Voter Intimidation: James O’Keefe films himself stalking a church van bringing people to polls
James OKeefe films himself committing voter intimidation by stalking a church van bringing people to polls
Can you imagine how conservatives would react if a group of Black Panthers activists spent an entire day following around groups of Christian voters and filming their every move as they went to the polls?
Thats what right-wing propagandist James OKeefe is doing on Tuesday in Philadelphia, as he and his crew are now tailing a bus that was set up by a black pastor to bring voters to the polls.
So were behind this bus, which is like a pastor bus, busing people around to the polls in Philadelphia, OKeefe says in a video posted on Twitter. And were going to be releasing video here today showing some people doing some improper things, busing people around, maybe they shouldnt be doing it.
Bradley Moss, an attorney who specializes in litigating national security matters, notes that OKeefe seems to be clearly engaging in voter intimidation, as many people will feel unnerved having a car follow them around and film them as they go to vote.
In fact, as the Washington Posts guide on voting laws makes clear, the definition of voter intimidation includes when a voter is being followed and photographed or has his license plate numbers recorded which is just what OKeefe is doing in this video.
Nonetheless, OKeefe promises that he and his Project Veritas goons are operating undercover across the country to expose the horrors of voter fraud in urban environments. While its unlikely theyll turn up any game-changing bombshells, they will likely provide fodder for conspiracy theorists via deceptively edited videos.
