Harry Reid's Campaign May Have Violated Federal Election Laws With Harrah's Casino

Harry Reid's campaign may have engaged in unethical behavior surrounding a get out the vote campaign designed around early voting and Harrah's Casino.

From National Review:

Cleta Mitchell, Republican senate candidate Sharron Angle’s legal counsel, sent a letter to the Department of Justice today, requesting an investigation into whether the coordination between Democrat senate candidate Harry Reid’s campaign’s and Harrah’s revealed voter intimidation in violation of federal law.

Referring to an article by Battle ‘10’s Elizabeth Crum about the e-mails between Reid’s campaign and Harrah’s, Mitchell wrote in the letter that “The posting details and documents an orchestrated effort by Harrah’s … to intimidate and coerce Harrah’s employees to vote for Harry Reid for the United States Senate, to track whether or not employees had or had not voted and to pressure supervisors to ensure that the employees reporting to those supervisors were voting.”

“And these overt activities were specifically demanded by one or more persons who work for Sen. Reid,” she added. “The evidence shows that Harrah’s management has continually communicated to employees their concern with electing Harry Reid and not just to ensure that the employees voted for the candidates of their choice.”

Interesting how Democrats cried foul after a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that lifted restrictions on corporations support of candidates, and now it looks like Harry Reid's campaign has been caught pushing the ethical boundaries of the Court's ruling.
