I Investigated California’s Suspected Voter Fraud

Feb 17, 2026 · 602K views · 📍 San Diego, CA · University of San Diego (Kroc Institute, 5998 Alcala Park) · Downtown San Diego, CA

Nick Shirley uses public voter-roll data from the California Secretary of State to visit registration addresses around San Diego (roughly a 15-mile radius), including a storage facility, a UPS store, a post office, a boarded-up building, a retirement community, and a University of San Diego institute, finding registrations that staff and residents could not verify. Guided by a voter-roll researcher, he highlights anomalies such as voters listed as 125-126 years old, high turnout at institutional addresses, and PO-box addresses listed as primary residences, arguing California's lack of voter ID and heavy vote-by-mail leave room for fraud. No dollar amounts are stated; the alleged harms are fraudulent or unverifiable voter registrations and votes rather than monetary losses.

Other claims (18)

allegedOver 200 people over the age of 125 are registered to vote in certain areas of California, per Nick's framing of voter roll errors.
chargedA Southern California woman is facing five felony charges after registering her dog to vote in two elections; the dog's vote was counted in one election.
allegedHundreds of people cast votes according to California state records despite having been dead for years, including a woman who died in 1988 whose records show a 2014 vote.
allegedJulita Abuine (name likely garbled) is recorded as voting in Norwalk in 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014 despite dying in 2006; the LA County registrar confirmed signed vote-by-mail envelopes in her name for 2012 and 2014.
allegedCalifornia has voter rolls of about 22 to 23 million people, and Orange County alone sees 60,000-70,000 roll changes per month, which the researcher says cannot be followed up on.
allegedPeople still on the rolls since 2008 who have not voted in 16-18 years keep receiving mailed ballots, and votes have later appeared for people who had not lived at addresses for 12 years.
allegedVoter rolls show people aged 125 years old, recurring to the tune of hundreds in every county in California.
allegedRegistering to vote in California without a driver's license or Social Security number created 9.6 million records sent to the Social Security Administration, of which 75% came back with no matching Social Security record.
allegedAt sorority and dorm-house addresses, turnout of 106 votes cast out of 108 registered is far above the typical 50-70% turnout, which the researcher calls anomalous but not proof of fraud.
allegedA local senior mental-health/rehabilitation retirement community has 45 people registered with 41 voting in the last election; a staff member said those numbers are probably not accurate anymore.
alleged58 people are registered to vote at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice building (5998 Alcala Park, University of San Diego) and 50 voted from that location; staff could not say where the ballots go.
allegedFive people are registered to vote at an Extra Space Storage facility (three voted in 2024, one in 2020, one never); staff confirmed nobody lives there, making these potentially illegal registrations under state law.
allegedOver 30 people are registered to vote with their primary residence listed as a single UPS store, including a 100-year-old woman named Gloria (born 1925) who voted in the last election; store staff refused to comment.
allegedRoughly 15-16 people are registered to vote at a boarded-up building in downtown San Diego, and many of them voted in the 2024 election.
allegedMany people are registered with a post office address as their primary residence, which the researcher calls an illegal registration under state law that enables ballot harvesting or voting on behalf of others.
disputedA woman the rolls list as Doris/Dorwood, aged 126 and having voted in 51 elections, disputes the record, saying she was born in 1940.
disputedA woman named Virginia is listed on active California voter rolls as 125 years old having voted in 55 elections; a relative at the address says she is actually about 80-81.
alleged23 million ballots go through the process statewide, so small irregularities at individual post offices compound to an exponential impact across the state.

All figures are as stated in the video — most are allegations, not adjudicated findings. Every dollar figure links to the timestamp where it is said. Extraction QA: High-fidelity extraction: all 18 claims trace to verbatim transcript passages with accurate amounts, timestamps, and speaker attributions, and the disputed/alleged/charged status labels match the transcript. Only two minor over-reaches: the 200+ voters aged 125+ figure was scoped as state_total when the transcript says 'certain areas', and the man vouching for Virginia's age was labeled 'a relative' though his relationship is never stated. ASR garbles (Ersen/Ursen, John B. Croc, Newsome, Norwok) were correctly flagged and plausibly reconstructed; no fabricated claims or entities were found.
