Updated; Democrats say I don't need no stinkin' photo I.D. to vote

Big Government   "U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has declared that there is no proof that in-person voter fraud is a problem. He's about to see proof that even he can't deny.
"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 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.” "
Here's the part I loved:
"The young man replies: “I would feel more comfortable if I just had my ID. Is it alright if I go get it?" The poll worker agrees.
" "I’ll be back Faster than you can say Furious,” the young man jokes on his way out, in a reference to the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal that has plagued Holder’s Department of Justice."

“It’s no coincidence that these so-called examples of rampant voter fraud consistently turn out to be manufactured ones.”
nullIn other words, there wouldn’t be any holes in the system if conservative activists would stop pointing them out." Obama supporters say, "Hey, give us any excuse to hang our hat on, even if it makes no sense. Just give us something, anything!"

Project Veritas demonstrates why Holder should stop attacking voter ID laws

John Fund: Voter fraud is a scandal, and the attorney general can’t look away anymore.  "Holder’s opposition to ID laws comes in spite of the Supreme Court’s 6–3 decision in 2008, authored by liberal Justice John Paul Stevens, that upheld the constitutionality of Indiana’s tough ID requirement. When groups sue to block photo-ID laws in court, they can’t seem to produce real-world examples of people who have actually been denied the right to vote. According to opinion polls, over 75 percent of Americans — including majorities of Hispanics and African-Americans — routinely support such laws."

"Note that O’Keefe’s assistant never identified himself as Eric Holder, so he was not illegally impersonating him.
Nor did he attempt to vote using the ballot that was offered him, or even to accept it. O’Keefe has been accused by liberals of committing voter fraud in his effort to expose just how slipshod the election systems of various no-ID-required states are, but lawyers say his methods avoid that issue. Moreover, he has only taped his encounters with election officials in jurisdictions that allow videotaping someone in public with only one party’s knowledge.
Is O'Keefe's group at risk for this?   "The New Hampshire attorney general‘s office is investigating after a video surfaced that appears to show people using the names of deceased individuals to obtain ballots on the day of the state’s presidential primary..."
