O’Keefe was charged alongside fellow influencer Cam Higby after they allegedly misrepresented themselves at polling places during Minnesota’s primary in August.
A Minnesota prosecutor on Wednesday charged conservative provocateur James O’Keefe and influencer Cam Higby with felony counts of unlawful voting and identity theft after they misrepresented themselves at polling places in August using the names of registered voters.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who announced the charges at a news conference, accused the pair of entering polling places during state primary election voting on Aug. 11 and identifying themselves using names of registered voters in those precincts without those voters’ knowledge or permission.
“Both men stopped short of signing the oath we all sign before receiving our ballot,” she said. “But Minnesota law states clearly that no individual shall intentionally misrepresent their identity in applying for a ballot.”
I hope someone is keeping track. Lots of righties crying about voter fraud then committing it. We’ll need a tally at some point. My absolute favorite is when they get caught, they always say “I did it to prove the lefties can do it” but they’re the only ones who actually do it. Once again, every accusation is a confession.
So, if he’s convicted, does the person who found his fraudulent voting get that $1m that trump promised?
I guarantee that does not apply if the guilty person is a Republican.

This guy is so overdue for prison.
No plea. Max sentence. Make an example. MAGAts should be on board too, given how much they claim to hate voter fraud.
They posted videos capturing their interactions on social media in August. O’Keefe said on X that they dressed in “Muslim garb” — including, for one of them, a full-face veil known as a niqab
Are men “allowed” to wear a niqab?
Islam does have a prohibition on men acting like women and vice versa, so barring extenuating circumstances the answer is “no.” That said nobody can actually tell whether the person wearing a niqab is a man or a woman unless they speak.
He’s dressing in women’s clothes now?
What restroom did he use?!
Only if they are trans
Of course he did. Republicans can’t win if they don’t cheat, lie or steal.
I feel like this is then just trying to “prove” how easy it is to do a voter fraud.
Feel like? It’s 100% what it was. I believe that was their stated goal.
Could easily be. I try my best not to pay attention to the dregs of society if I can help it.
Well it was in the article…
Classic Republican. The accusation is a confession.
The real scum of this country
Always the ones you most suspect
I hope NBC gets 1 million $$
Is thay ALL?
He always gets a mulligan. IOKIYAR
But they didn’t vote and they didn’t steal an identity? Saying the wrong name is not stealing it and not voting is not considered voting.
This is performative at best, the prosecutor should be removed from office immediately.
Minnesota law states clearly that no individual shall intentionally misrepresent their identity in applying for a ballot.
Mulligrubs is a fascist and does not believe the words he writes.
“Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past”

Not them, but I’m gonna have to ask for evidence for that accusation.
Not them
And yet I had exactly the same tags (including “fascist”) for both of you.
Curious.
Oh well, now I also have you tagged as an alt account. 🤷♂️
Evidence is the comment defending fascists
As a Minnesotan:
Go fuck yourself
It couldn’t have been Elizabeth Holmes? The media would lose their collective shit.
