Epp clarifies: Money for votes deal pre-June 3

Todd Epp has clarified the report about the Hillary Clinton campaign’s offer to host a fundraiser for the SD Dem Party in exchange for 2 super-delegate votes. (See post below.) This took place before the June 3 primary.

There seems to be some misunderstanding about my story on the Clinton fundraiser for 2 SD delegates. It was being discussed prior to the June 3 primary.

It also was being discussed Thursday at the SD Dem Party’s executive board meeting, Epp reported at S.D. Watch. Apparently this was a rehashing of an old dispute?

The story still has some legs, however.

Got an email from The Hill. They may follow up on the Clinton fundraiser for 2 superdelegates story I broke.

Perhaps we’ll find out how widespread the Clinton campaign’s money-for-votes effort was. As it’s been observed, 2 puny votes from SD wouldn’t do much for Hillary. This would seem to be part of a broader strategy.
