The U.S. Department of Justice described a sting video in which a young white activist was offered Attorney General Eric Holder’s ballot as a “manufactured” example of “voter fraud.”

Video that James O’Keefe’s The Project Veritas released Monday morning shows a poll worker in Washington, D.C., offering Attorney General Eric Holder’s ballot to a voter ID activist. (RELATED: Watch the video here)

Holder is 61 years old and an African-American; he bears no resemblance to the young white man who was able to obtain his ballot.

The young Project Veritas activist walked into the D.C. polling place in Holder’s precinct. The activist then gave a poll worker Holder’s name and home address. The poll worker then offered him Holder’s ballot.

Department of Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not returned The Daily Caller’s requests for comment on Holder’s thoughts about how the lack of a federal voter ID law — Washington falls under federal voting law jurisdiction — could have led to Holder’s disenfranchisement by a white man.

...a “manufactured” example of “voter fraud.”

And Holder's department had to take their attention away from their manufactured race war to respond.
