Origin: O'keefe Charged With Election Fraud
Hennepin County prosecutors filed felony charges against James O’Keefe and Cam Higby for unlawful voting and identity theft. The case stems from their conduct at Minneapolis polling places during Minnesota’s August primary.
Prosecutors say the pair went into precincts disguised in clothing they described as Muslim attire, used the names of registered voters and attempted to vote. They recorded the interactions with hidden cameras and later posted the videos online.
The stunt targeted Minnesota’s “vouching” system, which lets a registered voter in the same precinct swear that others live there so they can register and vote on Election Day without showing identification. The filings turn those August videos into a criminal case over impersonating voters.
