A controversial voter-turnout tactic employed by Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign in Iowa is cropping up in New Hampshire, this time by way of a mysterious organization about which few public details are available.
Voters in New Hampshire received envelopes in the mail this week claiming to contain “important taxpayer information,” according to Christopher Crawford, who received one of the mailers and posted pictures of it on Twitter. Mr. Crawford, who recently moved to Washington, was visiting his parents at their home in Nashua, N.H., this week when he opened an envelope addressed to him only to find a chart showing the names and voting history of several of his parents’ neighbors. “What if your friends, your neighbors, and your community knew whether you voted?” the mailer says, before promising Mr. Crawford that “we plan to mail an updated chart” after the New Hampshire primary. The tactic, known as “vote shaming,” is designed to encourage people to turn out to vote. Mr. Cruz’s version, sent to voters in Iowa, contained a stamp suggesting to recipients that they were guilty of an unspecified “voting violation.” The mailer drew condemnation from voting officials in Iowa.

Like I said before, if you think this is a legit government document, you don't need to be voting for anything more important than the employee of the month at Subway.

7.12 Billion people on the planet and Cruz is the only one that can do this? After the negative reactions from this happening in Iowa, I wouldn't imagine Cruz's people would do it again. People are sure pussies. Just throw it in the trash if you don't like it. I'd guess the people most offended are likely guilty as charged.  |

So Cruz gets blasted or doing a mailing that clearly says it was paid for by him, and used no seals or official marks... So you think he would do another, leave his name off it (which is required by law), and use seals to make it look official? I think it's more likely Trump or Rove are behind it to smear Cruz. |

I'll go on record, as Trump supporter, that I do not think Ted Cruz sent out this mailer. The letter is terrible with a terrible font, it looks very rushed. Cruz's campaign is more professional than that. So I don't believe Cruz is behind this one. However, I do have to laugh at Cruz because he opened himself up to this shit show by what he did do in Iowa.

Cruz slips to 5th place, Jeb in second:
With the New Hampshire primary happening tomorrow, a new Emerson College statewide survey shows Republican Donald Trump poised to win in the Granite State with 31% of likely GOP primary voters. The battle is on for second place, with the next four candidates separated by just 5 percentage points: Jeb Bush (16%), John Kasich (13%), Marco Rubio (12%) and Ted Cruz (11%). In the Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders maintains a lead over Hillary Clinton, 54% to 42%. |
