The U.S. attorney for the Central District of California said Friday that his office has "multiple fraud investigations underway" in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The prosecutor, Bill Essayli, also said in the announcement that he's working with Harmeet Dhillon, U.S. assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, to conduct a comprehensive audit of the state's voter rolls.
Essayli didn't comment on any specific investigation, but he said he'd "follow the evidence wherever it leads and prosecute any violations of federal election law to the fullest extent."
"The state has stonewalled every effort to verify that only eligible U.S. citizens are registered to vote," Essayli also said in an X post announcing the joint probe.
Essayli referred to a case in which Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, 64, took a plea deal for one felony count of paying another person to register to vote in a federal election. Prosecutors say she paid homeless people on Skid Row to register to vote, letting them use her address to register, in some cases. This allowed mail-in ballots to be sent to her home, according to a plea agreement, the California Post reported.
The scheme allegedly went on for 20 years. Essayli told the Post that a lot of fraud could have been prevented if the state shared the voter rolls with this office, and a lawsuit over the state's refusal to share the rolls is before the Ninth Circuit.
Californians went to the polls Tuesday to cast ballots in state and local elections up and down the state, with ballots as of Friday still being counted in the gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral races.

I hope a lot of people end up in jail.
Signature verification audit.
And what will happen? They will spend ages and piles of money investigating, the election will be over, the cheaters will be sworn into office, maybe one day a few little fish will be charged, tried and jailed, politicians will call for election reform, the outrage of it all will pass and that will be the end of it until it happens again.
What will happen? Not a damn thing.
