appears in a completely irresponsible post on “Big Government,” smearing the messenger for delivering the news that James O’Keefe and his allies may well have violated state and federal anti-voter fraud laws.

For the record, Sam Issacharoff is one of the preeminent legal scholars in the U.S., not only in election law but also in civil procedure/complex litigation.  Everyone quoted in the TPM article, including Cato’s John Sample, had the same view as Sam.  While there is not unanimity in the election law community on whether O’Keefe and his allies should be prosecuted, I have yet to hear an election law expert say that this doesn’t merit at least an investigation.
