New Project Veritas videos show Obama campaign volunteers ready to assist in voter fraud by helping people cast ballots in multiple states.
The bulk of the new video centers on the Organizing for America (OFA) office in Houston, as an undercover videographer tells regional field director Stephanie Caballero that wants to vote in both Texas and Florida. She claims she’s all set to vote in Texas and is registered to vote in Florida but isn’t sure how to get a Florida ballot.
After some initial hesitation, Caballero not only laughs and calls the idea “cool” but she prints out a Florida absentee ballot request form and then advises the woman to play dumb if she gets caught voting in multiple states.
“The director actually gave an out-of-state absentee ballot (request form) and actually encouraged her to lie, encouraged her to say she didn’t know what she was doing when the director makes it pretty evident that she does know that it’s illegal and she wants her not to get caught,” said O’Keefe. “I think the expectation here is that she just says, ‘No, you can’t do that. I’m not going to help you with it,’ not go ahead and encourage her to lie about it.”
Later the video shows men in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut approaching Obama campaign workers and specifically asking for multiple voter registration forms so they can vote in two different states. They meet no resistance.
When others later claim to be Republicans simply wishing to register, the Obama campaign workers are very reluctant to part with “valuable” registration forms.
“So that was an interesting distinction,” said O’Keefe. “Say you want to commit fraud and you get all the forms you want, say that you just want to vote and the forms become valuable.”
He says this scenario played out in almost every encounter across the nation. O’Keefe has several more videos planned for release in the days to come.
