COLUMBIA (WACH / AP)—Attorney General Alan Wilson is planning a voter ID discussion and fund raiser on Tuesday for Project Veritas.

The nonprofit, founded by James O’Keefe, has become known for their undercover videos that have targeted Medicaid and NPR.  O’Keefe himself became famous by wearing a pimp costume and engaging in a conversation with the community group ACORN.

A recent video released by the group shows a man trying to vote as Attorney General Eric Holder in Washington.  South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson is currently suing Eric Holder over the U.S. Justice Department’s rejection of the SC voter ID law.

The event will be held today at the Blue Marlin on Lincoln Street, tickets are $50.
