A Los Angeles man has been charged with perjury for allegedly submitting multiple fictitious voter registration forms in the months leading up to the November 2024 election.
Bruce Boyer, 63, of Chatsworth, allegedly attempted to register identities of fictitious people by submitting four handwritten forms to the Ventura County Registrar of Voters, each signed under penalty of perjury.
All four forms listed Boyer’s home address and were flagged as suspicious by election officials, prompting an investigation, officials said.
The Ventura County District Attorney’s Office Bureau of Investigation reviewed the case, and Boyer now faces four felony counts of perjury.
Boyer made his first court appearance Tuesday and is due back in court for arraignment in January. He has been released on his own recognizance while awaiting the next hearing, the D.A.’s Office said.
“Our office is committed to ensuring that every vote is lawful and that those accused of compromising the integrity of our election process face consequences,” Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said.
Election integrity has been a major source of public criticism that has spawned conspiracy theories online and by elected leaders, but officials and experts say voter fraud is exceedingly rare.
