?Non-Citizens? Voting in North Carolina
James O?Keefe has released yet another video in his series on the voter ID system, or lack thereof, in America.
As in many of the other videos, O?Keefe?s people give the names of people other then themselves and are offered ballots to vote. They are also told they do not need any form of ID. But his latest episode ? filmed in North Carolina ? adds the twist that some may not even be citizens.
The group?s video description alleges:
In North Carolina we find people who are listed as non-citizens according to Jury refusal forms and who are also registered to vote. We get their comment and are offered their ballots. We are offered a ballot in the name of a dead man, and interview an election Judge who says he only wants to uphold parts of the state constitution.

Florida Investigating Thousands of Potentially Non-Citizen Voters
Florida election officials are examining 180,000 people on the state?s voter rolls who may not even be U.S. citizens.
It?s part of an effort to clean up voter lists ahead of the November election. Florida?s Division of Elections said it?s checking voter citizenship by comparing names in its databases to those of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which tracks whether a licensed driver is also a citizen, Reuters reported.
The voters in question are not necessarily illegal immigrants; they may be legal residents, just not U.S. citizens.
?We?re going to vet a list of 180,000 people to try to come up with a real number,? Division of Elections spokesman Chris Cate said.
Officials have so far identified 2,600 suspect voters and passed their information on to local election boards.
?These are the people that we have to notify by mail that we have a reason to believe that they?re a non-citizen,? Christina White, Florida?s deputy supervisor of elections told Miami CBS affiliate WFOR-TV.
A WFOR-Miami Herald analysis found that about 2,000 of the 180,000 voters under examination are registered in Miami-Dade County. The analysis found that a large number of those suspect voters may have cast ballots in the past ? including in the 2000 presidential election, decided in Florida by just 500 votes.
The analysis also showed that one suspect person voted at least 30 times.
Each person sent an inquiry has 30 days to respond with proof of citizenship.
Florida officials have requested access to Department of Homeland Security databases to further help determine who is a citizen ? a request the Obama administration has denied.
?We?ve been requesting access, but have so far been denied,? Cate told Reuters.
