Blatant registration fraud in Las Vegas/NV. |
|
The out-of-state firm has been in Las Vegas for the past few months, registering voters. It employed up to 300 part-time workers and collected hundreds of registrations per day, but former employees of the company say that Voters Outreach of America only wanted Republican registrations.
Two former workers say they personally witnessed company supervisors rip up and trash registration forms signed by Democrats.
"We caught her taking Democrats out of my pile, handed them to her assistant and he ripped them up right in front of us. I grabbed some of them out of the garbage and she tells her assistant to get those from me," said Eric Russell, former Voters Outreach employee.
Eric Russell managed to retrieve a pile of shredded paperwork including signed voter registration forms, all from Democrats. We took them to the Clark County Election Department and confirmed that they had not, in fact, been filed with the county as required by law.
...
The company has been largely, if not entirely funded, by the Republican National Committee. Similar complaints have been received in Reno where the registrar has asked the FBI to investigate. http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=2421595&nav=168XRvNe

1. Saw this elsewhere on here. |
|
Wonder how many other states they've been 'getting Democrats out of the vote' in?

3. Not if we don't let them. |
|
Not just we, the Democrats, but we, the people.

4. So why can't we get this info to the major media? |
|
There has to be a way to do this IN Vegas! I don't know any reporters, but I'm sure some on Du must!

5. The story was broken by KLAS TV, which is pretty major |
|
as far as LV goes, I assume.
But this stuff is forming a pattern. Florida 2000, the Ohio monkey business a couple of weeks ago (which apparently hasn't been entirely resolved), and so on. You really have to wonder why no one nationally is picking up the story and seeing where they can take it.

8. I guess that's what I meant! National!!!! |
|
I'm glad the major in Vegas ran it, but it really needs to go National!
BTW, I would say the same thing if this was some Dem group! This dishonesty and criminal shit has to be stopped!

7. ROVE IS FROM RENO, NEVADA kids!!! |
|
This was planned. You saw our Secretary of State and AG stumping for Bush this last week. This was all planned. Anybody ever looked into sequoia electronic voting machines? Why did Dean Heller make his announcement, against Las Vegas' wishes last year to go with sequoia after Rove and the Bush/Cheney crew were here in a clandestine meeting in Reno??? Get ready for Florida - Nevada Style!
