P.S: Wellstone is a target of the Greens?
Donate to your local green party whacko today!
Help finance illegal, perhaps even treasonous, voter fraud AND write it off your taxes!
This will induce involutary orgasms in liberals.

Minnesota is one of the few states that allow same day voter registration. We will therefore focus our energy on registering young Minnesotans.
I hold no brief for Socialists, but what they're saying is that they need people from across the country to head up to Minnesota to register voters, not to register as voters.
That's what it SAYS. But once the Socialists get there, they'll be able to exploit a loophole in order to vote themselves.
Can I register on election day?The last option is their way in.If you miss pre-registering, you can still register on election day at your polling place. You will need proof of your identity and the address where you are living on election day. Use one of these for proof...
- A current Minnesota Driver License, learner permit or identification card (or receipt for a new one) with your address
- One of the above with a former address and a utility bill*
- A U.S. passport or military ID card and a utility bill*
- a "Notice of Ineffective Registration" card mailed to you by your county auditor (if you turned in a registration card late)
- someone who is registered in the precinct where you live to vouch for you at the polling place
Now, when it turns out that no such thing is no their website, it suddenly doesn't matter what their website says, they must be planning on committing fraud anyway?
Sorry, but that's just wrong.
I would, but there are a couple of these green wackos that won the Democratic nomination and have a decent chance at getting a spot on our already commie city planning board.
I do have a pop-up blocker. I'll turn it off and go back there (if I can get through; Drduge's link seems to have really slowed the DSA server).
Maybe they removed it, but I still have to say that I have seen no evidence of intent to commit fraud.

I'm the one who found this and brought this to the attention of the posters on FR, where it was apparently picked up by Newsmax then Fox News and now Drudge. It's for real, all right.
It was originally an automatic POP-UP that came up when one logged onto the actual DSA/USA Home page. This is what happened when I was digging around that site to find/confirm the names of the current US House "Progressive Caucus".

Also here are other related threads where this topic is discussed on Newsmax and in the local Minneapolis/St. Paul media. Do you really think they would have gone to press on this one unless they couldn't have confirmed the original source themselves?!

Is anyone aware of any statements on his part?

Sarah Mullins, a volunteer with the Wellstone for Senate campaign since February, took second place in the brownie category at the Minnesota State Fair. Every Wednesday, Sarah treats the staff at campaign headquarters to a batch of her award winning brownies, based on a secret recipewhich she refuses to divulge….and trust us we’ve tried.
OK. I accept the accuracy of your quote.
The only difference I see is that they say "young people" instead of "young Minnesotans" (presumably they made it more explicit in response to the public outcry). Still, you must make a logical leap to the conclusion that they intend to register non-Minnesotans. Nothing in the text justifies that conclusion. The fact that originally, they didn't explicitly say "We're not committing fraud!" is not evidence of fraud.
Anyway, is conspiracy to commit voter fraud the sort of thing they'd publicly announce?
See this other post on the thread I mentioned above:

I live in the socialist republic of Minnesota and I can tell you that hasn't been the case for many years. A-N-Y-B-O-D-Y can walk up to an election judge, tell them they are so-and-so, the judge checks the computer list of registered voters and hands you a ballot card. NO ID, NO CROSS CHECK OF CRENDENTIALS OF ANY KIND. Any rat that keeps track of the old folks that die in the neighborhood they live in will compile a list of likely registered voters that won't be showing up to vote that fall. That's the way it is in metropolitan Minnesota today.

That's what happened, but the proof was perserved here at FR. See my post above.

Not only that but the Democratic Socialists of America have plans to ship in people to register the ..... dead!
Here's the text from the pop-up that happens when one logs onto their site (I'll save you the trouble and spare them the "hit"! ;-):

They altered the text and are using young Minnesotans in an effort to appear legal.
Unfortunatly, that still does not get them off the hook, since the original intent was to import people from other States and turn them into instant Minnesota citizens for the purpose of voting.
I've read the DSA page several times. My point is that what that page is talking about is bringing people to Minnesota to conduct a late voter registration drive. Nothing on the page justifies the conclusion that the people being broght to Minnesota are going to vote themselves. I know everyone's het up over this, but it just isn't there.
And if they did intend to bring people to Minnesota to vote illegally, I don't think they'd publish a web page about it, much less suggest that donations are tax-deductible. Even Socialists aren't that stupid.

Most people don't realize how easy it is to commit voter fraud in Minnesota. Not only is same-day registration possible, the only identification you need is for another registered voter to "vouch" that you are a legal voter at the polling place.
A Democrat organization like the one above could shuttle the same voters around, allowing them to vote several times at several different polling places. All they'd need is a single previously registered voter at each polling station to do the "vouching."
There have been rumors in the past that welfare advocacy groups have pulled this very trick in Saint Paul in previous elections.
