Round Two: Obama Campaign Workers Help People Vote Twice

Yesterday we brought you a new Project Veritas video showing an Obama for America director in Houston helping an undercover reporter vote in two separate states. Now, another video shows volunteers in Brooklyn and an official Obama for America office in Minnesota encouraging double voting.

Clearly, this is not an isolated incident and as previously reported, the encouragement of voting in two states is illegal under 42 USC 1973i(e) and 42 USC § 1973gg–10(2).

The former federal law makes it illegal to vote twice. The latter law prohibits fraudulent voting in a federal election. 18 USC 2 makes it illegal to aid and abet election fraud.

Salaried Obama for America employees and Obama volunteers seem to have no problem with encouraging people to vote twice in different states so long as they are voting for Barack Obama.
