O‘Keefe Invokes ’Bill Maher’ In Another Video Showing How Easy Voter Fraud Could Be

In yet another installment in his campaign to show how easy it could be for someone to commit voter fraud — and the lack of wisdom in not having voter I.D. laws — James O’Keefe has released a video showing his undercover filmmakers seemingly being offered the ability to vote after they give poll workers the names of prominent media and political figures.

O‘Keefe’s crew hit polling places in Washington, D.C. during the district’s primary on April 3. The latest video targets Ben Jealous, the head of the NAACP, HBO host Bill Maher, and David Brock, leader of the left-wing organization Media Matters. However, as O’Keefe notes, Maher does not live in D.C. (but the undercover voter was offered a different Bill Maher’s ballot) and the group could not confirm that the David Brock in the district they filmed in is the same Brock involved with Media Matters.

The group also used a female videographer to give the name Alicia Menendez, daughter of New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez (D) and also a political commentator on MSNBC. Ironically, the poll worker said she needed ID:

We should note that The Blaze has been critical of O‘Keefe’s tactics in the past.

    I remember servicing many register of voter sites years ago and can tell you they took the job of voter integrity serious. It no longer looks that way in these videos and think this is a practice everywhere today. Meaning we need to bring integrity back and folks should be strictly trained, ID’s should be required without a doubt. As much as I would like to trust everyone I would sleep better at night knowing our voting is be safeguarded and treated as precious as anything can be to us.

      integrity? from barry? really?

      what you see in this video has been happening in ballot commissions through out the fifty states. a representative of the dnc tells them to put obama’s name on the ballot and they say sure thing! no ID, no birth certificate, no nothing.

      So, let’s review:
      1. no ID (or anything else) needed to vote at the polls.
      2. no ID (or anything else) needed for obama to get on the ballot.

      …….and you wonder why America is going down the tubes?

      I wonder who really won the last election. Do polls matter? Are the democrats stealing elections? We have illegals coming over the border, we have to show our ID to get on a plane and are subjected to searches. We, the americans, are the ones being discriminated against. Who are the “elected officials” and who do they represent?

      Come on folks it’s about time to call your Congress person and get a Federal law – requiring that you have to be a legal citizen – photo ID – You can only vote in your district – Can vote only once. If you are found to vote more that once be given a sentence of 1 month in the local jail. These folks don’t complain when they show proof to get welfare – food stamps or boose at local boose shop. These people in NYC lining up to get the Obama money are showing ID’s and giving out SSI numbers and their whole life history to get a $1,000.00 bucks.

    Like i’ve said before.. Make the Voter ID Law just for white voters.. Then there is no racists issue.. My theory is most whites vote anyway. Blacks are a small percentage of the voting block. Hispanics rarely cheat, the ones that are doing the cheating are White Liberals… Let’s see Ben Jailhouse defend that.. hahahaha…

    C’mon. Who, except for the useful idiots on the Left, believes that the requirement of a photo ID to vote is a conspiracy to disenfranchise anyone.

    The USDOJ requires a photo ID for every citizen to avail himself of his 2nd Amendment Right but obstructs the same requirement for the constitutional Right to Vote.

    Who but the liars and agitprops of the anti-America Left would deny that contradiction or deny the blatant political agenda of Progressive Socialists?

    The whole “voter ID laws are discriminatory” baloney is just hogwash.

    They‘re just scared that it’s going to severely hamper their ability to steal elections through voter fraud. So they’re trying to gin up phony outrage about how these laws are supposedly going to be discriminatory against certain groups. It’s total BS. You can’t do anything significant in this country without having to present some form of valid identification. There is absolutely no rational argument for not being required to present a valid ID for the absolutely MOST significant thing you can possibly do.

    In 2084, The Search for Love, Hope, and Faith, Newham predicted that 2010 would be the last free election, that the 2012 election would be stolen by fraud. My main issue is this: “Why would anybody be against a law that is supposed to prevent fraud unless they would like to commit fraud?” Also, how on Earth does showing an id suppress the vote exactly? I’ve always had to show ID when I vote, and I don’t have a problem with it.

    Maher is a very quick thinker, and I admire him for that, but he wastes that intellect on his very liberal small-minded perspective.

    It’s too bad he never really grew up beyond his Junior High School class clownsmanship. As good at it as he is, our country could use that horsepower on better pursuits. Unfortunately, he views his contribution as enough . . . and I view it as completely juvenile, insubstantial, even counterproductive.

    This is one of those ludicrous arguments that so clearly demonstrate that the left is full of it. The ONLY reason they don’t want voter laws is because of the underlying assumption that the democrats get more illegal votes than the republicans. If the conventional wisdom was the other way around they would be screaming for voter ID laws and calling replubicans every name in the book for fighting them on it.
