O'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 O’Keefe and his Project Veritas crew released another hidden camera video targeting the Democrat front-runner’s field organization.
In the video, Clinton campaign staffers appear to be co-mingling voter registration efforts with simultaneously promoting Hillary Clinton’s 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. That’s an apparent violation of election law, which prohibits registration workers from advocating for a candidate or a party,” The Daily Caller reported.

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.

And not going to do it now against Hillary. This is the lesson, do not use right-wing loon propaganda to destroy a democrat you oppose. I learned this when bill Clinton was president.

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.

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.

The alert you sent came to the hosts. You made a 'statement of purpose alert' which goes to the hosts

here's the SoP

Statement of Purpose

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
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.


^^^^that one is what you'd use if you're questioning a source. A jury would decide the alert.

...not promoting it like you seem to be here.

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.

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.

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.

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.
