James O'Keefe makes another lie in North Carolina 'sting,' gets another state investigation [View all]

Man, "journalist" James O'Keefe stepped in it—over and over and over—in his effort to expose voter fraud in North Carolina during last week's primary. There's just one fraud here, and it's clearly O'Keefe.

A brief recap: One of the voters O'Keefe accused of voting as a non-citizen in his latest exposé is actually a citizen. And the dead North Carolina voter: not dead.

And now it turns out that another "non-citizen" the video highlights, William Romero, is indeed a citizen ...

The positive news out of this is that O'Keefe's got himself into hot water in North Carolina, just as he has in New Hampshire, where a grand jury is investigating his stunt. North Carolina's state elections chief, Gary Bartlett, says his agency will "investigate whether the people in the video who tried to vote in the name of another violated state criminal law by impersonating a registered voter."
