Harry Reid’s victory may have been due to violation of federal campaign laws
Examiner ^ | November 7, 2010 | Marc Schenker

Harry Reid’s victory over Sharron Angle this past Tuesday may have had a great deal to do with the senator’s campaign breaking not only federal campaign law, but, just to make things worse, criminal law also. According to the Justice Department itself, as recently as this past Friday, it is currently looking over a complaint that Angle’s lawyer has filed, demanding that Reid be investigated for what appears to be coordination between his campaign and a corporation, Harrah’s casino in Las Vegas. The complaint is based on damning e-mails that were exchanged between executives at Harrah’s casino and a staffer working for the Reid campaign. If the allegations are proven true, it may confirm what some people suspected after Reid’s surprise, come-from-behind win (he was consistently down in the polls before last Tuesday’s voting). Namely, that Reid did a lot more than just get all his supporters to the polls in a magical, last-effort push.

But that’s how Democrats get elected... What do you expect them to do?

Thanks. You might as well just tell us to roll over and play dead. There are good, honest, hard-working people here who don’t deserve what Reid has done to the state.

Stay away. Let’s hope you never have a job that depends on tourism.

The state of Nevada could do its own investigations.

Sorry, don’t mean to cast aspersions on the sane Nevadans. I just can’t believe the voters would re-elect that disaster. Deeply disappointed.

Me neither. Vegas is a hell hole. Nevada is a drive thru state. I drive thru on my way to Colorado, Utah - whatever

Arizona tried to do an end around on federal law and got stopped by a Leftist judge and is getting vigorously sued for doing so.

Criminal acts involving national elections (US Representatives and Senators)comes under the aegis of federal law enforcement first.

Sorry but the Big Fox in the hen house has jurisdiction over the little dogs trying to protect it.

Nevada can try,but the DOJ has all the American taxpayers financing their tort lawyers and the Marxist 9th Circus Court of Sh**heels will squash any challenge to the Feds anyway.

Reid “winning” means he ran out the good people who were honestly working, and that left the shills. What we need are more visitors to help bring the employment up so that people can buy homes again. If your attitude about this valley spreads, it will be a ghost town in ten years. Harry didn’t get corrupt here. He got corrupt in DC.

But if the good people were run off and mostly just shills remain then we are rewarding the shills if we return to Las Vegas. I don't why the Casino owners, or their employees, should be rewarded if they buckled under pressure from Reid.

Future headline..... Reid caught having sex with, 2 dogs, 3 kittens and a hamster. Nevada voters vote him in anyway.

What was the name of that congressman that kept getting harrassed by a Texas state prosecuter...was it Army?

The states can investigate violations of state election laws and the feds can investigate viloations of fed laws. If a Fed senator violates state election laws, he can be investigated and charged under state mandates!

It tells us our schools are indoctrinating our children and have been for quite some time. We must get the gov out of our schools.

I don’t gamble, either, but I’m a native Nevadan, and there isn’t much chance I could move, even if I found a climate that agreed with me.

Reid needs to be removed from power. Period.

The sane voters didn’t vote for him. He rigged the machines and as many voters as he could pay off.

If you haven’t read the entire article, you should.

If good people can’t get jobs, they have no reason to stay anywhere. I know of a Master Plumber who applied for work at the new City Center and was passed over in favor of Harry Reid’s illegal, cash-only, cheap workers.

We need to make sure this doesn’t happen again, and get rid of him. In the meantime, people like you aren’t helping those of us who have to stay here, by paying someone else who may live in an area where jobs are plentiful.

Again, not everyone in Vegas is dishonest. Not all the casino owners are Reid shills. Harrah’s is the only casino mentioned, which means Harry probably owns a good percentage of it. In the meantime, thousands of people who work in other casinos are watching their tips disappear.

I have a childhood friend who bought a house and put of three of her girls through college on the tips she made dealing. If she had to deal today, she would be lucky to have an apartment and drive a used car.

The allegation is that Reid was not re-elected by the people - the seat was stolen from the people.

What we need are verifiable, secret ballots, cast by legitimate verified voters. Technically doable. For instance: E-voting without fraud

You are right. Those people should not suffer because some other folks let Reid get away with this criminal activity. I doubt Republicans and conservatives will boycott Vegas over this anyway. That is not our style. But Harrahs should be made to pay. And it wouldn't hurt if the citizens of Nevada put pressure on the Justice Dept to prosecute those involved. I would like to see Reid behind bars.

You and 700,000 other Nevadans. Not to mention all the conservatives across the country and the world. Whorehouse Harry isn't called that because it's cute. He's called that because he is a suck-up to the highest bidder.

Most of us (Nevadans) didn't vote for him because we saw through the lies of his ads. Now, we just need to make sure he realizes that most of the people who live in Nevada don't like his liberal BS.

He needs to know we are onto his lies, thievery, and chicanery, and that we will no longer allow him to screw us. HE'S the whore. Time to B!tch-slap his pimp. (SEIU? Harrah's?)

This is a "right-to-work" state. No one should be forced to join a union.
