James OKeefe Scams Voter Fraud and Voter ID Laws Into Existence
I told myself I wasnt going to write about James OKeefe, mostly because his sophomoric pranks are mostly for the net effect of making his pockets fat. He has his hands out, and Im not trying to help him get paid. I no more want to discuss voting by reference of OKeefe than I want to write about Middle East affairs by reference of Sacha Baron Cohen in The Dictator.
But his influence on voting rights opponents and legislators alike is particularly jarring. When you hear activists and state senators say we need voter ID laws because of voter fraud, instead of citing data, or even anecdotes, lately theyve been citing OKeefe. When I was in Houston at the True the Vote conference I was hardly surprised when the audience erupted in applause as OKeefe took the podium. You wouldve thought Tim Tebow entered the room. And sure enough, he presented one of his Project Veritas videos of himself telling unsuspecting poll workers in Minnesota that he wanted to register Timothy Tebow to vote before given a stack of voter registration applications.
