Several election officials in Texas were caught on hidden camera suggesting that non-citizens can vote and are voting, while some Ohio, Georgia, and New Jersey poll workers instructed undercover reporters on who or what to vote for.

The videos were released by Project Veritas and Project Veritas Action, two nonprofits founded by James O’Keefe, whose guerrilla style of undercover journalism has developed into a highly effective operation that has garnered headlines across the country for about a decade.

‘We Get Tons of Them’

One of the reporters told a Texas poll worker that her boyfriend is a recipient of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a protection from deportation for illegal immigrants who arrived in the United States as minors, which was ordered by President Barack Obama in 2012.
