Two conservative activists who filmed a stunt undercover at a Minnesota polling site have been charged with unlawful voting and identity theft, prosecutors said.

James Edward O'Keefe and Cam Higby are accused of trying to sow doubt in the state's voting systems after sharing a video that shows them in Islamic attire and using fake accents while interacting with poll workers.
