o’keefe goons impersonated living voter

I actually got wind of this yesterday, but held back until the victim of the crime contacted the Attorney General.

TPM has the scoop:

Robert William Beaulieu is 23-years-old, lives in Nashua, New Hampshire, and is a registered Democrat. He’s also very much not dead.

But you wouldn’t have known that if you watched the lastest undercover sting video from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, which featured a man with an Irish accent attempting to obtain a ballot on behalf of a Robert Beaulieu who lives on Cassandra Lane.

Presumably the O’Keefe goon screwed up his attempt to impersonate a different, recently deceased Beaulieu.

The crime victim’s reaction:

“Yeah, he butchered our name,” Robert W. Beaulieu told TPM, adding that the fact that someone using his name was able to obtain a ballot doesn’t change his opposition to a photo ID law.

“I’ve heard Republicans try to spin it their way, but I don’t see [voter impersonation fraud] as a big problem at all,” Beaulieu told TPM, but said that the poll watcher in the video shouldn’t have helped the individual impersonating him out with his address.

James O’Keefe and his band of Project Moranitans spent $50,000 disenfranchising this young Granite Stater.

I’d very much like to know when they’ll be arrested.
