Related: About this forumO'Keefe strikes again HRC campaign in NV is under investigation for alleged election law violations
The Hillary Clinton campaign in Nevada is reportedly under investigation for alleged election law violations.
This development emerged after muckraking journalist/conservative activist James OKeefe and his Project Veritas crew released another hidden camera video targeting the Democrat front-runners field organization.
In the video, Clinton campaign staffers appear to be co-mingling voter registration efforts with simultaneously promoting Hillary Clintons candidacy for president which is apparently improper under state election law.
The video purports to show an undercover Project Veritas journalist recording the campaign staffers discussing how during voter registration drives they openly endorsed Clinton and the Democratic Party. Thats an apparent violation of election law, which prohibits registration workers from advocating for a candidate or a party, The Daily Caller reported.

(7,661 posts)but I thought since there was a post earlier today pushing O'Keefe garbage against Bernie I thought some might be interested in this article.

(17,064 posts)That would appear to be a pretty blatently violation of the rules.

(16,375 posts)A voter isn't registered until the appropriate government election officials have received and recorded their form. A registration form with a candidate's photo, name, logo, etc would be thrown out and if it happened again, the group doing registrations would be decertified permanently. Election officials take their jobs very seriously.

UglyGreed
(7,661 posts)I was told earlier today that the source was good since it was siphoned through a local station. I don't like BS and hypocritical actions and I'm going to call it out when I see such actions.

(3,580 posts)I don't believe anything coming from right-wing sources.
giftedgirl77
(4,713 posts)hypocritical as hell considering your typical sources but this takes the cake. Guess it was only a problem bc the allegation was against the Sanders Campaign?
UglyGreed
(7,661 posts)and their use of Fox News and the use of Koch's Reason here also, thanks for the kick

(14,733 posts)that any video O'Keefe provides of ANYTHING is trustworthy, given his past history.

(20,043 posts)before you start threads complaining about what was or wasn't done.
Sources are not in the hosts description. That's a job for juries.
UglyGreed
(7,661 posts)Not sure what you mean.
one_voice
(20,043 posts)I realized I wasn't clear.
Host's jobs are limited. When you alert for a source that's used that's a jury alert. That can only be decided by a jury.
I'm sorry I was short with my first response.
UglyGreed
(7,661 posts)email on the results. It did confirm my alert was sent though
one_voice
(20,043 posts)The alert you sent came to the hosts. You made a 'statement of purpose alert' which goes to the hosts
here's the SoP
A forum for general discussion of the Democratic presidential primaries. Disruptive meta-discussion is forbidden.
We don't don't decide on what's acceptable as far as sources. That would be a community standard alert.
You inadvertently sent the wrong alert.
When you alert, the first is for the first 'alert bubble' is for hosts--we handle SoP
the second 'alert bubble' is community standards
^^^^that one is what you'd use if you're questioning a source. A jury would decide the alert.
UglyGreed
(7,661 posts)I don't do alerts too often so I messed up.

What exactly is this about. Baiting? Or are you denouncing O'Keefe?
Here's what I posted when this first surfaced about Hillary.
the 'ACORN' demagogue?
James Edward O'Keefe III is an American conservative activist. He has produced secretly recorded undercover audio and video encounters, some selectively edited, with figures and workers in academic, governmental and social service organizations, purportedly showing abusive or alleged illegal behavior by representatives of those organizations. He gained national attention for his release of video recordings of workers at ACORN offices in 2009...

More republican crap posing as legitimate criticism of our Democratic candidates.

(20,043 posts)Here's one from Townhall : http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511071431
one more recently using free beacon: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511274368
I know Townhall was used at least more times.
There are more and the juries left most if not all of these.
There were complaints when they were used here and largely shut down. Now it's been used against Bernie and all of a sudden it's a bad thing.
I'm not directing that at you, just in general...one of at least one of those threads has jury results.
There's another thread that used 'righscoop.com' and a jury left it. I'm not linking to it because the OP eventually took the link out. But the link was defended--by asking what was false about the story.
Now the shoe is on the other foot, it's not as comfortable.
UglyGreed
(7,661 posts)or two early on here because I did not know about some right wing sites like Hot Air since I do not go to such site. But I have been called a right winger once too many times here in GD P for posting even Huffington Post or CNN articles so I will call out BS when I see it.
one_voice
(20,043 posts)I've called out right wing sites, when I see them. Using them to bash one of our candidates is unacceptable. It's NEVER ok.
There's a difference between that and posting something to say hey so-in-so is at their old tricks again be on the look out/kill this noise when you see it etc.
Huge difference in those two scenarios.
I've been very outspoken in the first. There's no reason to pull attacks from right wing sites--you're (in the general sense) on Democratic underground. It should never be acceptable to anyone, imo.
