BREAKING: Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, 64, of Marina del Rey, is expected to appear today in federal court in Santa Ana, California, on a single-count information charging her with paying another person to register to vote, a felony punishable by a statutory maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.
 
She is expected to plead guilty in the coming weeks.
 
Armstrong has worked for approximately 20 years as a “petition circulator” who traveled throughout the Los Angeles area to gather signatures for ballot initiatives in California elections.
 
She didn’t do this for charity or out of the kindness of her heart: The more signatures she got from registered voters, the more her supervisors paid her.
 
Starting no later than last year, Armstrong began paying people, including homeless individuals in downtown L.A.’s Skid Row neighborhood, to sign petitions and to register to vote. She sometimes listed a former address of hers when some people had no address to list.
 
Because California automatically sends a vote-by-mail ballot to every registered voter, this also meant ballots in some homeless individuals’ names could have the potential to be sent to Armstrong’s former residence where the homeless individual did not live or collect mail.
 
California’s lax attitude towards voter registration endangers our democracy. We won’t stand by when ballot box corruption threatens the foundations of our republic.

WATCH: Devastating Tornado Damage Near Saint Libory & St. Paul, Nebraska 🌪️

This tornado caused major destruction, reportedly taking out 3 homes, leveling structures nearly down to the slab and pavement, severely damaging or flipping vehicles beyond repair, snapping power poles, and scattering debris everywhere.

One of the most insane sights was the ground scouring left behind as the tornado carved a visible path through the field near Saint Libory / St. Paul, Nebraska. You can literally see where this damaging tornado tore across the ground, leaving behind a destructive trail. Multiple buildings were damaged, cars were destroyed, and the tornado path is clearly visible across the landscape. Absolutely unreal damage from this powerful storm.

WATCH: VP Vance speaks at manufacturing plant in Missouri

VP in Kansas City: "We are bringing the United States of America back — and it's starting right here in the great state of Missouri... We decided to put American businesses and, most importantly, American workers first."

In Kansas City, VP slams Congressional Democrats for opposing POTUS' historic tax cut: "That legislation provides the biggest tax cut for working class Missourians that we have ever seen... it should have been simple to get Democrats to vote for more money in your pockets."

VP: "If you are committing fraud against the American people, you ought to go to prison... Just last week, we actually prosecuted a fraudster who was stealing people's check information, stealing their identity, and writing bad checks... That person's going to prison."
