Project Veritas stings New Hampshire Voter ID-less laws.

And I hope that they have good lawyers. REAL good lawyers.

RESIZE: AAA

Contrary to Matt Lewis, this is not unbelievable.  This is why we insist on Voter ID laws.

To summarize the video, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas sent a couple of people to New Hampshire primary polling places claiming that they were individuals that had actually died in the last couple months.  They were, of course, secretly filming the proceedings… and came away with footage of multiple occasions where the poll workers let them have the ballot.  Note, by the way, that every video clip ends with the Veritas people giving back the ballot without actually voting: I don’t know whether that will actually protect the group from being accused of voter fraud, but then that’s why we have a court system.  At any rate, the video ends with some poor sacrificial lamb of a ward coordinator confidently assuring the Project Veritas people that nobody could get away with what the Project Veritas people just did.

Now, let’s be clear: those nice old people running the polling stations?  They’re not actively involved in a secret conspiracy to defraud the voting public.  They’re instead volunteers who are not only not obligated to require photo ID from voters; they’re actively forbidden from asking for any.  And they’re using printouts, not computers, which means by definition that the records are going to be out of date.  And that means that if you want to double-vote in New Hampshire, all you need to know is the name and address of somebody still on the voting rolls who you know isn’t going to vote.

Which we knew already: but it’s instructive to watch, yes?

    And our spineless super majority in the NH Senate failed to override the veto.

    Really sock it to the Demmies over vote fraud.

  • meh130

    Check out the New Hampshire Ward Moderator near the end of the video. Who spells their name “Ryk”? And what is up with his hair?

  • submariner45

    I’m not advocating that conservatives should do this, but I can guarantee you, if you wanted ID laws in all 50 states, you would start some conservative ACORN-type groups that pushed the envelope and you’d finally see a bipartisan effort to fix this.

    But as long as it benefits only the Democrats, they’ll do everything in their power to stonewall this.

  • ctredstater

    a well publicized, robust national state-by-state Tea Party Voter Registration Drive might do the trick.

  • piamama

    I can only assume that the poll workers have no dates of birth on their voter lists since some of the “dead voters” would be in their 80′s & 90′s. James O’Keefe and his Veritas group who were requesting their ballots are obviously under 50 yrs. old.
    If we want to “Live free or die” we should be sure that only legitimate voters are casting votes.

    Where is the Marxist Media on this? This video should be played at the next Congressional hearing on voter ID.

    Yes. I know. It’s all a dream.

  • Russ Martin

    has been going on, by the thousands, or even tens of thousands, in every state in the country?

    Imagine a vanload of people with newspapers, checking the obits, and driving people from precinct to precinct on election day. A single group of operatives could cast literally hundreds of votes on a given election day. In large cities, it would be simple to cast enough fake ballots to change the results – even in a race that wouldn’t have otherwise been close in a fair election.

    Until we get voter ID in every state, I guess we’ll have to rely on the honor and integrity of our democratic friends to ensure that this has not happened in the past, and will not happen in the future.

    and if, as I hope, they try it in Chicago, I hope they’ve got *really* good security…

    …NH is a two-party consent state for recording conversations, and so I expect they’re going to be up on charges for this. Also for fraudulently obtaining ballots.

    A bold move by O’Keefe, but also a dumb one.

  • mustango

    So I’ll give you the chance to say you may be confusing this with the two-party law regarding the recording of *telephone* conversations.

    As for the ballot fraud business, I’ll expect those charges to be filed right after the ones for child prostitution based on the ACORN sting video.

    ….I’ve been thinking about putting one together. As a poll worker, I’m very aware of how easy it would be to commit voter fraud on a massive scale.

    If any Ohio election officials are reading….just kidding, right? : )

  • acat

    Write the guide *for poll watchers*, write it as in “This is the fraud, this is what to do to block it.”

    as a ballot inspector yesterday. I had a few women come up to me and tell me that there spouse had passed away and to have the name removed from the checklist. So I asked the supervisor of the checklist about what to do. She gave me a couple of green cards which are used to change a voter registration and have to be signed. Since one of the individuals had left it was already too late but I did give out the others I had.

    I will add this. In NH the checklist is updated on the candidate filing date which was in October. So any deaths that occurred after that would still be on the checklist. If you watch the video you will notice the deaths were recent, like the last two months.

    I hope the filmmaker of this video gets himself a lawyer. He broke NH’s stupid wiretapping statute that protects criminals, dirty cops and crooked politicians. He ran afoul of the Maximum leader of the NH Presidential primary Sec of State Bill Gardner and the Democrat AG who refuses to join the Obama-care lawsuit. There will be no doubt hell to pay for exposing potential vote fraud.

    but when my husband died here in Texas, I went to vote the following month and to let them know that he had passed away. They already knew since he was removed from their lists. I really appreciated that.

    I wouldn’t want to be a loved one of the recently deceased having to watch this video or worse finding out a deceased family member voted in an election.

    I will be in touch with my State Reps about a better purging system and of course voter id. We were close to a veto override of Dem Gov Lynch’s veto of voter ID.

  • pttx333

    you to do. I don’t know the process here in Texas, but it is certainly working just fine. Perhaps it was notification from the funeral home, perhaps they read the obits, perhaps they have a state database … I just don’t know. But I didn’t have to lift a finger. When a loved one dies, the last the family is thinking about is notifying all of the necessary entities.

    It would have been devastating to have learned that he had died and then voted … I’m afraid I would have gone postal with someone! Maybe you can make a difference there in NH – good luck with it!

  • trevorb

    when I die, I’m going to have a marker on my tombstone that says: “I Vote Republican”.

  • pttx333

    to be in right now, it might be better to say “I Vote Conservative.” ;-)

  • weyland

    …especially when you appear to be wrong. The wiretapping laws apply not only to telephone conversations, but also to audio tracks obtained as part of video recordings.

    Hoist on your own petard?

  • Adjoran

    in South Carolina’s last election.

    Not ‘were still on the rolls,’ VOTED.

    Yet Holder blocked the Voter ID law.
