Young man obtains voting ballot under Attorney General Eric Holder's name

In a new video (below) provided to Breitbart.com, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas demonstrates why Holder should stop attacking voter ID laws--by walking into Holder’s voting precinct and showing the world that anyone can obtain Eric Holder’s primary ballot. Literally.

The video shows a young man entering a Washington, DC polling place at 3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW, on primary day of this year--April 3, 2012--and giving Holder’s name and address. The poll worker promptly offers the young man Holder’s ballot to vote.

The young man then suggests that he should show his ID; the poll worker, in compliance with DC law, states: “You don’t need it. It’s all right. As long as you’re in here, you’re on our list, and that’s who you say you are, you’re okay.”




It's truly amazing how easy this is. Even more amazing is that the solution is incredibly obvious yet some simpletons try to resist one of the most popular public policies in the United States.

Does this thread even warrant a response? Yes, if you deliberately look up the address and full legal name of voters with the specific intent to lie about your identity at the voting booth, you will succeed. However, there's no record of this voting fraud happening at a rate worth excluding a sizable percentage of voters from the rolls.

It's a good thing, then, that nobody has shown in court that they would be 'excluded' from voting. Let alone a 'sizable percentage' of someones.

You're obfuscating the issue: a large portion of eligible voters (~10 percent) don't have photo ids and therefore couldn't participate in the process without obtaining one. I know you don't care about these individuals just like you don't care about public workers, teachers and minorities but this is actually a legitimate concern for people who posses the ability to empathize.

The judiciary has already decided that the obvious, logical response to these eligible voters is to either vote without one under the appropriate provisions or to obtain one.

But you just made the rest of this up. The vast bulk of the nation supports voter ID. How nice of you to insult them.

Breaking the law is possible. Who knew? We'd better ban guns fast. Unintended consequences be damned. Somebody might break the law with one.

That's one of the reasons of course why firearms require the appropriate ID to procure and carry in most states.
