The Latest O'Keefe Video Is A Doozy: DNC Staffer Enabling Double Voting
2012-10-11
Article posted on the Daily Caller website at 10:57 a.m. yesterday. You will discover why this is important soon.
Videographer James O'Keefe's Project Veritas caught an official for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign helping who she thought was an Obama supporter set herself up to vote more than once in November.

O'Keefe claims in video that "wasn't the only exchange we recorded."

"We visited Organizing For America voter registration tables around New York and Organizing For America headquarters around the country," he said.

The video then cuts to a montage of different clips of Obama campaign volunteers and staffers all over the country helping O'Keefe's Project Veritas activists get set up to vote twice, a sign there's likely more to come.

The video ends with a challenge for the media: "Put your reputation on the line, journalists. Say this is an 'isolated incident.'"

The Daily Caller could not reach Caballero for comment, despite repeated calls to her cell phone.
See the six minute video at the link. Then the following was posted on PJ Tatler yesterday at 2:48 pm:
Second DNC Voter Fraud Video Hits; House Judiciary Chairman Calls For Firings
See second video at link.
The first video premiered online earlier today and showed an undercover reporter getting assistance from a DNC-paid Obama for America staffer in Houston, as she attempted to register to vote both in Texas and in Florida. The second shows undercover reporters replicating the voter fraud feat in Brooklyn, Minnesota and Florida.

Texas Rep. Lamar Smith, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, reacted to the videos by calling for the president to start firing staffers involved.

Registering to vote in more than one state is a criminal offense. Such a crime recently knocked a Maryland Democrat out of her race for the US House of Representatives.

O'Keefe closes the second video as he closed the first: With a taunt to journalists to declare that the voter fraud he is capturing in video can be chalked up to isolated incidents. More to come, I'm sure.
J. Christian Adams, formerly of the Justice Department's voting rights section, adds two interesting thoughts:
Obama campaign attorney Robert Bauer should be emailing memos to every paid staffer detailing 42 USC 1973i(e) and 42 USC § 1973gg--10(2). The former federal law makes it illegal to vote twice. The latter law prohibits fraudulent voting in a federal election. 18 USC 2 makes it illegal to aid and abet election fraud.

The new O'Keefe video raises the question -- how many other undercover videographers have penetrated the Obama campaign? O'Keefe obviously reached the heart of one operation. Who knows how many more Obama campaign offices are full of "volunteers" on the lookout for criminal behavior by other Obama campaign staffers?

#9  The awesome thing is that Breitbart sent the standard of getting a bunch of tapes together and releasing them slowly. Now the DNC has to assume they have a bunch of tapes and are probably scrambling. So if O'Keefe only has the two the damage is still done.

#8  ...well, if they use the term 'institutionalized racism' as an environment that encourages behaviors, then others can use the term 'institutionalized corruption' for similar organizational environments that encourage such behaviors.

#7  Consequences: Ms Caballero's services are no longer required, effective immediately.

And as Mr. O' Keefe has promised more, and more damning videos to follow, Life must be pretty interesting inside the heads of the staff and management of the DNC... all the way up. What an interesting prequel to tonight's debate.

#6  Perfect timing now that Hollywood (at least Dwight from the office and Sarah Silverman) have begun a campaign against Voter ID. Puts the lie to their ads and changes the post-election narrative if its close.

#4  P2K: This is something the political generals need to be hauled before Congress to explain! How's about Monday morning at 0900?

#3  Meanwhile the administration's apparatchiks are engaged in real voter suppression among the military.

#2  And in 2008, could this have happened then as well ?

#1  I hope O'Keefe had real good legal advice before running these stings - a lot of jurisdictions will contend they are violations of various wiretap or similar laws. Laws they will be far more interested in enforcing than voting laws.
