Project Veritas Video Shows McKinney Recall Signatures Delivered

ALERT Breaking Alert

Recall organizers in McKinney have turned in their petition signatures, according to video Project Veritas released on X on Friday afternoon, Sept. 25. The roughly one-minute clip shows a man carrying black file boxes down a hallway and unloading paperwork onto a conference table. Project Veritas says residents “delivered their signatures to City Hall” today. The post does not say how many signatures were submitted, and the man in the video is not identified.

In the post, Project Veritas says it “has been inundated with tips from McKinney residents alleging intimidation and efforts to discourage them from signing.” It has not published those tips or named anyone, and says it “will continue to investigate this story.”

The backstory

The petition seeks to recall Mayor Bill Cox and City Council members Justin Beller, Geré Feltus and Ernest Lynch. It was filed in August, days after the council’s Aug. 4 approval of a mosque and Islamic center site plan. The affidavit cites “a loss of public confidence” in the four officials, and organizers point to spending, transparency, airport expansion and infrastructure, The Dallas Express reported. Opponents, including former Mayor George Fuller, have said the mosque vote is what drove it (CBS Texas).

Under the city charter, the petition needed 5,805 valid signatures from registered McKinney voters, due by 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. Organizers told The Dallas Express on Sept. 24 they had internally verified about 6,500. The city has not certified any count.

What’s known vs. what’s alleged

• Known: A recall affidavit was filed Aug. 12, and the petition needed 5,805 valid signatures by Sept. 26 (city charter; campaign filing record).
• Project Veritas’ report: Signatures were delivered to City Hall on Friday. We have not independently confirmed the delivery or the number submitted.
• Alleged: Intimidation of would-be signers. Project Veritas says residents sent it tips. Organizers made similar claims to CBS Texas and The Dallas Express in August. The Dallas Express reported that Fuller wrote signers’ names and addresses would be open to lawful disclosure. Fuller later told the paper he has no plans to publish them. Its reporting did not establish coordinated retaliation or a crime.
• Next: The city secretary has 30 days to check the signatures. If the petition qualifies and the officials don’t resign, the council must call a recall election. No election has been ordered.
