O'Keefe plead out to a misdemeanor and served probation + a fine. But the crime he committed was a felony.

> In January 2012, O'Keefe released a video of associates obtaining a number of ballots for the New Hampshire Primary by using the names of recently deceased voters.

That's probably a felony in most parts of the US, although O'Keefe claims it wasn't since he didn't actually vote.
