The Real Fraud: Second ‘Non-Citizen’ In James O’Keefe Voter Fraud Video Naturalized In 2011

In conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe’s latest video, he features two “non-citizens” who have supposedly committed voter fraud in North Carolina. As ThinkProgress reported yesterday, one of the men, Zbigniew Gorzkowski, has actually been an American citizens for decades.

Now, it turns out that the second “non-citizen,” William Romero, is actually a citizen as well, according to his family.

The video opens with O’Keefe’s cameraman walking up Romero’s driveway and confronting a member of his family about whether he is a citizen. O’Keefe points to court records from 2010 where Romero was excused from jury duty because he was not a citizen at the time. Therefore, as O’Keefe argues, Romero’s voter registration dated December 5, 2011 is fraudulent because Romero “is not a United States citizen.”

The problemis that Romero IS a proud citizen of the good ol' USA.
Chalk up another EPIC FAIL for Pimp Boy.
Gorzkowski and Romero should sue O'Keefe's lying, libeling ass.

1. K and R for O'Keefe's little pallies

[pnwmom]

2. I hope some lawyer offers to help him sue. n/t

[Raster]

3. The Real Fraud is weasel-faced O'Keefe masquerading as a journalist.

[targetpractice]

6. He's a walking case study of "confirmation bias" n/t

[1monster]

4. That's two for two, so far. How many did he accuse, by name, of being non-citizen voters?

Does anyone take this guy seriously anymore? And how is it that he doesn't understand that after bringing down ACORN, he was outed as an out and out liar?

[Archae]

15. Actually three for three.

O'Keefe claimed a voter was already was dead, his sloppy "research" missed the fact there was a "Jr."

5. How dare they impugn the integrity of this fine journalist!

...with facts and stuff.

Someone needs to commit this man and get him some help.

7. Right-wing web world: (crickets) (crickets)

[struggle4progress]

8. Yep. Gorzkowski and Romero should sue O'Keefe for defamation

[drm604]

14. I hope they do.

Surely some law firm would take this on just to make a name for themselves. Maybe if he actually suffered some financial repercussions for his dishonest antics he would finally get the message.

9. Pimp boy

Someday this punk is going to get knee-capped.

[atreides1]

18. I was hoping for something more

But, knee caps are a good starting point!

[HereSince1628]

10. It's a FAIL! but who will notice?

Surely not those pushing this ridiculous defranchizing.

[earthbone]

11. Knee caps.

Mice have knee caps ?

[yesphan]

12. yep

13. Repubs areexperts in voter fraud, remember Florida in 2000.

They will do anything to cheat, they have been pushing for voter id any redraw line to favor repubs. Any group who welcomes groups like tea party and neo-Nazi has no limlts. Talk about causing the downfall of the USA, they are the creators of the end.

16. So how......

So how do you keep O'Keefe or anyone else (foreigner or not) from using Gorzkowsk's ballot?

[cyberswede]

17. What?

The point is, people don't typically use other people's ballots. Voter fraud is largely a myth.

[marble falls]

20. Slacker. I psychically send in at least four. I'm visualizing Bill Ayres as a.........

write in vote for some election in the future as I type this in right now. Throwing elections and contributing a socialist opinion site. Living la vida loca,

[cyberswede]

22. I prefer my ballet in person.

[drm604]

23. Is there something about Gorzkowski's ballot that makes it more amenable to fraud than anyone elses?

I don't get your point.

[mn9driver]

25. Since the man went to the trouble of becoming a citizen, he will no doubt want to use it himself.

and thanks to nasty RW twits like O'Keefe being in his face, he will probably use it to vote against those who would restrict voting rights based on his having a funny name or talking with an accent.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. He should be in jail

Isn't he on probation as it is?

[chollybocker]

24. Who's paying him now?

Since the Breit Bank was shut down, as it were.

[struggle4progress]

26. Oh, James, James. You are one clueless stupid dumbfuck.

[liberalnationalist]

27. the ultimate ? is

do I HATE the conservative evangelical racist facist unamerican bigots who call themselves patriots?

YES
