O'Keefe is at it again, after bringing down acorn, hes now bringing down weak election laws. Isnt this proof of why voter ID laws need to be passed?
The investigation worked this way: O’Keefe and his team obtained names of recently deceased New Hampshirites through published obituaries, and used publicly available voter roll information to find dead people still on the voting rolls.
With that information, O’Keefe’s investigators went to the polls on Tuesday and requested ballots in the names of the deceased.
“Some of them died a few months ago, some of them died a few weeks ago,” he said.
In many cases, ballots were handed over by the poll workers without any skepticism. In only one case did a poll worker realize that the investigator wasn’t the person the ballot was meant for — because the woman giving out the ballots knew the dead person in question.
That incident made it into the Boston Herald.
In one instance, the sting artist told a poll worker that he voluntarily wants to show his ID. But the female poll worker responds that “the state says we’re not allowed to ask for identification.”
O’Keefe said the investigation stemmed from discovering that “there are people who have voted who are dead.”
“We found many, many people who are both dead and registered to vote. … How is it that dead people are voting? Someone’s committing fraud.”

Nothing gets by this guy. Sharp as a tack.“We found many, many people who are both dead and registered to vote. … How is it that dead people are voting? Someone’s committing fraud.”
I'm sure when I shuffle off this mortal coil I will be far too occupied with other and more agreeable matters than waiting around New Hampsire voting booths waiting to vote.

It wasn't actual people voting, it was someone doing an investigation.

Without having read the article it sounds a lot less like voter fraud was discoverd and more like O'Keefe founs a soft spot in the process.
When I hear "Voter fraud" I want to also hear the who, what, why, when and how of it....not "it could have happened".

It is interesting that despite all the claims of people possibly commiting fraud and all the hoopla about potential fraud, when it comes down to it Republicans get caught in actually engaging in voter fraud more than anyone else.How is it that dead people are voting? Someone’s committing fraud.”

Well the fraud is that poll workers gave out ballots to people who werent the registered voter.
Vice President
What O'Keefe and his minions did, is indeed, voter fraud. Bravo for bringing that to our attention, jviehe.
I hope that criminal, O'Keefe, gets arrested and tried to the fullest extent of the law.

The Republicans haven't been implicated in anything as far as this goes. This was one kid trying to make a statement independent of any Republican anything.

That is quite often part of the process. Here in AZ if you enter a polling place and request a ballot you get a ballot. It goes into the "provisional" pile and isn't counted unless it's deemed to be valid but you damned sure get one.
Unlike what apparently goes on in NH we do have to show ID at the poll and sign the register for a regular ballot.

This is the guy who perpetrated the acorn fraud. Why would anyone pay any attention to anything he says now?

I love how small gov't conservatism works.
Just small enough to pass laws forcing dead people to show i.d. before they vote.
Lovely.

O'Keefe is basically saying, "I see dead people....voting".
He claims that individuals are going into polling stations and getting ballots earmarked for people who happen to be dead and then voting with those ballots.
How much of this is actually happening?
