James O’Keefe’s recent plan was to plant hidden cameras at polling places.
Well, that didn’t sit well for some Democrats.
Maricopa County’s attorney warned him that recording voters undercover illegal.
In fact, that county sent on threatening letters to journalist that dared to poke their nose around looking for voter fraud.
Does that sound suspicious?
So, O’Keefe had a nice little chat with lifelong Democrat Jeanine L’Ecuyer, Chief of Staff for Strategic Planning and Communication in Maricopa County.
MSN reports:
Conservative activist James O’Keefe has been warned against placing hidden cameras at voting locations in Arizona — an act that would be completely illegal — after he claimed to be in the process of sending the devices out. Maricopa County attorney Rachel Mitchell spelled this out in a letter sent to O’Keefe.
“If you were to send a poll worker a hidden camera to record audiovisual in a voting location, you might be guilty of conspiracy to violate Arizona law,” she wrote in the message obtained by the Washington Post via the state’s public-records law.
As ABC15 political analyst Garrett Archer explained of O’Keefe’s plans on X, “So…this is illegal. It’s a privacy violation against voters.”
On Oct. 26, O’Keefe wrote on X, “If you’re a poll worker, election judge, or election clerk who wants to record in your polling location,@okeefemedia will ship you a specialized OMG hidden camera early this week ahead of the election.”
Yes, the acronym for O’Keefe’s organization, O’Keefe Media Group, is OMG.O’Keefe specified that his organization will also “determine if you’re in a Jurisdiction where it’s legal to record.” He also previously shared a video secretly recorded at a polling site in Arizona.
JUST IN: Maricopa County is *TERRIFIED* that @JamesOKeefeIII will expose voter fraud on Election Day.
A Maricopa County official even *LEAKED* a legal threat letter to the Washington Post as a threat to journalists looking out for voter fraud in Arizonapic.twitter.com/gN6bwCpHzw
