O’Keefe puts Alaska polling station to the test: Giant fail

August 21, 2026 | | Print Article

A new investigation by journalist James O’Keefe and the O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) has uncovered voter shenanigans happening in Alaska.

For this investigation, O’Keefe entered an Anchorage polling station pretending to be Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s brother, Brian Murkowski.

The catch was that he didn’t have any identification on him. Yet despite him not having ID, the poll workers said he could vote as Murkowski.

Watch:

“You can vote if you’d like to,” the poll workers said, adding that all O’Keefe needed to do was fill out a so-called “question ballot.”

“All I got to do is do the question ballot, then I can vote?” O’Keefe asked the poll workers just to double-check and make sure.

“Yes, sir,” they replied.

According to OMG, “Under Title 15 of the Alaska Statutes, a question ballot can be issued when a voter cannot provide a sufficient form of identification.”

“A question ballot is still submitted as a voting ballot, but it may be subject to further review,” OMG notes. “According to the explanation included in the investigation, the voter fills out the ballot in the same manner as other voters. ”

“When the ballot box is opened, the question ballot envelope is segregated, counted, compared with the voting list, and delivered to the election officials or body supervising the election for review,” the reporting continues.

The investigation continued with O’Keefe’s crew heading to another polling location and having a woman investigator without identification on her pretend to be Sen. Murkowski’s state director, Karina Waller.

Again, the trick worked.

Watch the full investigation below:

Following the investigation, O’Keefe noted in a tweet that Sen. Murkowski opposes the SAVE Act, a bill that’d resolve all these voter integrity issues.

“As written, the SAVE America Act isn’t a simple fix to safeguard elections, as proponents claim,” the senator wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed. “It would impose costly new barriers and prevent some, perhaps many, from voting, while also creating chaos before the November elections.”

“Right now, Alaskans can register to vote online. There is no evidence of significant fraud anywhere in that system. Yet the bill would effectively end online voter registration by requiring voters to present documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in person to an election official,” it continued.

God forbid that voters be required to prove their identity …

Murkowski did not take kindly to O’Keefe exposing her twisted views, going so far as to suggest he should be jailed for “voter impersonation.”

O’Keefe has stressed in tweets that neither he nor his co-workers ever actually voted. They just temporarily pretended to be someone else to prove that Alaska’s voting system is clearly lacking integrity.

Critics are now hammering Murkowski for being so full of it.

“It’s only a crime if he actually voted as someone else. He didn’t,” one critic tweeted. “All he did was expose how easy it is to cheat and vote illegally in @lisamurkowski ‘s own district. Pass the damned Save Act you traitor. Who owns you?”

“Republican HYPOCRITE!” another tweeted. “So @lisamurkowski is upset that her state was exposed for allowing someone to obtain a ballot using her brother’s name with NO ID yet OPPOSES the SAVE America Act? THAT’S the definition of HYPOCRITE! Damn it Lisa! VOTE FOR THE ACT!”

One critic even called her a “nepo baby”:
