CONGRESSMAN JIM MORAN’S SON CAUGHT ON TAPE TEACHING VOTE FRAUD TECHNIQUES

A new undercover video from James O’Keefe and Project Veritas shows Pat Moran, son of longtime incumbent congressman Jim Moran (D-VA) and field director for his father’s re-election campaign, instructing a supporter in how to use fraudulent documents to cast a hundred illegal votes:

Note that Project Veritas prominently includes the unedited raw footage of this encounter, to counter the usual whines about false editing. There’s not much question about what happens here. An undercover operative posing as a very enthusiastic supporter says he’s got a hundred names of people who probably aren’t going to vote, and he wants to cast their ballots for them.

Moran is “initially lukewarm about the idea of voting on others’ behalf,” as narrator O’Keefe puts it, suggesting that a legitimate “get out the vote” effort would be a better investment of effort… but he’s quite willing to give some helpful advice for evading the flimsy existing voter identification procedures. He’s even got tips for making sure that the prospective targets for ballot theft are truly “inactive” voters, rather than people who already voted early. It’s obviously a subject he’s given some thought to. And by the end of the conversation, he’s a lot less “lukewarm” about the idea. In fact, he thinks it’s pretty funny.

Time for some more New York Times editorials about how vote fraud never happens, better voter identification is unnecessary, and anyone who cares about protecting the integrity of our electoral system is just a racist who wants to suppress the minority vote!

Project Veritas has already gotten a high-ranking Obama campaign employee fired for her willingness to engage in vote fraud. Is Jim Moran going to fire his son now?

OK. It's still a good story. No need to pull it IMO.

I thought I should now let whomever know that Moran’s son had since resigned.

That is interesting. Thanks for updating the story. Let it all out, FReepers are here to slice and dice from every angle as always.

So if you had someone come to you, open a paper bag and pull out little papers with names and addresses and tell you they were going to vote on behalf of these people, you would answer their questions on how to do it?

I think you're the one who needs to be spanked.

That’s totally different - apples and oranges.

Never fear. Libs are having UN observers monitoring the election for fraud. But only right wing fraud.

[ponygirl]

Apparently you didn’t watch the video very closely because that is exactly what happened. He shows the guy a bag full of names and addresses.

“I would love to see Moran in jail.”

Virginia has a pretty good attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli. I’m surprised Moran hasn’t been arrested yet.

Thanks neverdem.

If you watch the whole thing...I get the impression that Moran’s son never took the interview guy serious and gave a sarcastic answer. On the scale of the video being worth anything....I’d give it 1.5 stars at best.

"Patrick is well liked and was a well-respected member of the campaign team. This incident, however, was clearly an error in judgment.

Moran is slime and eastern Fairfax and Reston are a bunch of worthless A-holes.

I get the impression that Moran’s son never took the interview guy serious and gave a sarcastic answer.

I got the impression that the whole idea disgusted him. In fact, he tried to dissuade O'Keefe's camera person from spending his energy that way. Still, he did "help" the guy in performing an illegal and despicable act and knew how to do it.

Wow. Dems seem to know all the ins and outs of how to commit voter fraud. I would not have known where to start.
