Our favorite conservative clown with hidden money propping him up has struck again:
In a new video, a member of James O’Keefe’s “Project Veritas” manages to enter a D.C. polling station and receive a ballot for none other than Attorney General Eric Holder, simply by providing Holder’s address.
Oh noez! This means there’s an epidemic of this sort of thing going on! Or so O’Keefe and his sugar daddies would have us believe. What they don’t tell you is that the penalties for doing this sort of voter fraud are so severe that no sane human, much less a group of sane humans, is going to attempt it very often. As the Brennan Center for Justice explains:
Because voter fraud is essentially irrational, it is not surprising that no credible evidence suggests a voter fraud epidemic. There is no documented wave or trend of individuals voting multiple times, voting as someone else, or voting despite knowing that they are ineligible. Indeed, evidence from the microscopically scrutinized 2004 gubernatorial election in Washington State actually reveals just the opposite: though voter fraud does happen, it happens approximately 0.0009% of the time. The similarly closely-analyzed 2004 election in Ohio revealed a voter fraud rate of 0.00004%. National Weather Service data shows that Americans are struck and killed by lightning about as often.
That’s right, folks: Even with all the silly stunts financed by right-wing fellow travelers of the ALEC geniuses who gave us the “Voter ID” model bills in the first place, your chances of seeing voter fraud are right down there with your chances of being struck by lightning. There’s a far greater chance in my opinion that these stunts are being done in violation of O’Keefe’s parole, but since DoJ is unwilling to risk making him a pseudomartyr, he gets to skate. For now.

What pleasant right-winger got appointed JOK3′s parole officer? How does he get away with this stuff? And why hasn’t the violator on film been arrested? Just because one person does it, and “gets away with it” doesn’t mean it’s happening everywhere.
But the right will eat this up, and Team Obama will fear to tread.
Once again, IOKIYAAR on parole.
Exactly. Pseudomartyr Away! A nice legal case should uncover the people bankrolling O’Keefe’s operation — the one thing he likely fears above all else.
Wouldn’t the one bankrolling O’Keefe, be the technical ring-leader of this documented voter fraud conspiracy?
I guess Breitbart isn’t bankrolling him any longer.
I’ll believe that when I read it in Breitbart’s will.
Where there is a will……….
Interesting that Holder doesn’t even get to vote for his boss.
Let us do some investigating of corrupt election practices. We need to begin with Diebold Vote Fraud Machines.
We can move next to corrupt, Teabagger Attorney Generals such as Kris Kobach. They are carrying out a War Against Voting because they have been bribed with Koch Brothers money.
Then we can look at those money laundering organizations called Political Action Committees.
“the penalties for doing this sort of voter fraud are so severe”
Thanks for the laugh, PW. Life without parole and the death penalty are pretty “severe,” so naturally no one ever commits murder…
Oh, btw, Watt4Bob: sorry to disappoint but since he didn’t actually cast the vote there was no fraud.
In my line of work we call this “proof of concept.”
If James violates parole he goes to jail for the full term of his original sentence plus what ever he gets in court for the parole violation.
Parole officers also are suppose to make home visits no warrant needed to enter a home that means access to James’s papers and film’s in progress since that was the nature of his past crime.
Also he can’t leave the state without approval from his parole officer.
Can James piss in the cup with head held high? Was he ever browsing websites for a whinzzinator?
In 2006, a Pittsburgh-area woman and her friend were charged with disorderly conduct and criminal mischief after they asked a convenience store clerk to microwave one of the devices so the woman could pass a drug test. The clerk, thinking it was a real penis, called police. The couple were required to reimburse the chain for the cost of a new microwave; OSHA regulations do not allow microwaves to be used once bodily fluids have been in them.
You can’t make this up…
I’m curious: what exactly is the difference between O’Keefe and Gawker’s “FOX Mole”?
