WILL SEIU OWN MCAULIFFE? Terry McAuliffe, a long-time Clinton fund-raiser and enforcer, wants a second stint as Virginia’s governor and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is spending big to make it happen, according to Capital Research Center’s Hayden Ludwig, writing in the Washington Free Beacon.

After handing $40,000 to a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit that specializes in registering new Democratic voters, Ludwig reports, the SEIU “endorsed a mailer that contains a partially pre-filled absentee ballot application form sent by the D.C.-based Center for Voter Information, a left-of-center vote-by-mail advocacy group.

“The mailers, one of which was obtained by the Virginia Project, have targeted over two million voters across 134 Virginia counties and cities, urging them to register for mail-in ballots ahead of the November election, when Virginians will vote for their next governor and control of the House of Delegates.”

McAuliffe is in a close race with Republican Glen Youngkin, so the SEIU-funded effort could make the difference. Given his record, McAuliffe will be only too happy to accommodate whatever the union demands in return.
