Thank you!

These criminals have violated NH, its citizens and, and the law - and must face real punishment.
This isn't their first attack on honesty - it should be their last.

So, there's no law against dead people voting; just don't film it and tell others what's going on. Sounds about right to me, but I believe in killing the messenger rather than the message, too.

Follow the money! Who is funding O'Keefe? Whose interest is it to defeat Obama?

Ummm... How is that theft. How is video footage theft? If it wasnt for "Right-Wing crazies", how would you ever know this stuff was going on? Sometimes we watch popular media programs depicting hero's as vigilantes. This guy used a camera, to expose the filth that has infiltrated our current system. How IGNORANT are you people to actually care more about "The American Way" than the unseating of corruption? Especially, if you attend any history class (That doesnt have a biased educator), you will notice that The American Way has been a brutal, and disgusting example of colonialism, genocide, rape, distrust, and war. Honestly. WHO CARES ABOUT THE PAST. DO GOOD THINGS IN THE FUTURE. STOP LETTING VIOLENCE CONTROL YOUR LIFE. THAT IS EVIL.

"Whose interest is it to defeat Obama"
Billionaires, Big Oil. Big Pharma, GOP, Mitch mcCconnell, Koch Brothers,
O'Keefe, Karl Rove, Ect.-------------- GeoSmi's America. Not mine.

RIGHT ON GeoSmi....And what this petition of leftists is...is a scare tactic of the Left to try to ensure that O'Keefe doesn't uncover more voter fraud in numerous other states. We KNOW voter fraud exists, but the Dems just want it swept under the rug so they can RIG elections like in the Al Franken case...GO O'KEEFE GO!!!! I have the perfect solution... Institute VOTER ID laws nationwide, but if you do not have an ID, you can still vote...as long as you stick your index finger into that well of permanant purple ink right there...it will prevent you from voting numerous times and worked in Iraqi elections just fine... Lastly, if New Hampshire AG is smart he will dismiss this case and instead spend their resources on cleaning up their voter registration rolls so they don't look like fools!!

This is just a ploy to cast doubt on our election process and make it more difficult for people to vote. O'Keefe is already on probation for crimes he has committed in the past. It is now time for him to do jail time.

It is against the law to rob a bank. But banks can be robbed. If I take a toy gun into a bank to prove the point - even if I don't accept the money - I will be arrested and prosecuted. This stunt by O'Keefe and his buddies is no different and should not go unpunished.

Proving that conditions exist that might permit voter fraud IS NOT the same thing as proving that voter fraud exists. In fact, the only voter fraud proved to have existed is that committed by O'Keefe and his minions. And they weren't even successful at that. Proving what? That the current system in place is functioning correctly. The black guy won in 2008. Just get over it.

Me thinks thou dost protest too much

Ok So someone could find a dead persons name and ID themselves as that person and maybe cast a vot. I guess its possible but Widespread? I doubt it, No System is fool proof and mistakes are made by everybody. There are not enopugh of theses Voting dead people to make a difference SO, one needs to ask what is the real motivation for Mr Okeefe's abuse of other's privacy?
Let's try to find the fraud in hundreds or thousands of cases where it makes a difference. I am opposed to further restrictions.

So using the same reasoning as the Repubs on this site, a logical defense for armed robbery of a bank would be "I was just trying to prove it could happen". Too funny!!

Where do I go to sign the petition? This guy is a hypocritical jerk that thinks he's above the law. Goes around breaking the law to prove wrong doing by others.

What's been injected into your water up there, New Hampshire? That your Attorney General hasn't put up an arrest warrant on a videotaped Federal and State crime is amazing! Hmmmmmmm he's Republican, isn't he?

There isn't a single instance of voter fraud in the USA in years. This is just an obvious attempt to exclude groups of people from the right to vote. O"Keefe and his buddies are involved in criminal activity and need to be arrested, tried and sentenced. After all, it's on video, isn't it?

I hope NH makes an example of him! He is a jerk with an agenda.

Why not the simple solution of taking dead people off the voters roll instead of breaking the law to try to take away other's right to vote via ids. Locking these crooks up would do more than voter ID laws to prevent voter fraud. The risk of going to jail is a deterent to voter fraud. Make OKeefe an example to would be crooks. If you let him get away with fraud, it encourages fraud.

The deceased whose ids were stolen by O'Keefe and Co., had died recently, and one name they stole was very much alive.

Republican desperation & extremist, ranting by Right wing nuts case's..

