Depicts homeless individuals as complicit in electoral fraud
Uses anonymous accounts to portray unhoused people as routinely bribed for signatures, reinforcing negative stereotypes without exploring structural factors or rights.
“They will pay you to fill out the petition”
Framed as a source of electoral suspicion
Pratt’s implication that the number of new votes matches the number of homeless people, suggesting improper enfranchisement without evidence.
“'"A net swing of more than 43,000 votes since Tuesday.." 43,000, huh?' Pratt mused. 'Where have I seen that number before...? Probably nothing,' he wrote, quoting an article that said there were 43,699 people who experience homelessness in LA.”
Framed as excluded, dehumanized, and othered
Loaded language ('zombies', 'hordes') systematically dehumanizes homeless people, excluding them from societal protection and empathy.
“hordes on the street outside”
