She posed for pictures with some other voters, including electrician Dennis Campbell, who later said, “She was telling me how important it was to vote to keep her husband’s agenda going.”
Does this rise to the level of campaigning and was it done within 100 feet?

Within the city of Detroit, the UAW picks up and busses in the people within a specific voting district and then takes them home. Most of them are the elderly who can't get around.
Once INSIDE THE POLING STATION, there is an individual passing out a pamphlet which is identical to the butterfly ballots commonly used in these poling stations.
All the voter has to do is lay down the pamphlet on top of the butterfly ballot and vote according to the pamphlet. The pamphlet is complete with a picture of each individual running for office with a red "X" of the individual who is not recommended for election.
This was brought to my attention back in the 2000 or 2004 election by my niece's husband, who was from Texas, who voted for the first time here on Detroit's East Side. He waited 3 hours in line and was one of only a handful of whites voting in that particular precinct and watched as the busses pulled in.........The pamphlet I mentioned was given to him AFTER he entered the polling station.
As for the claim about the UAW offering bus service, that was substantiated by my niece's husband and also verified by company's UAW benefits rep who was a friend of mine.
This was an illegal action on her part.
