Project Veritas’ investigators posed as would-be voters

 

Out of state voters and non-residents offered ballots in New Hampshire presidential primary 

 

 

The 2016 United States presidential primary started with last week’s caucuses in Iowa, and has continued this week in New Hampshire–but not without controversy.

As Western Journalism reported, much controversy exists over the caucus results from Iowa. And now, more controversy is emerging from the Granite State.

Undercover journalists from Project Veritas Action, armed with hidden video cameras, captured state election officials, campaign officials, and campaign workers in what one could say borders on voter fraud.

Project Veritas’ investigators posed as would-be voters. One of them presented herself at a polling station, asking questions of Emily Croots, an election official in Durham, N.H. “Okay, and how long do I have to live in New Hampshire before I can vote today?”asked the investigator.

Croots responded, “Not long. I don’t know. There’s not really a set time."  The investigator asked a follow-up question: “Okay, and how long do I have to stay in New Hampshire to vote today?” “Um, there’s no requirement,” Croots replied.

The Project Veritas investigation continued, with the investigator saying she didn’t have any identification and was told all she had to do was fill out and sign a verification form giving a name and an address.

In another instance, after telling the Project Veritas undercover journalist she needed to have been in the state for 48 hours prior to voting, Lacy Bang, a poll worker from Portsmouth, N.H., told her she could use her Massachusetts driver’s license. “If you’re here today, you vote, you can be gone,” Bang said.

In another revealing conversation, Donna Waterman (a Bernie Sanders campaign staffer) confessed that even out-of-state campaign workers vote in the New Hampshire primary. “All of our paid canvassers have done it, It’s very, very, easy.” Continuing on, Waterman added: “I don’t know the legality of it.  Perhaps it’s voter fraud."

James O’Keefe, head of Project Veritas Action, then confronted a few of the individuals seen in the video; but mum was the reaction he received, even being told to leave at one point.

It appears, from the different answers to the residency questions, that no one interviewed really seemed to know how long one had to have been a resident of New Hampshire in order to vote; and no one seemed to know how long one had to stay in the state for their vote to have been valid.  Likewise, no one appeared to be concerned with issues of voter identification.

O’Keefe concluded that the laws in New Hampshire concerning voter identification, registration, and validation need more attention from the state’s lawmakers.

Four years ago, James O’Keefe released a video which showed how easy it would be for people to vote in New Hampshire using the names of deceased people. As a result of that video, New Hampshire changed its voter ID laws. Project Veritas Action revisited New Hampshire during Tuesday’s presidential primary election and again showed how easy it is to cast fraudulent votes with the new law fully in place. In this new video, multiple election officials and Bernie Sanders presidential campaign staffers offered advice to journalists using hidden cameras about how to circumvent the law.
