Drugs, Deaths & the Unhoused: A Comprehensive Look at Fentanyl's Impact on The Los Angeles' Homeless Population

L.A. City's 45,000 Homeless: The New Battleground for Votes

The Westside Current launched a months-long investigation, interviewing over 300 homeless individuals and examining thousands of voter registration records. The findings highlight deep-seated confusion among the homeless: many weren’t sure if they were registered, didn’t know where to pick up their ballots, and couldn’t remember how they registered in the first place. The resulting data revealed a system that, while designed for inclusivity, is susceptible to manipulation, raising critical ethical and legal concerns.

Drugs, Deaths & the Unhoused: A Comprehensive Look at Fentanyl's Impact on The Los Angeles' Homeless Population

Angelenos have started to notice the presence of drugs in the encampments around their neighborhoods. DuWayne, whose last name is being withheld for safety reasons, joined a neighborhood watch group after seeing a constant fluctuation of unhoused individuals in the area, which led to traumatic experiences for some of his close friends and neighbors.

Blueprint & Background

Voters and elected officials in Northern California faced threats and intimidation during recent elections. Starting in 2020, Shasta County's alt-right groups took their concerns public after state pandemic regulations caused tension between council members and citizens. This began with local coalition, Recall Shasta, attempting to remove Republican Supervisors Mary Rickert, Leonard Moty, and Joe Chimenti for “betraying public trust” and “failing to give us local control.” District Supervisor Mary Rickert told us “I’ve had people call my name out and I turn around and they’re videotaping me, I’ve had texts of people calling me Satan. There was one particular one where the email said on the subject line ‘Going, going, going, gone, dead women walking’ then in the body they said they could hardly wait until I was nothing but a bad memory.”

Imitating & Intimidating: In September 2022, Doug Frank, associate of Mike Lindell, urged citizens in Shasta to investigate elections for fraud.

“On the 17th, I was contacted by three different people who were door knocked.” Cathy Darling Allen, Shasta County Clerk and Registrar of Voters, told us. “All reported feeling intimidated or targeted.”

Extremism, Activism, or Anarchy?: Red, White, & BluePrint, a militia associated group, chronicled the recall and beginning of the alt-right influx in Shasta in effort to spread their agenda to a national audience. Their podcast, Patriot State of Mind, spreads misinformation about government and elections through weekly episodes.
