PARAMUS, NEW JERSEY- On New Hampshire Primary Day,
Project Veritas, while violating no laws, exposed the ease in which
voter fraud can occur in states lacking voter identification
requirements.
Project Veritas' work has been praised New Hampshire's legislative
leaders, yet the reaction also includes articles by large media
organizations that stated false and defamatory statements and articles.
The
New Jersey Star-Ledger editorial board reported O’Keefe
“committed a felony by fraudulently obtaining a ballot in the name of
another person; [broke] New Hampshire law by recording another person.”
Additionally the
Star-Ledger Editorial board wrote January 22
nd,
O’Keefe is “still on probation for trying to tap the phone of Sen. Mary
Landrieu. The Star-Ledger had previously printed a retraction for this
claim on November 3
rd, 2010.
Project Veritas' president, James O'Keefe commented, “Media outlets
obviously intent on protecting a system that fosters voter fraud, have
defamed me by claiming I and PV committed voter fraud. The
Star-Ledger
even went so far as to print a ‘trying to tap phones lie’ after
retracting that lie over a year ago, when presented with court documents
that proved the contrary.”
“It is my experience that
demanding retractions from dishonorable people only leads to
dishonorable retractions. Therefore, today I started a campaign to
combat media organizations that state or repeat malicious lies about my
work."
The lawsuit filed this morning against the
New Jersey Star Ledger seeks monetary damages and an injunction compelling them to print another retraction with language approved by the court.
