ICYMI: Cruz camp confirms fundraising mailers disguised as legal summonses

Via Newsweek:

Ted Cruz’s Texas senatorial campaign has sent hundreds of thousands of mailers seeking donations that are meant to look like official county summons, a high-ranking campaign official confirmed to Newsweek.

The brown envelopes read “SUMMONS ENCLOSED-OPEN IMMEDIATELY” in large black letters, and have a return address of “official county summons.”

While the letter inside the envelope was a donation form for the Cruz campaign, there was some fear that some voters might be confused by the mailer and believe that they were required by law to pay a fee.

One former staffer for the Ben Carson presidential campaign said it was reminiscent of when Cruz’s campaign notified Iowa voters that Carson had dropped out of the race when, in fact, he had not.
