So, from what I gather, the Hatch Act involves certain types of government official being nonpartisan by necessity, which sounds good to me.

But what happens when the act of following certain laws becomes partisan in itself (for example, not resorting to vote manipulation)? Most often, you find more corruption in right-wing circles than in left-wing ones. It makes it difficult to act in a manner that is both legal and nonpartisan when the values and actions of the right have become criminal.

To me, this looks like an attempt by the right to get someone out of power just because they don't like her, and it speaks more to their criminality than it does to her non-partisanship or lack thereof.
