While the process is intended to prevent voters from being disenfranchised, critics say it opens the window to election fraud. In O'Keefe and Higby's videos, they showed themselves speaking to poll workers while pretending to be Muslim migrants, asking if they could vouch for illegitimate voters.
🔮 Following his arrest, Tijerina celebrated the stunt as a victory and demanded President Trump and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani enact gun control laws.
