Two conservative independent journalists have just been charged with
felonies after exposing just how crazy Minnesota’s voting rules actually are.
Back in August, James O’Keefe and Cam Higby partnered for a video in which they dressed up as Muslims and entered polling stations in Minneapolis to see how far workers would let them get.
Here’s a clip from the video in question:

BREAKING: Journalists James O’Keefe and Cam Higby have been hit with TWO FELONY CHARGES in Minneapolis for their video EXPOSING vulnerabilities in Minnesota’s elections
This is TOTAL LAWFARE!
@camhigby walked in wearing a burqa to show they’d let him vote with a WOMAN’S name with NO questions asked, and he could even “vouch” for some other unregistered “Muslim” (who was @JamesOKeefeIII in a costume)
NEITHER of them voted.
The charges include felony unlawful voting and identity theft.
It’s a WITCH HUNT to try to SCARE OFF conservative journalists, and nothing more.
DO NOT BE DETERRED!
The goal was to see if poll workers would let them take advantage of Minnesota’s questionable “voter vouching” system — which lets someone “vouch” for up to eight unregistered voters without requiring any kind of ID.
And guess what?
The poll workers totally went along with it!
Watch this for yourself:
HOLY CRAP! THIS is the video that Minnesota leftist prosecutors charged Cam Higby with a FELONY over
He dressed as a Muslim and asked if he could vote with ZERO ID under Minnesota's "vouching" system
"Do we need ID?"
WORKER: "NOPE!"
HIGBY: "I have 7 other people who I…

HOLY CRAP! THIS is the video that Minnesota leftist prosecutors charged Cam Higby with a FELONY over
He dressed as a Muslim and asked if he could vote with ZERO ID under Minnesota’s “vouching” system
“Do we need ID?”
WORKER: “NOPE!”
HIGBY: “I have 7 other people who I live with.”
And the worker says those people can be vouched for to, and “NO ID FOR ANY”
This man exposed a corrupt election system and their answer is to criminally charge him, despite NO BALLOTS BEING CAST in this case
Minnesota is becoming like a 3rd world nation. Its elections are corrupt and voters need to elect Republicans to make it stop!
It’s important to note that neither James O’Keefe nor Cam Higby actually cast a ballot in another person’s name.
But now, Hennepin County has charged them with unlawful voting and identity theft.
If convicted, they could be spending up to 10 years behind bars.
NBC News reported further:
O’Keefe and Higby were using a process under Minnesota law known as vouching. It allows people can vouch for other voters on Election Day. A registered voter who lives in the same precinct can vouch for up to eight voters, while staff members of residential facilities can vouch for their residents.
The pair of influencers disguised themselves and recorded themselves going undercover using hidden cameras at the polling places. They posted videos capturing their interactions on social media in August. O’Keefe said in a post on X that they dressed in “Muslim garb” — including, for one of them, a full-face veil known as a niqab — and their goal was to “expose the sheer lunacy of Minnesota’s ‘vouching’ system.”
Moriarty said Wednesday that her office was alerted to their conduct by the office of Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon.
After O’Keefe and Higby’s videos became public in August, Simon said in a statement that their “apparent goal was to cast doubt on one or more Minnesota election laws that have been in force for over fifty years. Instead, they revealed their ignorance of how those laws actually work — while putting themselves in legal jeopardy.”
“The misconduct by this group is outrageous and totally unacceptable,” Simon added. “We have zero tolerance for lying, lawbreaking, and disruptions at our polling places.”
Police interviewed the registered voters whose names O’Keefe and Higby used, said Moriarty, who added that they also used names of deceased voters. Asked where they obtained those names, Moriarty said “We don’t know that.”
Moriarty said they are not in jail and instead, they will be issued a summons to appear in Minnesota for a court appearance.
Journalist Breanna Morello obtained and shared documents detailing the charges O’Keefe and Higby are facing.

It’s important to note, O’Keefe and Cameron Higby entered multiple polling places while disguised BUT NEVER SIGNED THE OATH OR CASTED A BALLOT.
Higby is also charged.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty — who is backed by none other than George Soros — held a press conference to discuss the charges.
Watch what she had to say here:
James Edward O’Keefe, 42, and Cam Higby, 26, both face felony charges of unlawful voting and identity theft.
Polling places are the heart of our democracy. Any attempt to disrupt or deceive our election workers will not be tolerated.

Since neither O’Keefe nor Higby voted using another person’s identity, it’s unclear whether Minnesota’s case will get very far.
But, one thing is for sure: this is just the latest example of left-wing prosecutors leading a witch hunt against those attempting to expose election fraud — rather than going after those who actually commit it!
Many folks are expressing outrage over unfair charges online:
@nicksortor @camhigby Legal in Minnesota:
Noncitizens voting.
Illegal in Minnesota:
Journalists exposing noncitizens voting.

@nicksortor @camhigby If they didn’t vote: no crime
If they didn’t use a registered voter’s name: no crime
Notice nobody cared until they exposed the problem!

@EricLDaugh I hope the Feds are watching Minnesota big time for voter integrity. Because the RIDICULOUS HC Attorney Moriarty is doing everything possible to protect the criminals.

What are your thoughts?
Do James O’Keefe and Cam Higby deserve to be prosecuted?
Or, should Minnesota focus on holding actual fraudsters accountable instead?
