WVWV black vote suppression scandal worsens - Jill thinks it’s racist

The same firm that does WVWV’s “women’s outreach”, aka black vote suppression, does Hillary Clinton’s campaign voter contact.

But one of the most striking connections between WVWV and the Clinton campaign — and one particularly relevant to a story involving what appear to be voter suppression efforts right before an election — was pointed out to us by a reader. He notes that the firm in charge of voter outreach for WVWV is MSHC Partners, whose president is Hal Malchow. Sourcewatch.org reports that Malchow was a member of WVWV’s leadership team.

At the same time, MSHC also does direct mail and outreach for the Hillary Clinton campaign. In fact, the campaign owes MSHC $807,000, according to Politico.com.

And Jill says she agrees with this conclusion.

How much WVWV’s intent is to buck up Clinton’s chances in the primary remain to be seen, but in a state where something like 45% of the voters are African-American, sending voters confusing and wrong information is anti-democratic. If it’s intentional, then I’d call it racist, too.

White feminists, you’re really fucking up here.
