2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Bill Clinton was campaigning right near polling place entry. Video leaves no doubt. [View all]
Several Bernie Sanders supporters were told they could not hold their signs near the polling station, but Bill Clinton and others were pushing the crowd to vote for Hillary Clinton much closer to the Buttonwood Park Warmer Center, which is a polling station for Ward 5E and 5F. The entrance to the warming center was just to the left of President Clinton in this photo. Not sure how anyone could have voted for about 20 minutes.
Here is the video of the visit:

Here is the MA law:
"Within 150 feet of a polling place no person shall solicit votes for or against, or otherwise promote or oppose, any person or political party or position on a ballot question, to be voted on at the current election. No campaign material intended to influence the vote of a voter in the ongoing election, including campaign literature, buttons, signs, and ballot stickers, may be posted, exhibited, circulated, or distributed in the polling place, in the building where it is located, on the building walls, on the premises where the building stands, or within 150 feet of an entrance door to the building. ( 950 CMR 53.03(18); 54.04.22)"

It's not a conspiracy. It sure the fuck is "the appearance of impropriety" though.

It's not "otherwise promoting" to specifically thank those who are voting for Hillary?

Watch the video. Yes, he was loudly openly campaigning and reliving his time as president.

You can go on with denial but first at least watch the video of him right outside the door.

Massachusetts is now reporting 50% to 49%. Did these illegal tactics have an impact?
