I'd be interested to know what led the guy filming and asking questions to enter the room in the first place. Was he alerted by someone that this was taking place away from election monitors? If he's truly one of them, he was unaware as to why they weren't where all the other election stuff was happening. Why would they not be among the others? If they can't name the person running this operation, who told them to do whatever it is they were doing in this separate location?
The question most important is whether or not this can be explained as an honest "mistake" in judgement rather than intent to engage in fraud. I suppose they could be "doing their job" in an honest manner, but it doesn't look good as it is. Sadly, the clip is too short with no followup.
I'm more interested in whether or not the video accurately represents what's going on. If I'm not mistaken the cameraman identifies himself as a poll worker or election monitor in the video. This should give him both the authority to investigate the activity as well as to film.
The video obviously raises more questions than anything, and should be used as the motivation to get those questions answered by the appropriate authorities.
The clip is what it is and we have no idea what (if any) follow up happened. The appropriate follow up would have been an investigation by the county/state voting authority to determine what exactly was going on. It obviously looks shady as hell, and the fact that the women don't know are are lying about who told them to do what they were doing makes it look really bad.
The very fact that we see that sort of cavalier attitude about voting security is problem enough.
Of course the cameraman might only have told them he was a poll worker without actually being one, just to posture as having the authority to get them to answer his questions. But whatever... The questions need to be answered and I wish there was some following up by the same guy posted at the same place.

That's True, although we have no way of knowing. Regardless the video raises questions which should be answered.
