Most people working in politics have done work for a zillion other candidates and the state/national party apparatus before. That’s the nature of political work; campaigns only last a few months so people are always job hopping. If that counts as a conflict of interest than every staffer for every single candidate is guilty of a conflict of interest.
- freewilly1040 7y agoYou're supporting my point. If a staffer worked for a campaign and in a role in charge of election integrity at the same time, as this firm is doing, it would indeed be considered a conflict of interest.
- kelnos 7y agoI think the parent's point is that if you only consider contractors/staffers who don't have conflicts of interest of this sort, your hiring pool drops to a number that is too small to be useful. Whether or not that's true is debatable, but I think it's a compelling point.
