NH Poll Workers shown handing out ballots in dead peoples' names.
Video footage provided exclusively to The Daily Caller shows election workers in New Hampshire giving out ballots in the names of dead voters at multiple voting precincts during the states primary election on Tuesday.
The bombshell video is the work of conservative filmmaker James OKeefe and his organization, Project Veritas.
Voters in the Granite State are not required to present identification to vote. OKeefes investigators were able to obtain ballots under the names of dead voters at polling locations Tuesday by simply asking for them, he said.
Live free or die, an election worker told one of the investigators in the video. This is New Hampshire. No ID needed.

In an interview with TheDC on Wednesday, OKeefe said the exposé shows how voter fraud can be easier to perpetrate when identification isnt required.
There is fraud going on and our goal is to visualize it for people, he said
OKeefe said he eventually plans to post full, unedited videos of the encounters. It shows the integrity of the elections process is severely comprised, the filmmaker said.
He said no laws were broken during the investigation and that his team members never claimed to be the dead people whose ballots they were trying to obtain. Instead, they carefully worded the way they asked for ballots, phrasing it like: Do you have Earnest Chavanelle? and Do you have Paul Soucy?
We decided to go in there without using any false pretenses, he said. Theres no misrepresentation in these videos if you watch them we didnt lie about who we were.
The investigators never actually voted when they were given ballots. Sting artists who received ballots would leave the voting precincts after saying they left their identification in the car.
We were very careful about that, he said.
The investigation worked this way: OKeefe and his team obtained names of recently deceased New Hampshirites through published obituaries, and used publicly available voter roll information to find dead people still on the voting rolls.
With that information, OKeefes investigators went to the polls on Tuesday and requested ballots in the names of the deceased.
