EXCLUSIVE: I have been contacted by a source that wishes to remain anonymous, but informed me that staff of the non-profit 'Anti-Recidivism Coalition' (ARC) are offering $500 in exchange for guaranteed votes to current DA George Gascon of Los Angeles.
A.R.C's mission - according to their website - is to "end mass incarceration in California", and is a bridge program for former and current incarcerated people. My source stated staff made it known to former inmates that they owed current DA George Gascon their vote as many of those inmates were released early due to Gascon's prison reform, but were willing to give $500 to EACH voter who showed up with their ballot, voted for Gascon, and allowed the nonprofit to harvest their vote.
I have reached out to A.R.C's media e-mail, but have not received a reply.
This is a developing story and will post updates. If you are part of the program or part of any union with similar incentives for your vote in California, contact me: antcabassa@gmail.com
