This fraudster tried to steal my vote! (Sort of)

By Brian Dickerson

James O’Keefe is a professional liar.

He just isn’t very good at it.

For the last four years, O’Keefe has been on a crusade to convince Americans that voter fraud poses a mortal threat to their democracy.

This week, the 32-year old conservative activist brought his social media circus to Southeast Michigan, where, in a whirlwind day of political theater, he and a female associate attempted to obtain primary ballots while posing consecutively as Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, Wayne State University Law School Dean Jocelyn Benson, and three members of the Free Press editorial board, including yours truly.

I wish I could muster some righteous indignation over this outrage. But the thing is, O'Keefe didn't get very far.

And as it turns out, he never does.
