In the latest scandal involving Ilhan Omar, some of her supporters in Cedar Riverside are accused of doing ballot harvesting . The news is all over CNN and Fox and even President Trump spoke about it

The worst part of this whole thing is a Reer Sool man was the lead false witness/snitch.

All Somalis should be happy with representation. Problem with Somalis is too many chiefs not enough Indians. Worse is that Somalis do not realise wait your turn and you will have your turn.

Why do you talk about US news like someone foreign and outside to it? Either that or someone new to all of this.

The liar and saboteur rightwing hack pushes out a conspiracy theory JUST WHEN TRUMPS TAX INFO IS RELEASED---

It is literally designed just to talk and change the subject.

He is a liar, saboteur, and he has lost in Court for these stunts.

There is no story here and it was quickly squashed because the media isn't the gullible media of before

The videos look amateurish, therefore questionable. What's baffling is, both democratically elected presidents Madoobe & Deni are allies, yet the OP is against Deni's people.

No, don’t talk about something you don’t know. Minneapolis police open investigation into the case, and it’s not just some right wingers, there are some Somali community leaders like Omar Jamal included in the investigation.

Project Veritas is a misinformation right wing outlet that doesn’t delve in facts.

The Republicans keep crying about ballot harvesting cause they don’t want people to vote. All over the country they’re litigating against early voting in Texas and Wisconsin, to trying to have absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day to not count if they arrive after Nov 3.

The video is suppose to look amateurish because it’s an undercover video.
And what has this to do with Deni and Madoobe. Do you really think I care so much about those guys that I make all my life decisions based on who supports them and who is against them?
That is a backward way to thing, I’m college educated person.

Ironman-

Let us put it this way. This is a case of "all publicity is good publicity."

The goal isn't to bring down Ilhan. It is not even to hurt her. Project Veritas is even prepared for sacrifice----or the possibility that Ilhan will sue after the dust settles.

The goal isn't Ilhan at all you see, nor is ir even right or wrong.

The goal is "distraction."

The goal is to cause an outlandish scene to distract away from one of the biggest hits to land on Trump.

Ever since "Swift Boat" by Karl Rove against John Kerry, an entre Rightwing sabotage strategy started. This guy in particular has been doing this in 3 Presidential cycles right now.

The irony is Trump is why the Ilhan smear didn't land. Trump has swung the pendulum so far in being distracting and wretched that virtually nothing else can get our attention.

At the end of this, I bet you there will be legal repercussions but it won't be Ilhan indicted.

It will be those guys used by Project Veritas who don't know and do not yet understand they became sacrificial pawns.

Project Veritas by now knows how to play at the edge of th law but not be bitten by it.

Oh the things we take for granted. This is when you feel like America is different countries in one.

MY ENTIRE STATE ELECTIONS ARE "ABSENTEE."

Literally Fah, we vote by mail.

There are no lines, there are no polling stations, we don't have to worry about missing scho/work/whatever.

We don't have to worry about someone making it hard for us to vote. There are no double dealing voter id gimmicks (texas with their yes to gun license but no to student id), heck I don't even remember having to register.... that's how I take it for granted that I don't even know and never even had to question if we have universal registration (everyone over 18 automatically voter registered)---

We get our ballots a month in advance and we fill it out whenever we want in the comfort of our own home.

Afterwards, doesn't require a stamp or anything.

We just drop it in our mailbox, take it to any post office/Fed Ex, or drop it in any of state election boxes littered everywhere.

OH, AND AS LONG AS IT IS POST-MARKED BY ELECTION DAY, IT WILL BE COUNTED. DOESN'T MATTER WHEN THEY ARRIVE THERE.

Wallahi it is crazy when you think about how one party (Democrats) lives and breathes Democracy while the other party (Republicans) put Russia/China to shame in fighting Democracy.

Yet Republicans are the ones telling you how they have a copy of that CONSTITUTION in their breastpocket

Omar Jamal, the insider, is under investigation. Apparently, he's soliciting half a million dollars for the favor he did for Veritas. He's probably in bankruptcy due to the recession, in which case it would only aggravate his financial (and possibly legal) situation if he's indicted for fraud.

Yep, you all in the Northwest have mastered this. In Maryland we're seeing a lot more mail voting. I dropped my hooyo's ballot this morning. I'm going to do early in person just cause it is taking awhile to get a ballot once you request it.

I want the GOP to lose badly, so badly

Cite 3-5 reasons why you want it so. Do you still want it even if it leads to civil war?
