many people were registered to vote.

Brown Armstrong faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison, three years of supervised release and a $10,000 fine.
