Activists target D.C. voter fraud in video

-

The District of Columbia Board of Elections opened an investigat­ion after an undercover video posted online showed an activist against voter fraud going into a Washington polling station and asking about the name Eric Holder, which led to the activist being offered a ballot to vote under the name of the U.S. attorney general.

The city does not require ID to vote. The elections board said it is investigat­ing multiple incidents that occurred April 3. The investigat­ion stems from the undercover video posted online by activist James O’keefe’s Project Veritas, whose associate didn’t actually vote. The group also has made undercover videos targeting Medicaid, NPR and community organizing group ACORN.
