I know this has been reported
But I just posted on my blog and figured I'd post it here is well
________________________________________________________
In Nevada http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=2421595&nav=168XRvNe"> KLASTV Reportedthat former employees of the private voter registration company, Voters Outreach of America, (also known as America Votes) say they witnessed their 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.

The company¸ Voters Outreach of America has been funded mostly by the Republican National Committee and is affiliated with Sproul & Associates and has been operating in Arizona and other states
Sproul & Associates is a political consulting firm, in Phoenix Arizona headed up by former Arizona state Republican Party executive director Nathan Sproul.

Apparently in September, Sproul tried to pass his organization off as the non-partisan organization http://www.americavotes.org/">“America Votes,” to a Medford librarian in order to set up a voter registration booth. However, voter registrations booths can not be set up inside a library unless they are by a bi-partisan organization. The librarian checked into the request and figured out his scam. As a result of her inquiry, the actual America Votes organization pursued legal options to get Sproul to stop using its name.

Nathan Sproul is also the regional president of the Texas based, http://www.voyagerlearning.com/about/index.jsp">Voyager Company. Voyage is a “learning” company that peddles a product to help children cram for the “No Child Left Behind” standardization tests. According to the http://www.pubadvocate.nyc.gov/press/050603.shtml">Public Advocate in New York City, “Voyager reading products provide little results" The Voyager company started up about the same time Bush took office in Texas, and passed his education policies.
