Alex Seitz-Wald is a senior politics reporter for NBC News.
A dozen paid operatives registered Sunday with Arizona’s secretary of state to collect signatures on behalf of left-wing presidential candidate Cornel West, listing their employer as a Republican-leaning firm that recently worked for GOP House candidate Blake Masters. Arizona, unlike most states, requires paid or out-of-state petition-gatherers to register with the state.
West will have to collect tens of thousands of signatures to get on the ballot in Arizona, but it’s unlikely the West campaign is paying the circulators. The campaign is essentially broke, reporting in its most recent campaign finance report that it owed more money than it had on-hand. And the campaign has said it is ideologically committed to using volunteers instead of paid canvassers.
