Independent presidential candidate Cornel West’s campaign is taking action against what they describe as 'deceptive digital practices' that have affected their online presence. The campaign recently discovered that several domain names related to West and his running mate Melina Abdullah were redirecting users to the website of former President Donald Trump’s campaign.
The campaign has reached out to the website domain hosting company GoDaddy to address the issue of unauthorized redirection. The domain names in question include WestAbdullah.com, WestAbdullah2024.com, and WestAbdullah.org. West’s campaign is working to stop these domains from redirecting to the Trump campaign’s website.
In response to this incident, West issued a statement condemning the website redirection as 'deceptive tactics' that undermine the democratic process. He emphasized that his campaign is committed to truth and justice and will not tolerate any actions that compromise these values. West highlighted the importance of maintaining transparency and honesty in the electoral process, stating that democracy is at risk when deceptive tactics are used to mislead voters.
While the West campaign did not directly accuse any specific party of being responsible for the domain redirection, they did criticize the pro-Biden super PAC Clear Choice for allegedly obstructing West’s ballot access in North Carolina. The campaign suggested that the PAC may be involved in the website redirection without providing concrete evidence to support this claim.
