Pure Pubcrappe outrage of the hour- it all adds up to dishonest NOTHING, for tinfoil dupes only.
What's important is that O'Keefe has not shown a single vote being cast, let alone a second "double" vote. O'Keefe hasn't even shown a potential voter actually requesting an absentee ballot. At best he's demonstrated printer abuse.
Had O'Keefe's so-called reporter actually submitted an absentee ballot in Florida while also voting in Texas, she would have been subject to that state's heavy penalties -- a fine of up to $5,000 and five years in prison -- for submitting an absentee ballot in the state while also voting elsewhere.
In a second doctored video, released under the headline "Brooklyn, Minnesota, Florida -- Voter Fraud Continues," another so-called reporter approaches people identified as volunteers at a Brooklyn Obama event and claims that he wants registration forms because he intends to vote in two states. The staffer gives him forms for both himself and his friends. Those same forms can be found online, and must be submitted to New York election officials before an individual could actually be registered to vote -- which would need to take place before a single vote could be cast.
O'Keefe's video shows no voter registration forms being filled out and no votes being cast.
In the second video, O'Keefe also interviews Erin Haust, a woman who claims to still be registered to vote in Florida despite not living there and having asked to be taken off the voter rolls. Consistent with the rest of the video, Haust has not actually voted in two places and has not committed voter fraud.
Despite having failed to show a single person committing voter fraud, the video's description includes a link to a website named End Voter Fraud Now, in which people who have seen the video can sign a form letter to Attorney General Eric Holder claiming "I know that voter fraud is a widespread problem that will affect the outcome of the 2012 presidential election."
O'Keefe may "know that voter fraud is a widespread problem," but he has yet to prove it.
