Brock Pierce offers $1M for evidence of California election fraud

Brock Pierce, a former childhood actor turned crypto mogul, is offering a $1 million reward for any credible, verifiable evidence of election fraud, as claims of interference continue to grow in the wake of the Los Angeles mayoral election.

The former “Mighty Ducks” actor launched the Cure the Vote initiative on Monday, in an effort to boost transparency and accountability around the mayoral race that has gained national attention and scrutiny over vote counting. 

“Cure The Vote is designed to provide a secure and independent avenue for election workers, government employees, contractors, campaign staff, election observers, whistleblowers, and members of the public to submit credible evidence relating to potential election misconduct or irregularities,” according to a press release announcing the launch of the initiative. 

All submissions will be reviewed by independent attorneys, election-law experts, and investigators before determining award eligibility. 

The initiative is nonpartisan and underscores that it does not assume wrongdoing took place, but rather looks to reinforce public confidence by ensuring any “credible allegations receive professional and independent review,” the press release said. 

The move comes as Nithya Raman was declared as second place in the race behind Karen Bass, edging out Spencer Pratt after a huge surge in ballots going her way. 

Cure The Vote pointed to other public-interest reward programs, like the ones launched by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt. 

In 2007, the adult magazine publisher offered a $1 million reward for anyone who could uncover sexual misconduct and hypocrisy by government officials.

He did so again in 2012, seeking dirt and infidelity regarding members of Congress, and then most recently in 2017 when he put up $10 million for any information that could lead to the impeachment of President Donald Trump in his first term. 

“Advocates say the same principle can be applied to election integrity by encouraging individuals with firsthand knowledge and verifiable evidence to come forward,” the press release said. 

Pierce, who became a crypto mogul, has a history of wading into the political waters.

In 2020, he ran as an independent for president and later launched a bid for Senate in Vermont with the help of former Trump aide, Steve Bannon before dropping out of the race.
