Fact Check: Is Nick Shirley's claim illegal voters registered at California UPS store true?
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA: California has been a major focus for medical and healthcare fraud investigations and enforcement in recent years, particularly involving Medi-Cal, Medicare, hospice care, home health services, and related schemes.
Recently, YouTuber Nick Shirley claimed that more than 30 people illegally registered to vote at the same United Parcel Service (UPS) location in San Diego. But is there any truth to his claim? Let us find out below.
Claim: People illegally registered to vote at a California UPS store
Nick Shirley shared a video on his YouTube channel and other social media accounts last month, where he said, "Here in California at this UPS store in San Diego, over 30 people are registered to vote, as this is their primary residence", as he stood outside the store holding a stack of papers.
He repeated the claim in the caption and wrote, "It is illegal to list a PO Box as your domicile address (which appears on the voter roll). You can receive a ballot at a PO Box, but it cannot be the domicile address, which over 30 of them were. Errors and suspected fraudulent activity is everywhere in California voter rolls."

The clip went viral across social media platforms ahead of President Donald Trump's 2026 State of the Union address, which Shirley attended as a guest.
Moreover, Republican US Senator Mike Lee and Donald Trump Jr further amplified the clip to their followers on social media. Trump Jr wrote, "It never ends. Imagine if the mainstream media actually spent even a few minutes looking into any of these things???"

Fact Check: False, no evidence to back the claim
The claims made by Nick Shirley in his video are false, as there is no evidence of any fraudulent voter registrations at UPS.
The store in Shirley's video is located at 4142 Adams Avenue in San Diego, and online searches confirm the store is part of a multi-use development that also includes Kensington Commons, an apartment complex housing 34 units.
Moreover, Antonia Hutzell, a spokesperson for the San Diego County registrar of voters, told an outlet, "Our records indicate that there are no registered voters at The UPS Store located at 4142 Adams Ave., Ste. 103, San Diego, CA 92116."
She mentioned in the email, "The building at this address is a multi-use structure, containing both commercial businesses and residential units above."
Furthermore, the California secretary of state's office said in a February 24 email that "none of the voters registered to vote at the building referenced in the social media posts are registered to vote with the UPS Store's Suite 103 number."
"They are registered to vote in one of the apartments at that building. The Kensington Commons website indicates there are 34 apartments in that building, and the voters registered to vote at that address all have suite numbers for apartments at that building," the office mentioned.
