The polls have yet to close in Nevada, but it looks there are some allegations of foul play. Already! Politco reports that the Sharron Angle campaign has filed a complaint against the Harry Reid campaign. Angle is accusing the Senate Majority Leader of illegal voter intimidation.
According to Politico:
Supervisors were instructed to track down employees who hadn’t voted and find out why, according to e-mails obtained by reporter and conservative blogger Elizabeth Crum.
Reid’s campaign offered money and buses to get the workers to the polls, proposed that Reid personally intervene and told the bosses at Harrah’s to “put a headlock” on supervisors to make sure they got workers out to vote, according to the e-mails between an unnamed Reid staffer and Harrah’s executives.
A casino executive distributed a spreadsheet with the names of employees and asked supervisors to track whether they’d voted.
Angle lawyer Cleta Mitchell decried what she called “union intimidation tactics” and called on the Justice Department to investigate possible election-law violations.

If I was one of those union voters, I’d go cast a vote for Angle out of spite if nothing else.
Let’s hope that this situation grows some legs! Reid is just plain corrupt!
