All is fair in Politics?

Exactly where should we, as Democrats, draw the line on election shenanigans? Is something like this example acceptable? Is it election fraud, or just an unavoidable aspect of politics? To be fair I believe I have heard that something similar has also been happening in the GOP field, but should this be a tactic we Democrats tolerate in the name of party unity?

Update: I sent a message to Denise Gibbs twitter account asking her whether this claim is true or manufactured. As soon as I receive a response I will post it here.

1. Can you prove it hasn't been doctored?

[NorthCarolina]

2. No, but can you prove it is doctored?

If you can I will of course delete the post immediately.

5. Find a photo of her known signature and put the photos next to each other.

3. Can you prove you aren't RandySF?

Proving a negative is almost impossible, which is why a prosecutor must prove a positive!

16. Except the original claim is that the notice is real

There is no proof that it is. It's generally considered incumbent on the person making the claim to provide proof, especially one where the claim is that one of the Democratic candidates is intentionally cheating.

9. Here's how it goes. We represent the honest wing of the Party. The Wealthy Wing will literally

do anything to win. They can hire Karl Rove for example. Clinton's motto is "The ends justify the means". Remember she is tough and that seems to be the quality you value over honesty.

4. This is something Rove-types would do to Dems. Check the signature.

Does it match her known signature?

10. They can fake a signature in a heart beat and would have grabbed a correct .gif of her signature.

11. The Establishment Republicons have decided to back Clinton over Trump. Rove works for Clinton now.

Thank the Bush Crime Family for the loan of Rove.

6. Draw the line RIGHT THERE!

8. More indication of election fraud. How Ted Cruz.

If she wins I will not believe she won without fraud.

12. Fraud was successfully used in 2000 and 2004 without repercussions. Why wouldn't the Ruling Class

continue to use it. We are fighting a war for our democracy and the Ruling Class and their puppets are not on our side. Vote Sanders to fight the corruption of big money in politics.

19. +10000. My mother and I decided to be at the polls at 8am tomorrow because we don't trust 9am. They

open at 10. I'm bringing an extra fold out chair for my mother because she is older and can't stand long. We can't wait to vote for Bernie.

13. So Hillary knows everyone that will vote for Bernie?

Can you explain how she knows just who to send these letters to? Has she got a list of everyone voting for Bernie and if so does she have a mind reader working for her?

Come on people this is BS!

[NorthCarolina]

15. Well, there WAS a point in time

where her campaign DID have access to Sanders file info...whether her campaign took advantage of that "accidental" access or not I cannot say. Guess we'll just never really know.

14. What would make me think that this isn't Hillary's signature

is the loop on the "y," although in some samples on the Google images page, there is a loop. Everything else about that signature looks legit.

[mythology]

17. You're looking at an image and you don't have the source file

You can't make any sort of claim as to the authenticity. I can find a copy of Hillary Clinton's signature online. If you'd like, you can do a simple Google image search and find multiple.

18. That's what I did,

and of course an original exemplar would be needed to make a definitive determination, which I didn't. I was certificated in handwriting analysis many years ago, and I know that original samples are necessary.

[blm]

20. It also doesn't make sense that she would be deliberately trying to misinform her own base

of older women voters.

I happily expect Sanders to win this state, but, this does look more to me like a Rove type op or a huge mistake by the HRC campaign because it hurts HER voters. I highly doubt it was done as a dirty trick by anyone with Sanders campaign.

As a Dem I don't want ANY voter disenfranchised.
