'Ballot harvesting is real and it has become a big business,' said James O'Keefe of Project Veritas.
September 28, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The conservative investigative group Project Veritas unveiled a new undercover investigation Sunday, this time detailing an alleged ballot-harvesting scheme orchestrated by allies of Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar.
“Ballot harvesting is real and it has become a big business,” Project Veritas founder and head James O’Keefe said in a press release. “Our investigation into this ballot harvesting ring demonstrates clearly how these unscrupulous operators exploit the elderly and immigrant communities—and have turned the sacred ballot box into a commodities trading desk.”
The video contains Snapchat clips of activist Liban Mohamed bragging about and displaying some of the hundreds of absentee ballots in his car, all of which are for his brother, Minneapolis City Councilman Jamal Osman. “Money is everything, money is the king in this world,” Mohamed says. “Look at all these, my car is full. All these are for Jamal Osman... We got 300 today for Jamal Osman only.”
“Our investigation found that among three locations inside Ward 6, a ballot harvesting triangle, where the scheme operates: the Riverside Plaza apartments, the senior citizen community at Horn Towers and the Minneapolis Elections and Voter Services office at 980 E. Hennepin Ave., which also functions as a voting location and ballot drop-off site,” Project Veritas reports.
Veritas was tipped off to the issue by Minneapolis community activist Omar Jamal of the Somali Watchdog Group, who says “it’s an open secret” that Rep. Omar’s political machine “will do anything that she can do to get elected and she has hundreds of people on the streets doing that.”
