From today's NashuaPatch in New Hampshire:
The footage includes shots taken at several New Hampshire polling sites, including some in Nashua, on Jan. 10 during which phony voters went undercover to ask for ballots for recently deceased people in those wards.
In one instance a poll worker in a Manchester ward realized the undercover imposter was not who he said he was because she knew the dead person in question. That incident was reported in the Boston Herald.
Nashua City Clerk Paul Bergeron is outraged, and noted that in addition to the legal ramifications, what these filmmakers did in that instance is morally and ethically wrong.
"Her husband just died 10 days ago," said Bergeron, referring to an interview in today's Boston Herald with Rachel Groux of Manchester, widow of Roger Groux, died December 31.

(5,060 posts)they didn't prosecute Ann Coulter for voting in the wrong precinct.
But when I think what they did to OWS protesters, the difference in treatment is really glaring. And they WERE doing public service.

(34,131 posts)Of BOTH parties is a crime in New Hampshire. Voter fraud is not just a state crime, it is a federal crime.
O'Keefe got three years of probation in March 2010 for his Mary Landrieu caper. I don't know if he's gotten any time off for "good behavior" but if he is still serving probation, this should count as a violation of it, as well as the additional crimes he has participated.

Thankfully, Boudreau was tipped off by OKeefes female colleague, Izzy Santa. (Haha, IS HE SANTA? IS HE?)
