Video: O'Keefe now being investigated for showing how easy it is to commit Voter Fraud?

When a man with James O'Keefe's Project Veritas was nearly able to obtain Attorney General Eric Holder's ballot at a polling station, it revealed a major flaw. However, instead of having any interest in correcting that flaw, Washington D.C. election officials are investigating... O'Keefe. It is apparently a crime, punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 and five years in prison, to pretend to vote as someone other than yourself.

This news report doesn't do a very good job of clarifying that the man representing O'Keefe's group never once claimed he was Eric Holder or even attempted to get his ballot.

Via Breitbart:



O'Keefe has now responded to the news that he may be investigated:

“[He] simply asked the question ‘Do you have an Eric Holder?’” O'Keefe said in an exclusive statement to Breitbart.com.

“The voting procedures within our nation’s capital then allowed for a ballot to be offered without verification. The automatic response of the D.C. Board of Elections is to shoot the messenger rather than addressing the issues of integrity within their own election process.”

O'Keefe and Project Veritas have carried out similar stings in other states, prompting legislatures to pass voter ID laws that protect all citizens from effective disenfranchisement.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice is still silent on the New Black Panther Party's $10,000 bounty on a private citizen.
