James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas Action released its first video Wednesday, highlighting potential election law violations by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Project Veritas sent people undercover as Clinton volunteers to see what was really going on behind the scenes.
“And so that’s why I want to keep like our primary focus on, ‘Hey are you a Hillary supporter?’ And then if not, then like great move on, you know?” Sarah Sterner, a paid Clinton campaign staff member, said in the video about registering people to vote.
Sterner tells the “volunteer” though that “we don’t want to make our focus voter registration because then we have to like register everyone regardless of whether they’re supporters or not.”
Project Veritas Action said — emphasis theirs — that the video “clearly demonstrates that paid Clinton staffers were quite comfortable in their maneuvering to violate the spirit, if not the letter, of the law.”
The video points to the Iowa Election Law 39A.2(1)(b)(5) part which reads it is unlawful if any person “deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the citizens of this state of a fair and impartially conducted election process.”
The Clinton campaign put its office nationwide on an alert last week after two young women approached campaign staff about making potentially illegal campaign contributions. According to TIME Magazine, a “Clinton official said the campaign is confident it upheld the law.”
Project Veritas Action says the efforts from staff members in the video are “in direct contradiction” of such a statement.
More videos are expected to follow.
