James O’Keefe released a video Thursday exposing Alaska poll workers offering him a ballot under the name of Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s brother without requiring identification. O’Keefe, founder of O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), visited an Anchorage polling place during Alaska’s primary election and gave workers the name Brian Murkowski. A worker found the name on the voter list and confirmed he was at the correct polling location.
O’Keefe then said he had left his ID at home and asked whether he could still vote. “Absolutely possible,” a worker responded. Another worker told O’Keefe he could cast a ballot without presenting identification. “You can vote if you’d like to,” the worker said. O’Keefe asked whether he could fill out the ballot paperwork and then vote. “Yes, sir,” the worker replied. O’Keefe did not cast the ballot. He said Brian Murkowski no longer lives in Alaska but remains on the state’s voter rolls. O’Keefe’s team also tested the system using the name of Karina Waller, Murkowski’s state director.
