By Jill Serjeant

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Democrats on Wednesday charged that the national Republican party was linked to a group accused of trying to stop Democrats from registering to vote in at least two Western battleground states, Nevada and Oregon.


The accusations come as voters rush to meet registration deadlines and election officials around the country report surging registrations, with just three weeks to go in the cliffhanger U.S. presidential campaign.


"We have learned from news reports that a Republican organization, Voters Outreach for America, has been registering voters and then ripping up the forms when registers identify themselves as Democrats," Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) chairman Terry McAuliffe said in a telephone briefing.

1. Why do they always feel the need to cheat?
I just saw this story on CNN. I am disgusted. The heartbreaking thing was they showed a very young African American male who was doing this for the Republican party (I don't recall if he was in Or or NV). The kid said he is a Democrat, but he was working for the Republicans and was merely doing what they told him to do.

WTF?

3. They cheat because they can't win honestly.
They offer nothing except to make our lives worse.

6. They cheat because they have no respect for democracy
they are only interested in power.

5. Reuters can't even report the facts without covering for Repugs.
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 11:52 PM by w4rma
They didn't have to quote any Democrats. All they had to do was report the facts as they were found. All the Dems did was tell Reuters to look at the news Reports, and it appears obvious that either they didn't or they have decided to obscure what is happening in these states. The AP and Reuters are nothing but propaganda.

This article could have been covered simply and easily. The original article and news segment was clean, clear and concise. This article is confusing (intentionally, imho) and spends time on things that do not add to the story.

7. MSNBC did a story on it too...
Except of course they had to say that Republican's denied the accusations. What-fuckin' ever.

I hope this is ok, I want to get the word out, i'm going to take the link from Reuters to other boards I visit. This is such bullshit. Everyone should know Fla in 2000 wasn't an anomaly. They'll do this shit if we let them!

Feistygrrl:(

9. if it's happening in Oregon and/or Nevada, you can bet . . .
that it's happening elsewhere as well . . . and this is but on of the many tactics that they're likely using to constrain Democratic registration and turnout . . . we need to be super vigilant in the coming weeks, because they're planning to steal this election . . .

10. Link
Your link doesn't go to any article ( for some) also the headline is not the same as the article.
Also there are several article in LBN about this. I'll move rather than lock.
