“Utterly insane,” commented U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.
“This is crazy…and is a situation ripe for election fraud,” said Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins.
“Minnesota unintentionally makes a compelling case for the SAVE America Act. This is freaking nuts,” added U.S. Sen. Mike Lee.
Additionally, Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon has weighed in on the video, saying Higby and O’Keefe put themselves in “legal jeopardy.”
“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,” Simon said.
He said law enforcement is “reviewing the situation” and that his office has “zero tolerance for lying, lawbreaking, and disruptions at our polling places.”
O’Keefe responded to Simon online, saying Simon is “threatening us for exposing the truth on their broken vouching system.”
“I’ve been threatened with arrest more times than I can count,” O’Keefe wrote. “What I’ve learned in 20 years of doing this you CANNOT stop a man in the right who keeps on coming.”
