President Bush: Stop Destruction of Voter Registrations
Contributed by Working Assets
Evidence is rapidly emerging of an aggressive voter suppression effort funded by the Republican National Committee and carried out in a number of states. As first reported by a CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, voter registration operatives paid by the Republican National Committee (RNC) collected thousands of voter registration forms but shredded forms filled in by Democrats. These voters now mistakenly believe that they are registered to vote.
The operatives were employed by a Republican consulting firm Sproul & Associates, whose owner is Nathan Sproul, former head of the Arizona Republican Party and Arizona Christian Coalition. This firm has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the RNC, and is operating in numerous states. They register voters under the neutral sounding name of Voters Outreach of America.
The extent of the fraud is as yet unknown, and may not be fully known until Election Day.
Because of the illegal activity of this company, some voters who go to the polls on Election Day will be turned away at the door.
As a result of this criminal behavior, hundreds -- or even thousands -- of would-be voters will find out on Election Day that their registration form was never processed. Because of this company’s dirty tricks, these individuals will be denied their right to vote.
Call to action
Demand that President Bush renounce these dirty tricks and order his presidential campaign and the Republican National Committee to immediately sever all ties with Voters Outreach of America and Sproul & Associates, and to cooperate fully with all legal authorities to punish those responsible. Deadline: November 2, 2004
I smell smoke.
It ain't smoke I'm gettin' a whiff of.
Ozone?
Could happen, and on both sides. Here's what I think: Voters should have to register for themselves....period!
No more drives where someone takes the form and promises to deliver it to the registrar. Registration drives should simply deliver the form to the prospective voter and let them fill it out and get it to the registrar themselves.
I don't know of any place where you cannot just mail the registration forms.
Republican or Democrat, everyone has the right to register and vote. I just think they should do it themselves.
It was a single disgruntled employee looking for revenge. The Democrats are encouraging voter fraud in their Official DNC Literature
New CBS motto: Give us more, we can take it.

STATEMENT FROM RNC COMMUNCATIONS DIRECTOR JIM DYKE (ON VOTER FRAUD)
It's looking more and more like the false claims of a of a disgruntled former employee to me.
I am planning to reply to her e-mail with the photoshopped pic of Tom Daschle giving a "pep talk" to his constituents, all of whom are poertrayed as headstones.
I don't smell smoke, but I smell Soros.
"claim intimidation even where none exists? and I quote!!!
this...
Oh yes!!! and show photo id at the time of voting, no photo id, no vote. Even Utility co's ask for those! Banks too, to open a checking account.
Voters Outreach of America is also known as America Votes. Check out their website to see who they really represent:

We can't be surprized by anything these LIARS say but we know they are LYING. There is no party affiliation on voter registration forms in this state and I doubt if there is in Nevada.
After viewing the list on their website, it explains a LOT!!!
Um... Rock the Vote, Choose or Lose, etc...
