James O'Keefe's video about N.C. voting called incorrect, 'infuriating'.

"I don't even know what to say, except that it makes you feel violated," said Winifred Bolton of Raleigh. She is the widow of Michael G. Bolton, who died of cancer April 23 at age 63.

he's a dishonest and untalented two-bit hack, but IMO he's only a pawn in their game
