James O'Keefe has released undercover footage of election training in Maricopa County, Arizona, revealing that poll workers are instructed not to intervene in third-party ballot harvesting. The footage shows election trainers admitting that it is not the poll workers' job to police such activities. This has sparked controversy, with some arguing that the lack of enforcement mechanisms in Arizona election law allows for potential election fraud. O'Keefe's investigation involved hidden cameras, drawing comparisons to the use of bodycams for cops. Critics of O'Keefe's investigation argue that the election officials were simply following the law, which does not permit poll workers to take enforcement actions.
