How fvcking ridiculous!

Pennsylvania state Rep. Kevin Boyle is up for reelection today, and according to a casting call email forwarded to Gawker, he needs some extra friends at Philadelphia polling stations.

The following was sent to us yesterday:

A representative from the Mike Lemon Casting Agency confirmed the email’s authenticity but could not provide any comment. The email provides barely any detail about what “extras” will actually do at these polling stations, though Pennsylvania law prohibits any electioneering inside the sites, or within 10 feet of them from the outside. A spokesperson from the Pennsylvania Department of State told me “there is nothing in the Pennsylvania Election Code that addresses the specific situation you’re describing.”

I won't mention any names, but there are several candidates here in Florida who have done the same thing in statewide races. They hire minorities to go to minority precincts and sign wave because they don't have enough minority supporters to accomplish it on their own but they want to create that impression. Im not talking about Republicans, btw, though they probably do it too.
 
Publicity stunt early yesterday AM may not have worked...as with most (not all) votes counted, he is behind his competitor by 1.01%
