With early voting for the November presidential election set to begin in September in some states, there are signs across the country that groups are trying to affect the outcome by using deceptive means — and in most cases in ways that would benefit Republican Donald Trump.
FILE - Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks during the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, May 24, 2024. With early voting set to begin in late September in some states, there are signs that groups are trying to affect the outcome by using deceptive means. In most cases, in ways that would benefit Donald Trump by whittling away President Joe Biden ’s already tepid standing with the Democratic Party’s base by offering left-leaning, third-party alternatives.
West’s campaign did not respond to an email seeking comment. The Trump and Kennedy campaigns also did not respond to inquiries. At the beginning of June, West had been largely absent from the campaign trail and his political operation was $30,000 in debt, disclosures show. He had spent just $2,400 this year to gather the signatures needed to qualify for the ballot in states across the U.S.
The company, which didn’t respond to a request for comment, is closely affiliated with Mark Jacoby, a signature gathering operative from California with a longstanding reputation for using deceptive tactics and who was convicted in 2009 of voter registration fraud, court records show. Legal experts say West’s reliance on an army of paid signature gatherers financed by an outside party could cause him legal trouble because it could be viewed as an in-kind contribution to his campaign.
