[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a lawyer but admittedly know nothing about election law or the Hatch Act except what I've just read above. But, seems to me that the Democratic *endorsement* is not the same as running as a Dem. The pledge doesn't require her to run as a Dem, and the election itself is still non-partisan. No? [/quote] Did you read the part where seeking the ac dc endorsement requires the candidate to declare Democratic Party affiliation. She’s already declared herself a democrat by filing. Seems like she is in violation of the hatch act, unless somehow it’s permissible to run as a democrat for the purposes of the caucus and an independent (as everyone technically does) in the general. It’s a violation of the spirit of the law, but then again, so is the ac dc involvement in a non partisan election a violation of the ideal of keeping partisan politics out of at least one corner of our democracy.[/quote]
