Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who announced the charges at a news conference, accused the pair of entering polling places during state primary election voting on Aug. 11 and identifying themselves using names of registered voters in those precincts without those voters’ knowledge or permission.
“Both men stopped short of signing the oath we all sign before receiving our ballot,” she said. “But Minnesota law states clearly that no individual shall intentionally misrepresent their identity in applying for a ballot.”
The pair of influencers disguised themselves and recorded themselves going undercover using hidden cameras at the polling places. They posted videos capturing their interactions on social media in August. O’Keefe said in a post on X that they dressed in “Muslim garb” — including, for one of them, a full-face veil known as a niqab — and their goal was to “expose the sheer lunacy of Minnesota’s ‘vouching’ system.”
It's always the ones you most expect.
and their goal was to “expose the sheer lunacy of Minnesota’s ‘vouching’ system.”
They're gonna claim they were trying to uncover fraud, as directed by Trump's bounty system.
So if this asshole gets prosecuted, does someone win a million bucks from Trump?
They can claim all the want, what matters is what they did.
Known fraud demonstrates why voter fraud basically never happens, hopefully rots in jail.
I dunno how onerous the usual punishment is for trying this - but any judge should see a pattern of abusive recidivism. He's not going to learn unless you hit him harder. Or maybe he'll never learn, and it's for everyone's benefit if his dumb ass is kept off the streets.
Come on now, O'Keefe has such a bright future, the judge can't ruin that.
lol, Betty White
