CA Signature Gatherer Agrees To Plead Guilty In Voter Registration Scheme

A longtime Los Angeles County petition circulator has agreed to plead guilty to a federal charge after admitting she paid people, including homeless individuals in downtown Los Angeles, to register to vote.

Armstrong is scheduled to make her initial appearance Monday afternoon in federal court in Santa Ana.

According to federal prosecutors, Armstrong spent nearly two decades working as a petition circulator, collecting signatures from registered voters to qualify initiatives, referendums, and recalls for California ballots.
