O'Keefe Films DNC Employee at OFA-Houston Helping Woman Vote Twice; More to Come






By Tom Blumer | October 10, 2012 | 12:47

James O'Keefe's Project Veritas has done it again -- with, as is usually the case with his efforts, apparently more to come.

His latest effort, a six-minute video (direct YouTube link) which near its end taunts the establishment press ("Put your reputation on the line, journalists. Say this is an "isolated incident"), "exposes Obama campaign workers, including a Regional Field Director at Organizing for America (OFA), engaged in election fraud."

He promises that the video "will have you outraged at the illegal activity going on behind the scenes of President Obama's re-election effort - and we're just getting started!"

He's definitely right about generating outrage, at least in me:

video of fraud..........go to link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q_iJfnbMzI0

Here is just a bit of Matthew Boyle's "read the whole thing" post at the Daily Caller about O'Keefe's latest:


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.

Stephanie Caballero is the regional field director for Obama’s Organizing For America in Houston, Texas. Federal Election Commission documents show, according to Project Veritas, that Caballero is a “salaried employee of the DNC [Democratic National Committee].”

Caballero is caught on camera helping the young woman try to vote in Florida and Texas in the upcoming election.

... (in the video) O’Keefe then “a few weeks later,” his videographer went back to the office to follow up. Caballero gave her a Florida absentee ballot application to “help her vote twice.”

After Caballero sets the videographer up to vote in Florida, she asked the Project Veritas investigator: “Are you going to do what I think you’re going do?”

The videographer responded: “Well, I mean, if no one’s gonna know…”

Caballero audibly laughed, then said: “You’re so hilarious!”

As to the "we're just getting started!" assertion, the video's end teases what appear to be a future episode of a person who wants to vote in both Minnesota and New York, and also appears to promise to show proof of disparate treatment of those involved in registering voters, depending on whether they self-identify as Democrats or Republicans.

On the one hand, I can't wait. On the other hand, it is really disconcerting to see how casual about everything these lawbreakers are.

Perhaps this is how Todd thinks Obama will get to 270.

Anyone who trumpets up the trumped up claims of "fraud", of which there are very, very little actual instances, while supporting the actual disenfranshisment of thousands and thousands of actual American voters...is a fraud themselves...a fraudulent American.

Fish on...

Todd

So strange that you have to show 3 forms of ID to get a job but not to vote. The trumped up disenfranshisment of thousands and thousands of actual American voters doesn't stand the light of day. The poor can't afford to get a drivers license or ID so how can they get a job without proper ID?

Irrelevant, Hank...are you saying you support Americans not getting to exercise their right to vote if they don't have whatever ID a state is asking for?

Please don't even pretend that you believe the intent of those laws is to protect the vote from fraud, and that it's not intended to do exactly what PA's Governor said it was for...to disenfranchise Democratic voters.

Even pretending otherwise for one second is a pile of horseshit, and you know it, and there is nothing...nothing...more un-American than trying to stop Americans from exercising the most fundamental American right, that of voting.

Fish on...

Todd

i wonder who this 71% are. i have never been ask or talked to anyone that has been ask about this.

do anyone of you know a person who has been asked about this?

Your fullofshit, and you know it, and it's obvious.

The intent...sole intent...is to stop Americans from voting...and those who support that are not Americans, they're assholes, and they know it, too, which is why they always react like children when called on it.

Fish on...

Todd

Horseshit.

You guys are confusing "it's easy to comply" with "why is the rule there at all?".

The rules are proposed to stop people from voting...even the proponents admit it when they think the cameras aren't watching (which also shows how stupid they are, the cameras are always watching).

Fish on...

Todd

The voter ID laws are purporting to solve a problem that doesn't even exist...which is why you have to ask "why are they attempting to pass them at all?".

Since there is no actual voter fraud, then what are they trying to accomplish?

Putting obstacles in the way of a fundamental American right like voting to solve a nonexistent problem should be distressing to every single American...well, Americans that believe in America and the rights that come with being an American, that is.

The rest would be better off in North Korea.

Fish on...

Todd

You already know its done thru polling. It would not surprise me, if it was higher. The minority shouts the loudest and always claims to represent the People

This is not about keep americans from voting. It to keep felons and illegal aliens from voting and keeping democrats from voting twice. In two or more states.

Todd.......


You looking for another sig line, fool?

the biggest case of voter fraud seems to be in Florida bought and paid for by the republican party

[Bleeeeep!]. Over 1000 felons were allowed to vote and they voted heavily for Al Franken, who won by 312 votes. Its the same reason democrats want convicts serving time, to be able to vote. Cause democrats are soft on crime. They dont care how they win. They have been convicted of voting in two states, buying votes, and of course supporting acorn with tax dollars to do their work for them. It makes me wonder how you were ever serious about the law.

http://washingtonexaminer.com/york-when-1099-felons-vote-in-race-won-by-312-ballots/article/2504163

You dont care how you win, its obvious, and you know it, and thats saying somethin. Only if your candidates were losing would you care. ID was required in Wa. So they have a voting problem in seattle or the county and the election manager moves to california, while they stick the rest of us, with vote by mail. I wait till the last day, so do thousand, because I dont want my ballot hidden away. Gregoire kept counting until she won. Out of state money paid for her recount. Win at all cost, the ends, justifies the means.

