Legendary investigative reporter James O’Keefe is back with a new video taking aim at the shadowy censorship cartel.
The ‘Election Integrity Partnership’ was exposed in a recent Congressional report as being a creation and a puppet of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
This shadowy organization’s sole role was to censor conservatives online and had little to do with election integrity.
O’Keefe’s former organization attempted to sue the Election Integrity Partnership for its blatant suppression of conservatives; however, a judge ultimately tossed the lawsuit.
The O’Keefe Media Group outlined the malfeasance in this X social media post:
“Congressional report outlines structure of ‘censorship industrial complex.
The House Judiciary Committee released a damning report a week ago proving what we have known all along: that government forces sought to silence and deplatform voices on the right during the 2020 election and beyond, including yours truly.
You’ll remember back when O’Keefe was with Project Veritas that James SUED the Election Integrity Project in Washington State, at Stanford and the University of Washington.
However, a judge moved to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the statements about Veritas are not actionable because they are not factual statements, because they are not capable of being proven true, and because the academic researcher’s statements “lack precision.”
The district court concluded that readers of Stanford and the University of Washington’s academic analysis would have expected to encounter analysis that reflected the authors’ “subjective biases,” including “mischaracterizations and exaggerations,” and thus the specific statements that Project Veritas took issue with were not actionable for defamation because they were not “capable of verification or refutation by means of objective proof.”
In the judge’s order dismissing our lawsuit, he notes the statement that our video had been “debunked” is incapable of being proven true or false.”
“A reasonable inference to be drawn from the complaint,” Thomas S Zilly, US District Judge ,concluded, “is that readers of the EIP blog post would have had some awareness of the allegedly left-leaning biases of the authors.”
The most chilling part is, the government has no plans to stop this unconstitutional “Election Integrity Partnership” censoring program. Expect to see more of the same into the new year, when the election really gets underway.”

Breitbart provided more details:
As Breitbart News previously reported, the Election Integrity Partnership developed a censorship “switchboard” which allowed government the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department could file “tickets” alongside news stories, flagging them so that Big Tech platforms could subsequently suppress or attach warning labels to them.
Notable investigative reporter Matt Taibbi also called out the Election Integrity Partnership in this lengthy X social thread and provided the evidence.
2. On Monday, @Jim_Jordan's Weaponization of Government Subcommittee released a damning report on the “Weaponization of Disinformation.” Packed with subpoenaed documents, it focused on Stanford’s Election Integrity Partnership: https://t.co/qrAvzO1qSZ pic.twitter.com/BcgRi1OGjr

4. Early diagrams of EIP workflow show a central role for DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which would provide a "warm introduction to election and special interest communities."

6. When @Shellenberger and I testified about the EIP before the Weaponization of Government Committee in March, outraged members denied the operation was secret or engaged in censorship. Wrote one, “CISA did not found, fund, or otherwise control the EIP”: pic.twitter.com/wGITI8F4LY

8. Stanford's Renee DiResta to the New Yorker: “Matt Taibbi says something on a Twitter thread, and… members of Congress get to read my e-mails!”
In fact, congress read her emails because voters chose to give members who wanted them subpoena power. That, and FOIA. pic.twitter.com/DXM8AWBpHV

10. In May 2020, Twitter’s Lisa Roman wrote, “CISA received a grant to build a web portal for state and local election officials to report incidents of election-related misinformation,” adding, “This tool has been built in beta form.” pic.twitter.com/8BjNDG2DYg

Judicial Watch confirmed:
An October 7, 2020, email from an EIP official whose name is redacted to a redacted CISA recipient signals the EIP’s partnership with the Center for Internet Security (CIS), a nonprofit funded by DHS, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC):
Hello CIS Partners: given that there is a caveat on the top right hand side that says ‘as of 9/17’, and the caveat at the bottom that says some states might allow later registration, and since the deadlines are changing to a later date, the EIP does not view this as misinformation and it would not violate platform policies.
Our DNC partners are shared onto this ticket so they are aware of potential confusion.
