Tax‑funded NGO Hosted County Voting Center

A Los Angeles migrant‑advocacy nonprofit that has received over $100 million in public funds hosted an official county 'flex' voting center where staff reportedly escorted voters through ballots and relayed endorsements. That combination—government‑funded NGO, county voting equipment (Smartmatic tablets, drop box), and on‑site staff advice—raises legal questions under California's 100‑foot anti‑solicitation rule and IRS limits on 501(c)(3) political activity. — If public grants subsidize organizations that use state voting infrastructure to promote candidates, it creates a governance and enforcement problem that could affect election integrity and public trust in voter assistance programs.
