Defiant: O’Keefe Team Offered Media Matters, NAACP Ballots
Breitbart ^ | 4/16/12 | Breitbart News

Posted on 04/16/2012 11:05:19 AM PDT by Nachum

James O’Keefe and Project Veritas are back for more.

In the aftermath of James O’Keefe’s shock video showing a young white man strolling into a polling place in Washington DC and promptly being offered Attorney General Eric Holder’s ballot, the District of Columbia Board of Elections acted … by condemning O’Keefe. Board chairwoman Deborah Nichols railed:

“I have directed our attorneys to conduct a thorough investigation and refer all evidence to law enforcement authorities for appropriate action. Our polling places are open to the media and observers who want to legally document our procedures for checking in voters. There is never any justification for disrupting the voting process with fraudulent activity. We will take any and all appropriate actions to ensure the integrity of our voting process and we will vigorously seek to hold anyone and everyone accountable for interference with that process to the fullest extent permitted by law.”

Reporting and observing on the implementation of the voting process is, of course, precisely what O’Keefe and Project Veritas were doing. But that was of no consequence to the DC Board of Elections, which was more interested in “shooting the messenger,” as O’Keefe put it.

Well of course the left gets ticked at anyone who points out that they cheat with impunity.

Whistle blowing against the ruling elite will never be tolerated.

O’Keefe has kick a hornets nest of government vermin bent on keeping the status quo quiet and unseen.

Mubumbo Hussein Odumbo is not about to take any chances on losing this election.

The ballot box is proving to be inept at keeping this government confined within its Constitutional limits and not enough of us know what Thomas Jefferson told us to do.

Right, except for checking your photo ID to see that you are who you say you are?

Except intimidation on the steps of a voting polling site will not be prosecuted, per Holder.

I love him. He should get a Pulitzer but the enemedia will never acknowledge his contributions, showing them up at their own game.

Too bad we don’t have a free press or even a press concerned about election corruption so the American people could watch this on television.

Anyone know if Fox News is covering this?

And the admin will virtually crucify any whistle blowers like O’keefe. I appreciate O’keefe sticking his neck out there because I doubt I would have the courage to do so myself.

Thanks to Breitbart for finding him!

imagine the press outrage if they thought republicans were stuffing the ballot box

personally, i believe all conservatives should get the names and addresses of any libs they know... and on election day, get to the voting booth as early as possible.

later on, the lib won’t be able to vote :)

(ok, yes... that would be illegal and shouldn’t be done... i expect the left to try it tho)

He is Breitbart all right. Thank Gd for O,Keefe and anyone willing to be brave enough to expose our thuggish government. And media.

Our government and media are the enemies of our country.
