Foreigner Named in Swiss Criminal Complaints Caught Promoting California Ballot Petition Fraud
In Los Angeles, we investigated the company Urban Signers, which specializes in circulating ballot petitions.
The man who owns Urban Signers, Franck Tessemo, was previously named in Swiss criminal complaints for alleged ballot petition fraud in Switzerland.
In a job interview with Urban Signers, we caught Franck on hidden camera suggesting to us that it is “okay” to give cigarettes in exchange for ballot petition signatures.
Giving incentives for a signature on a ballot initiative is a misdemeanor crime in California. We are calling on city and state authorities to promptly investigate this matter.
