This James O'Keefe twerp has been running "sting" operations on many supposedly "liberal" people and groups for a while now. Unfortunately, since he's a protege of douchebag Andrew Breitbart, and because the right-wing spin machine is so much of a bubble, O'Keefe has had some success. But I have to qualify "success." Yes, his efforts got ACORN to disband. NO, he did not prove his case at all, having sleazily edited the video to show something as it didn't happen. Almost anything this creep does gets lauded by the right, but most of the time it is dishonest, skeevy and just plain wrong. He's gotten into trouble before, when his scams stepped a little to far astray from the law. But now? Voter fraud? Somebody is in big, big trouble. But will it be O'Keefe, or his lackeys?

On a side note, O'Keefe's sting this time was to show how easy it is to vote without ID. What he didn't prove (because it's almost non-existant) is how this even matters. Voter fraud of this sort is so rare as to be almost unmeasurable.
