Election Interference? 100 British Left-wing Activists Sent To Campaign for Harris

Around 100 left-wing activists are travelling to the US from the UK to campaign on behalf of Kamala Harris

It's unclear whether the mission is breaking federal election law, but it's likely to have damaging effects on the US-UK relationship if Trump wins

In a move that has led to accusations of election interference, around 100 left-wing activists are travelling to the US from the UK to campaign on behalf of Kamala Harris.

Sofia Patel, who works for the UK’s governing Labour Party as director of operations, made a post on Twitter advertising the mission and calling for further volunteers.

“I have nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have 10 spots available for anyone available to head to the battleground state of North Carolina – we will sort your housing. Email me on [email protected] if you’re interested. Thanks!”

Patel previously campaigned in the US for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

After an outcry on social media, Patel deleted the post.

Prominent figures, including Elon Musk and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, suggested Patel and the volunteers are breaking US election law.

“You are breaking [Federal Election Commission] laws. Foreign nationals are not allowed to be involved in anyway in U.S. elections. Please go back to the UK and fix your own mass immigration problems that are ruining your country.”

UK political blog Guido Fawkes states the mission is being paid for by the Democrats and the volunteers will be campaigning “in their own time,” which would not be illegal.

Nigel Farage, a key British ally of Donald Trump and leader of the Reform Party, has said that even if the mission is legal, it could have serious negative consequences for the UK government.

“This is direct election interference by the governing Labour Party, and particularly stupid if Trump wins. Who is paying for all of this?”

In September, The Washington Post reported that strategists from the Labour Party were advising Kamala Harris how to “earn back disaffected voters and run a winning campaign from the center left.”
