Breaking: Report Of High Level DNC Infiltration In N. Carolina Sanders Campaign

[BainsBane]

325. Okay, let's flush this out

Say whoever the Sanders campaign hired for NC was a mole trying to screw up their efforts there.
How did he get hired in the first place and why was there no supervision? Why wouldn't flags have been raised when they reported in about their activities: how many calls made each day, doors knocked on, events held, etc...? Why wouldn't they have been asked to account for their activities in regular conference calls with the national campaign staff? Why didn't the regional or national field director figure out what was going on?

However you look at it, incompetence was a major factor in not properly vetting their staffers and overseeing their activities.

In my state, the Clinton campaign had field directors for six congressional districts. They also had two staff that oversaw them, and when NH finished a number of staff came there to help out. If one or three people were screw ups or moles, it would be have been caught by head staffers, who it turn reported to regional and national field directors. Voter turn out is the heart of a campaign. You don't leave it to non-professionals or those who the campaign doesn't know and trust well. The staff work 12 plus hour days, 7 days a week. In any reasonably competent organizational structure, someone screwing up efforts, either deliberately or by sheer incompetence, would be spotted and terminated. At the very least, the Sanders campaign lacked proper procedures for hiring and overseeing staff.
