[NYP] Nearly 100,000 people have signed an online petition calling for Bill Clinton’s arrest for violating Massachusetts election law on Super Tuesday by campaigning close to -- and even inside -- polling places.
The drive was launched by supporters of Bernie Sanders, who accused Bubba of stumping for his wife, Hillary, within 150 feet of a polling location in New Bedford and inside others in Newton and Boston’s West Roxbury neighborhood.
"This is a call for the immediate arrest of President Bill Clinton for clear, knowing and egregious violation of the campaign laws to swing an election in a significant way. It could not be any clearer in the Massachusetts General Laws," the petition states.
Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin’s website says, "On Election Day, certain activities are prohibited within the polling location and within 150 feet of the polling place," including the "solicitation of votes for or against, or any other form of promotion or opposition of, any person or political party."
The Sanders supporters said photos prove the ex-prez violated the law by attending a rally outside a polling place in New Bedford and entering polling stations in the other two communities. |
