O’Keefe Voter Fraud Stunt Confused 23-Year-Old For Dead 84-Year-Old

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/01/okeefe_voter_fraud_stunt_confused_23-year-old_for_dead_84-year-old.php

Robert William Beaulieu is 23-years-old, lives in Nashua, New Hampshire, and is a registered Democrat. He’s also very much not dead.

But you wouldn’t have known that if you watched the lastest undercover sting video from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, which featured a man with an Irish accent attempting to obtain a ballot on behalf of a Robert Beaulieu who lives on Cassandra Lane.

That’s the home University of New Hampshire graduate Robert W. Beaulieu, pictured above, shares with his parents. Robert P. Beaulieu, unrelated, died a few months back at the age of 84, and is apparently the man Project Vertitas’ investigator intended to impersonate. By all appearances, they got the wrong guy.

“I found out they were actually talking about me and not the man who passed away in October,” Robert W. Beaulieu told TPM. “The funny thing is, if they’d done any research, they would have found out the guy’s middle name is Paul and the guy specifically goes looking for William.”

happening here. Look the other way.

Really. This is like robbing a bank and then going outside and saying, "I told you the security was lax". Total BS!

"Beaulieu said that he reached out to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office but said he was brushed off. “I think they just want it to go away,” he said."


How utterly ridiculous. They stole this mans identity, the proof is available in video form, provided by the perpetrators themselves for public consumption, and the AG won't even talk to him.
