Federal law enforcement is conducting investigations into voter registration activities in California and Ohio, according to multiple reports and official statements.

In California, Senator Rick Scott of Florida has called for a Justice Department investigation into a case involving a woman who allegedly paid homeless individuals on Los Angeles' Skid Row to register to vote. Scott sent a letter Friday to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon requesting further investigation into the matter.

Separately, FBI agents executed a search warrant at the offices of an Ohio-based voting rights organization known for conducting voter registration work. Sources familiar with the matter told CBS News that the search is part of an ongoing fraud-related investigation, though specific details about the nature of the alleged fraud were not immediately available.

A board member with the Ohio organization confirmed that members had been served with search warrants, but the exact scope of what investigators were seeking remains unclear. The group has been active in voter registration efforts in the state.

Both investigations appear to be in early stages, with law enforcement agencies declining to provide additional details about their ongoing work. The cases highlight increased scrutiny of voter registration activities across multiple states.
