Univision’s Kamala Harris “town hall” for “undecided Latino Voters” was actually filled with avowed Kamala supporters
The audience members I spoke to were selected with the help of a company called FansOnQ, according to the company s founder, Conny Quintanilla, whose title for yesterday s event was Audience Manager. The company puts out casting calls for events like the Latin Grammy Awards, which have been previously held in Las Vegas. It s a type of company that you might not be consciously aware exists, but once you re told of its existence, it makes perfect intuitive sense: people who want to dance at award shows are vetted by this particular company, perhaps for good looks and rhythmic skills. That s the same company which filled the seats at Kamala s town hall.
Another person told me he was able to attend because he knows people at an unnamed progressive organization, which somehow granted him the ability to get in the town hall audience. The person said he works as an intern for Rep. Steven Horsford, Democrat of Nevada. I m not naming the person because he was wary of attribution. Others quoted here also didn t want to be identified.
These aforementioned attendees were essentially just seat fillers they were not the audience members who were called on to ask pre-selected questions. Those audience members were flown in from around the country at Univision s expense. Which is a bit odd, because there would certainly have been plenty of genuine undecided Latino voters in Clark County, Nevada who I m sure would ve been more than happy to ask Kamala Harris a question.
