What we know
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced felony charges of unlawful voting and identity theft against James O'Keefe and Cam Higby.
The charges stem from the pair's actions at Minnesota polling places during the state's Aug. 11 primary election.
Prosecutors said the two men identified themselves using names of registered voters in those precincts without the voters' knowledge or permission.
The pair recorded themselves using hidden cameras and posted videos in August; they did not sign the vouching oath or cast a vote, according to the county attorney.
O'Keefe's group denied impersonating anyone, saying it stated a name and asked election workers about Minnesota's vouching process.
