Democratic congressional candidate and former Obama administration official Ro Khanna recruited two Republican candidates to enter a primary race to split the vote and weaken his top Republican opponent, according to a lawsuit filed in Superior Court of California.
Khanna’s campaign, the executive committee of which includes five Obama campaign veterans, recruited an Indian-American candidate with a similar name to Republican opponent Vanila Singh to confuse voters, according to the lawsuit filed by Alameda County Republican Central Committee member Jeffrey Wald and obtained by The Daily Caller.
Additionally, at least one Khanna supporter collecting signatures for a last-minute candidate said that the effort would help Khanna, according to the lawsuit. TheDC has also learned that one of the last-minute candidates was recently employed by the law firm Khanna currently works for.
