O'Keefe releases second video exposé on Battleground Texas
In an exclusive report by Breitbart Texas, it appears that Battleground Texas (BGTX) may have failed to take any action regarding the “admission” of an undercover volunteer with BGTX that she had broken multiple election laws, according to a new video investigation by journalist James O'Keefe's organization Project Veritas.
The allegations come on the heels of sting earlier this year that busted BGTX, a group attempting to turn Texas blue, for illegally copying voters' personal data for campaign purposes. Project Veritas claims that BGTX personnel did not take action after being told by a volunteer that voters were registered by an individual who did not have the authority to do so, and that completed voter forms were lost.
Under Texas law, voter registration can only be performed deputized voter registrars. Volunteer deputy registrars must deliver completed forms to the registrar, and they must receive proper training.
These rules are "very important. It's a crime to handle a completed registration form without being officially certified as a [volunteer deputy registrar]," Mimi Marziani, the Voter Protection Director for BGTX says in a video on the organization's website.
"We wondered how seriously they took their own advice, and the laws of Texas," O'Keefe said.
So Project Veritas sent an undercover investigator, identified as "Ronnie," to find out.
