Another California Petition Claim O'Keefe Media Group says its latest undercover video from Los Angeles shows a simple but ugly trick: people logging into an online database to pull real voter names and addresses, then using those identities on petition forms. The group says the site was Sigvalid.com and that the activity happened on Skid Row. Residents checked by the team reportedly confirmed the addresses were real but denied signing any petitions.