Do those convicted felons have proper ID?

Yes, they do...would they have been able to vote, law or no?

Yes, most of them would.

The rest of your post is utter garbage regurgitated directly from right wing fruitcake idiotology.

Fish on...

Todd

Perhaps you can link the independent recounts that show Gore won?

He would have if tens of thousands of eligible voters, nearly all black, had not been disenfranchised by the State of Florida's Republican Party.

The fact that you're willing to accept a voter suppression law to solve a problem that doesn't even exist, but don't mind seeing tens of thousands of American voters having their votes thrown in the garbage shows just what an unAmerican jackass you are.

When I mentioned those who would be better off in North Korea, I was talking to you.

Fish on...

Todd

Those same disenfranchised voters would show I'd all day long for something free but cannot muster up an ID card to vote.

There is a process they have to go thru to get voting rights back. If they do that, I have no problem with it. Minnesota felons apparently were not qualified to vote.

The irony here is that, people who drop out of society and work off the clock, run from the law etc, probably wont vote. More than likely, they are the people who are used to fraudulently elect people and never know about it. According to some new reports, Both Obama and Clinton failed to qualify for the ballot in a couple areas. Thaddeus McCotter resigned for the same reason.

If you should not need ID, what prevents democrats from driving across state line and voting again?

Like activist judges they are only disenfranchised when they're prevented from illegally voting for the candidate the dems like.

I think that is important to not let non citizens vote. Non citizens voting dilutes my vote.

If you really want to stop "voter fraud", we should start with the paperless mystery machines.

"The Ends, justifies the means."

Total govt control.

The concept is simple and important to prevent fraud by requiring ID.....the devil's in the details. With so many absentee voters, perhaps a visit once during any year they want to vote to verify their ID before a ballot is mailed to them from the Auditor's Office might do it. Any other ideas?

If you support voter ID laws, and this is the extent of your concern over protecting the veracity and integrity of the vote, then you are a hypocritical unAmerican.

That's all there is to it.

Now if you happen to be offended by the disenfranchisement of tens of thousands of voters (who just happen to be black, mostly, but just as American as you...), then I'll at least listen to your idea.

If you didn't have a problem with what happened in FL and think that voter fraud is a problem, then hit the beach and swim to North Korea...your style of democracy would fit in fine there.

Fish on...

Todd

last paragraph....

California has the nation’s largest population of illegal immigrants—mostly from Mexico—and taxpayers take a huge hit to pay for their education, incarceration and medical care. In healthcare alone, Los Angeles County blows about $400 million annually on illegal aliens, according to figures published a few years ago by the Department of Social Services. Welfare and food stamps add another $440 million and incarceration $244 million, according to the agency’s figures.

Well then I'll guess you'll have to listen. I think ALL legal Americans should be able to vote....no exceptions. So the question is, "HOW" to make that happen. Not requiring some sort of verification is not an acceptable answer......balls in your court.

and leave fkn N Korea out of it....

The problem, Slab, is that voter ID laws are the "answer" to a problem that doesn't exist.

Since it doesn't exist, what's the point of having it?

What if 3 people who aren't supposed to vote get stopped by a voter ID law, but 3000 people who should be able to vote are stopped, too?

That's how it is with voter ID laws.

Know this...if you support voter ID laws you are not supporting making sure a bunch of illegals and felons don't vote...you are supporting that thousands of those who should be allowed to vote may not be able to do so.

What does more damage to the American way? A handful of people who shouldn't vote sneaking in and voting, or thousands of people who should vote being disenfranchised?

The answer is easy:

If you are an American, then you should make sure that everyone who is allowed to vote does, even if a few extras get in there.

If you are a supporter of the voter ID laws, then you are supporting making sure that thousands who should vote, don't, in the name of a few fraudsters.

Todd,

The mindset that supports stopping a few fraudulent voters at the expense of disenfranchising many legitimate voters are usually OK with capitol punishment killing a few innocent convicts in the process of killing the guilty ones. The end justifies the means.

Sg

In this case the "end" is keeping thousands of Democrats from voting for Democratic candidates at the altar of pretend voter fraud.

To pretend otherwise is to stick your head right up your ass.

Fish on...

Todd

No argument there. What could be more important to 'Merica than preventing voters from electing Democrats?

"If you are a supporter of the voter ID laws, then you are supporting making sure that thousands who should vote, don't, in the name of a few fraudsters."

If you are referring to voting this year, I'd agree.....time's too short.
If you are referring to some future date....then I don't agree. Why do you think that requiring ID is not feasible?

I read an article that stated UFO sightings occur more frequent than proven voter fraud. Although I agree some sort of proof of citizenship/eligibility to vote should be required just not sure how you could make it available to 100%.

