Murkowski is one of the GOP holdouts refusing to support the SAVE ACT… will THIS video change her mind?
O’Keefe is at it again. Last week we saw his team exposing Minnesota’s voter vouching system where the other guy ‘IS the ID’ for up to 8 people. (If you missed it, it was worth seeing, here. With a followup interview with a former head election official explaining how the system was being gamed here. Here’s some of the video. Also here.)
Fast forward a week, and jump 2,500 miles to Alaska, and O’Keefe is at it again. This time he’s wearing shades and a COVID mask as he rocks up to the election officials overseeing Alaska primaries. He claims to have forgotten his ID at home and asks if there’s any way he can still vote without it.
He gives his name as M-U-R-K-O-W-S-K-I, Brian. Sure enough he’s on the list, because O’Keefe would have looked it up before going in.
(Murkowski, huh? Where have we heard that name before? Pretty good chance he’s related in some way to the sitting Senator.)
But the election officials never clue in to that glaring fact. Nor do they ask him to remove his shades or facemask.
They just assure him he can vote and walk him through the steps he’s got to take, none of which involve an actual authentication of identity.
HOLY COW
This needs to break the Internet. @JamesOKeefeIII went to Alaska during the primary on August 18th
& Election Day Workers were ready to hand him Brian Murkowski’s ballot!

Why is this particular video a big deal?
Because Murkowski is one of the Senators who has been PERSONALLY blocking GOP-proposed laws that would establish an ID requirement for voting.
Maybe now that her last name was shown to be at risk in the ballot security question, it might shame her into admitting that the guardrails fall somewhere between lax and non-existent.
This is an 80/20 (or more) issue that even most DEMOCRATS favor. Just not the activist class or anyone in the donor class or their elected puppets who know the inner workings of the political machines.
For SOME reason the real opposition to voting protection is coming from the political machine people.
The party that stuffed ballots to elect LBJ, and almost certainly managed to rig JFK’s election have ‘scruples’ against voter integrity.
What could POSSIBLY explain their reasons, one asks?
