Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, August 18, 2026 —
Right-wing activist James O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, has released a hidden-camera video that he claims raises concerns about Minnesota’s election law. The video features O’Keefe and associates, who were reportedly disguised in traditional Muslim attire and spoke with accented English, visiting Minneapolis precincts.
The focus of the video appears to be a Minnesota state law that permits registered voters to vouch for other individuals within their precinct. Project Veritas has alleged that this practice presents issues with election integrity.
In response to the video’s release, Minnesota’s Secretary of State issued a statement criticizing the footage. The Secretary of State also indicated that O’Keefe’s group might face legal consequences for their actions. Specific details regarding the potential legal repercussions were not immediately provided.
The contractor’s name for the video production was not provided. The full extent of any alleged violations or specific evidence beyond the released video was not detailed.
