"Like most of Johnsons content, the California video is easily debunked. California state law gives people experiencing homelessness the flexibility to use any location to register to vote. As long as unhoused residents can describe the place where they spend most of their time whether its an address, a cross street or a vacant lot they can legally list it as their address on their voter registration form.
A spokesperson for California Secretary of State Shirley Weber (D) confirmed to Democracy Docket that the people registered to vote at the address in Johnsons video are unhoused individuals.
Moreover, a review of the video by Democracy Docket found that the address was the site of a temporary housing facility from 2020 until the very end of 2024, just over a year before Johnson recorded his video. Google Street View and satellite images of the lot show portable buildings appeared in 2020 and were visible there well into 2025.
There is no voter fraud associated with this address, Webers spokesperson said. This is the address used by 26 unhoused individuals exercising their constitutional right to vote. All counties, and the state, perform continuous list maintenance in compliance with federal and state laws. "
