Voter Regisdtration Fraud - AGAINST THE DEMS
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 11:32 PM by nostalgicaboutmyfutr
Read the following from www.dailykos.com: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/10/12/213358/59

Employees of a private voter registration company allege that hundreds, perhaps thousands of voters who may think they are registered will be rudely surprised on election day. The company claims hundreds of registration forms were thrown in the trash.
Anyone who has recently registered or re-registered to vote outside a mall or grocery store or even government building may be affected.

The I-Team has obtained information about an alleged widespread pattern of potential registration fraud aimed at democrats. Thee focus of the story is a private registration company called Voters Outreach of America, AKA America Votes.

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 assisatnt 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.

1. But what if these geniuses were ripping up the registration forms of
Democrats who support Bush (they do exist much to my dismay)? I hope that is the case, cause then it'll be a double loss for them !

2. that is not the case...
they would walk up to someone and ask:

"If the election was held tomorrow, who would you vote for?"

if they said Kerry, thank you good bye!

If it was bush they would sit with them and re/register them...if they picked up any Dems they would trash the cards...watch the video

they are a paid group to get VR done and collected signatures for nader there....

5. The FBI have been involved...
the VR company has vacated its offices because they were kicked out for not paying the bills


This needs the media blaster and full pressure...if these are paid VR people then there are others to corroborate and there are people who paid the bills....likely with RNC or republican donors names....this must be pursued in front of some of the other crap that folks are posting on how well Edwards looked on The Tonight Show....

8. Let's Hope????!!!!!
Do you think the repukes would say let's hope? something will happen about this???

Roland, i don't want to slam but often that is the attitude about these things that come up...we need to slam the pukes who are running this and if so tie it to the pukes under rove making this happen...

Rove knows they are behind...

We all know that rove will do anything....

We need to actively defend our democracy...I ask each of you reading this to at least send an email to your local stations/newspapers and make them aware of what is happening, and question if it could be happening in your community....

my apollogies if i offended...

9. I'm thinking of the people who've been wronged here
Do they not get to vote? Shouldn't Nevada allow a bend in the rules in this case?

The FBI is already on to this. I'm thinking to a form of remedy.

10. if it's happening in Nevada, you can bet next month's paycheck . . .
that it's happening elsewhere . . . and this is likely just one example of multiple tactics being employed to keep Democratic registration and turnout down . . . as I've opined many, many times, these people will do ANYTHING to win this election . . . including stealing it outright . . .
