Doug Jones Seeks Inquiry Into Misinformation Efforts

New York Times: “Jones, the Democrat who was an unwitting beneficiary of misinformation tactics during a special election in Alabama in 2017, asked the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday to investigate the episodes… The overall effort, which cost $100,000, was underwritten through an intermediary by Reid Hoffman, a co-founder of LinkedIn.”

Said Jones: “Such deceptive tactics have no place in American politics and must be repudiated by those involved in our political system.”
