Employees of casino giant Harrah’s may have been pushed by executives to vote early in order to help Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid win his tough re-election campaign against Republican Sharron Angle according to emails leaked to the press. If true, this would violate Federal Election law, as coordinating “Get Out The Vote” efforts cannot be coordinated with a political candidate.
The Federal Election Commission prohibits coordination between companies, unions, and candidates for Get Out The Vote efforts:
No Coordination
Registration and GOTV drives beyond the restricted class cannot be coordinated with any candidate or any political party. 109.21 and 114.4(d)(2).
According to Elizabeth Crum at National Review, a Reid staffer sent an email to Harrah’s top lobbyist Jan Jones, who in turn distributed the email to executives — offering any help possible to get out the vote for Reid. Upon learning that mid-level supervisors are not “cooperating with and listening to upper management,” the Reid staffer even goes so far as to suggest that Harrah’s execs “put a headlock on your supervisors to get them to follow through.”

This is an easy one to do.
Any expendable income is going to companies not working against my ability to earn expendable income.
There are far too many competitors out there to continue to support Harrahs.
I hope they fry over this.
Culture of Corruption and democrat voter fraud ping!!
VOTE THE CORRUPT BASTARDS OUT TODAY!!
Move Along. Nothing to see here. Laws do not apply to our betters.
What does Reids office have to say about this?
Laws are for the little people.
Nothing will be done about this. The damage is already done.
If Reed wins due to things like this, this will be the last time anyone hears about this “issue”.
What does Reids office have to say about this?

Voting intimidation at work. This is EXACTLY what they do in fascist Russia. The dims should be so proud of themselves.
I’m a travel agent and book alot of travel to Vegas.
Non of these will get business from me anymore.
A woman was interviewed by someone at Fox today that said she voted for Harry Reid and when asked why, the voter said she voted for him because he’d been a Senator for alot of years and that should stand for something.
Drives me crazy that people are so stupid.
It does, it stands for corruption.
