Hillary Clinton Gaming Voter Registration Laws

by JASmius



Pot, kettle, black:

Hillary Clinton’s campaign offices around the country have been put on alert after at least two women approached Iowa staff under the guise of being supporters in an apparent effort to catch the campaign engaging in improper or illegal activity, a[Rodham] campaign official said. 

The motivations of the women is not known, but their alleged techniques match those of Project Veritas, the conservative group run by James O’Keefe, which specializes in undercover stings meant to embarrass liberal groups and politicians. The group declined to comment on the [Rodham] campaign’s allegations. “Project Veritas does not comment on investigations, real or imagined,” said Daniel Pollack, the director of communications for the group....

In another instance, a woman volunteering with the [Rodham] campaign on voter registration efforts in Iowa City returned to the campaign’s office in Des Moines and asked whether it was okay that she refuse to register people who don’t support [Mrs.] Clinton, the campaign official said. The [Rodham] campaign maintains that its policy is to register all voters, regardless of their preference in candidates.

Oh, really?  That's not what PVA uncovered:

Filmed by hidden camera by Project Veritas supporters posing as [Rodham] volunteers, the video shows a [Rodham] campaign staffer discussing strategies for targeting voter registration efforts. The campaign’s [claimed] policy is to register all those who ask to register, a [claim] the staffer repeats.

But the staffer is also seen encouraging the “volunteer” to first ask whether the Iowans they encounter are [Rodham] supporters before asking if they are registered to vote. “We don’t want to make our focus be voter registration, because then we have to, like, register everyone regardless of whether they’re supporters or not,” the [Rodham] organizer is shown saying.

Nothing in the video shows the [Rodham] campaign violating the law, or the campaign’s own policy. But Veritas claims, nonetheless, that the campaign is “skirting the law” by first asking whether potential voters are supporters before making the registration offer. [emphasis added]

Not functionally different from how libs claim that voter ID laws and every other attempt to stamp out voter fraud that benefits Democrats constitutes "vote suppression".  And trademark Clintonoid psychological projection, smearing Hillary's opponents with the very scheming actions of which she and her cadre are themselves guiltier than sin.  For which their best defense is "Everybody does it".

Perhaps so, in this case.  But nobody does it like the Ugly Dutchess.

Exit question: D'ya s'pose that if Mrs. Clinton hadn't been so overtly hostile to her media allies over the past year, she might be a bit less vulnerable to her media enemies right now?
