Did anyone else receive this email: James O'Keefe operatives commit fraud in New Hampshire last Tues
Attorney General Delaney and U.S. Attorney Kacavas:
According to news reports, James O'Keefe sent undercover operatives to commit fraud in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary. They went to polling stations, falsely presented themselves, and requested ballots under the names of recently deceased voters a violation of state and federal law.
O'Keefe badly wants to convince Americans that voter fraud an extremely rare phenomenon is a pressing threat to our democracy. So badly, in fact, that he reportedly sent his own agents out to commit fraud. The reason is simple he wants fewer Americans to vote.
Fortunately we already have state and federal laws that prevent and punish voter fraud while allowing eligible Americans to cast their ballots. We call on you to enforce these laws and thoroughly investigate the actions of James O'Keefe and his operatives.http://campaigns.dailykos.com/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=57
I received that in an email.

Now if we can just make election fraud as difficult to get away with.

Has anyone though of a messaging campaign? Has it been done yet?

(9,997 posts)Teabagers have been agitating for voter ID laws, and they tried for a boost from this. More BS from "Bully" O'Brien, ALEC's main man here, along with his asshole buddy DJ Bettencourt. Many have pointed out that without O'Keefe and pals, we wouldn't have any voter fraud.

(8,267 posts)The only voter fraud we need to worry about is the fraud committed through the use of electronic touch-screen voting machines.
Won't someone PUH-LEEEEZE put that pathetic O'Keefe child in prison, where he belongs?
