ST. PAUL, Minn. — Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has modified a request for money after a Minnesota official questioned whether it constituted an illegal raffle. In a letter on the campaign’s website, campaign manager David Plouffe tied the solicitation to the announcement that Obama will deliver his nomination acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High. The website had previously offered supporters who donated at least $5 to the campaign a chance to win a free trip for two to the Democratic National Convention. But a campaign spokesman in Minnesota says the request was modified so that a donation was not required to win the trip.