We owe a huge "thank you" to O'Keefe for showing the flaw in the NH voting system. It is not just dead people. Pick a name such as "Carol Robidoux" of 14 Fox Meadow Lane in Merrimack (www.switchboard.com). Be there at the polls when they open and walk in and ask if they have a Carol Robidoux on the ballot. The poll worker will thank you for voting and hand you the ballot. Go in and vote for the Republican. If the real Carol does not vote that day, the fraud goes undetected. if she does show up, the poll worker may accuse her of trying to vote twice and deny her from voting. Or, they could say there must have been some mistake, and let the real Carol vote. Either way, the fraudulent vote can never be recovered.

In my area, a new Registered Voter Log Book is prepared for each election with a copy of the signature on your original voter registration card next to your name in the Log Book

When you show up took vote, the Log Book is presented to you, with the copy of your oringinal signature in the book covered up.

After you sign underneath it, the new signature is compared to the original one in the Log Book.

Justsayin, I believe your attorney friend has not read up on this case, I read that impersonating someone at a polling place is the crime in question, not casting votes. By the way, ACORN never cast votes either, they simply filled out registration cards. Does your lawyer pal feel that ACORN did nothing wrong? I bet s/he has two different standards for the two different parties. Perhaps your lawyer friend can help O'Keefe defend himself from the Republican blogger who said she was drugged in his company and had her panties stolen after he tried to tell her to flop out in his NJ barn.

The democrats can't allow any restrictions on their base. The need all the people they can get to hold power. The physically dead, morally dead, and financially dead who need all the handouts they can get in return.

Isnt it ironic that lunatics like OKeefe and Breitbart claim to oppose what they call "big government", when their whole method has always been to falsely malign private citizens by covertly recording them, and falsifying their encounters in a dishonest and slanderous public forum?

And all of this in lock step with the agenda of the very dishonest, power-hungry and irresponsible Moloch that the GOP has become?

Thats pretty freakin' Orwellian there... as is encouraging a movement of citizens to spy on their neighbors, send the data to Project Veritas, or BigGovernment.com, and have them mush it up into some horsepuckey narrative whose sole purpose is to realize (in the most dishonest terms) the GOP agenda.

Its nothing short of archetypically Big-Brother... to the letter.

But now, OKeefe and his band of mendacious hypocritical fanatics want to restrict the voting polls... again, in lockstep with the party he serves.

How is that NOT "big government?"

BTW, does anyone on the Right question the NON DISCLOSURE agreements that litter OKeefe's history?

ANyone care to answer why he had his political sugar daddies pay off such a HUGE settlement to Izzy Santa, complete with a binding NON DISCLOSURE agreement?

What ever happened to transparency and "veritas"?

What's he hiding?

Covertly recording Private Citizens (eg, special ed teacher Alisha Ploshnik, Juan CArlos Vera, KAtherine Conway Russle, etc...) for an underhanded political agenda is bad enough.

But falsifying that data to not only malign and endanger those citizens with the most horrendous charges, but to do so in the spirit of actualizing the agenda of an active political party is definitively Big Brother...

why do conservatives, who pretend to hate "big government", support O'keefe so blindly, and in complete violation of what they pretend to stand for?

Seriously Carol... "right-wing" ???

Careful now, your bigotry is showing.

Out of curiousity, I googled how often "right-wing" shows up w/ your name over "left-wing". Of which your RW bigotry is attached 10-fold over LW.

Oh, and I usually stop reading any article after demagoguery.

Eric: Your point is well taken and for future reference, I will be more mindful of the word choice. Quite honestly, it was just meant to underscore the point that among conservatives, James O'Keefe falls into the activist category; there was no value judgement intended. As for demagoguery, where'd you see that in the story? And finally, if you are a regular reader of Nashua Patch, in general you should be aware that we work hard at balance, and giving voice to all sides of every debate. To imply otherwise is disingenuous on your part. However, your feedback is essential to keeping us honest and on our toes, so keep it coming, and please keep reading.

Didn't the Nashua Police charge a homeowner for video taping a conversation between the homeowner and a Nashua Police Detective in the homowner's driveway or sidewalk a few years back??

Didn't the AG or Court drop the charges against the homeowner likening the chrage to jaywalking or ripping the tag off the mattress?

Methinks if there was a substantial charge that would hold up in Court against O'Keefe it would of been brought forth by now by the AG.

I also think I heard, but can't provide any more info with researching it, O'Keefe just got ballots from dead Vermont voters in a similar expose`??
