I just went through a couple dozen posts with no mention that Margaret Williams's org is ...

... Disenfranchising African-American voters in North Carolina. I mean, personally, I think that if Clinton's chief of staff is a part of a group that's making robocalls telling eligible voters that they can't vote is a big deal.

Shows what I know.

3. The networks are picking it up but not the Clinton angle yet

4. Ok

It's not her org.
The issue is being investigated - it may have been unscrupulous or it may have been just dumb.
There is no evidence that AA voters were being targeted.
They weren't telling eligible voters that they can't vote.
The organization responsible actually appears to be a very good cause. The worst thing about them is that they may be very poorly run.

Shows what I know.

edited to add that I also know that her name is Maggie Williams, not Maggie Williamson

7. Per link provided, calls went out to "black neighborhoods"...

10. While it appears true that some AA households were called

there is not yet any data on exactly what groups of people got these calls. The organization says that they were targeting single women in rural areas. I suspect there are some black women that fit that demographic, but no one has come up with a shred of evidence that they were targeting black neighborhoods. If they do, I will be the first to question why they were doing that.

5. Kicking it as well ...

6. There are other connections besides Maggie Williamson

being the head of WomensVoicesWomensVotes.

Hillary's direct mail guy is president of the company in charge of voter outreach for WVWV.

Naturally, the Clinton campaign owes that firm, MSHC Partners, more than $800,000.

Nice bunch.

11. Her name is Maggie Williams

She is not the head of WVWV.

I can't even respond to the rest of the 6 degrees of separation nonsense.
