Registered to Vote? Are You Sure?

Via alert reader Elbert...

If you registered to vote via somebody standing on the street or outside a supermarket or by any other means that didn't involve direct contact with a government official, you may want to double check with your local election authority, especially if you're a Democrat.

This time, it seems, the Republicans are stealing our votes before they've even been cast.

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.

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.

The television station managed to retrieve some of the shredded forms via an ex-employee and verified that those people had never been registered with the county.

Naturally, this is all highly illegal.

Also naturally, the company has closed their offices in Nevada and is apparently operating in Oregon, presumably under a different name.