It's not that it's not feasible.

It's that there is no need for it. There is no measurable voter fraud...and by 'voter fraud', I mean voters who will vote, but would be stopped by the ID laws.

It's so few as to be "zero".

The downside, of course, is that thousands of actual legitimate voters will be stopped from voting.

Those voters are, by and large, Democratic voters.

And that is the point of the entire exercise.

Fish on...

Todd

Those pushing the laws, and those here supporting them, by and large, understand that.

If they feel good about what they are doing, then they should just do what the Pennsylvania Governor did and admit it...they are supporting the laws in order to disenfranchise Democratic voters.

Fish on...

Todd

Why would they be democrats. Poor? Uneducated? What states would they happen to live in?

Black, mostly, and in the case of Florida, have names somewhat similar to a convict (even if they themselves have never even had a parking ticket).

That's all it took to have tens of thousands of them scrubbed from the rolls, in an election year where several hundred votes in FL got GWB appointed President.

Fish on...

Todd

If you're actually worried about voter fraud, and aren't deeply concerned about that...then like I said, you and your opinion would be better off in North Korea where that type of schit is the norm.

I'm against fraudulent voting. No question.

I'm also against disenfranchisement of voters, for any reason. No question about that either.

There's clearly a relationship between them---the more stringently we try to defeat fraudulent voting--the more people we disenfranchise... Let's for the sake of argument assume a fraudulent vote is roughly worth a disenfranchised vote. Now it's just a math problem...

If you defeat MORE fraud than the votes you disenfranchise--you get my support. At present the rules we're discussing seem like that's not true -- we're disenfranchising MORE people than the fraud we're preventing.

Those of you in support of these voter ID laws... Catchy phrases not-withstanding ... do you think a fraudulent vote prevented is worth MORE than a disenfranchised vote? 2x as much? 3x as much? What's your math on this?

B

The math is simple, Brian...it's minorities and poor folks who will have the hardest time satisfying the voter ID laws, and they tend to vote Democratic...so yes, it's worth disenfranchising several thousand to prevent the mythical voter fraud.

If it were rich white guys being disenfranchised this would never be an issue.

"Someone". Code for republican or maybe some moveon.org patriot or Occupiers, who wants to set up an October surprise. Lets google how many Teaparty members are in those states, then just narrow it down from there. Lets ask a great mind, like Ted Kaczynski.

Why now the intense assertion that voters have two forms of ID? Why was this not brought up two years ago? Why not four twelve years ago?

I am all for having voters ID'd but this sure smacks of party politics when these things are brought up right at the goal line.

If this is not party politics then let's do it right and create national guidelines and set a precedent that can be followed and adhered to with enough time BEFORE an election, not some ad-hock mess and right before a national election.

It has nothing to do with how easy it is to get one.

It has to do with purporting to need one in order to solve a problem that doesn't exist, and the pushers of these laws know that they are pretending to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

Add one check box on a list somewhere to get a gun and the right wing fruitcakes will scream bloody murder about their rights...make it harder to vote...to vote, in the United States of America...and those same right wing nuts think it's just fine.

Why? Well...because they're right wing nuts.

P.S. And liars.

Is ANYONE in favor of this Voter ID stuff willing to say the ratio they believe is right? What ratio would you support of:

Fraudulent votes prevented vs. Disenfranchised voters as a result of increased scrutiny?

I'm 1:1. If you can convince me you're preventing more fraud than your disenfranchising, you got me.

What is your ratio?

I always love seeing someone trying to use "big words" and missing the mark. I'm guessing you meant "empathetic", brah.

I'm kinda' where you are IR. I've not seen anything indicating voter fraud is a genuine issue.

Its been an issue for a long time. Chicago is a joke. Nixon chose not to contest a couple states when he lost to kennedy.

Todd is just wrong on the subject. John Fund has written books on voter fraud. You dont get published on that subject, if its not happening. Did you forget about all the people from Acorn who went to jail?
http://www.amazon.com/Stealing-Elections-Voter-Threatens-Democracy/dp/1594032246

You can highlite the book and read a partial contents. Including contents and various subjects in the book online. Quite a bit.

You're right the word should have been empathetic. Typing on the phone can be hard (auto correction) but thanks for your concern bro......

The only bullsh.it term thrown around on this thread that DOES NOT exist is disenfranchised.

Disenfranchised means "lazy, welfare POS". To think there are not mechanisms in place to allow those that WANT to vote is utter bullch.it.

So to answer IR's question I'm also a 1:1 and since "disenfranchised" does NOT exist and voter fraud does there is in fact a problem.

I see some fairly poor and lazy folks and I've yet to see one without some sort of ID.....ever...even when working EMS. Nowadays if an ID is not valid and someone wants a loan or to sell they'll go and get one if they want something bad enough.

Every fraudulent vote equals an opposing vote being cancelled out, in other words (disenfranchised), so your 1:1 ratio is baked in the cake.
