Romney camp asks Va. to probe voter forms
Richmond Times-Dispatch ^ | July 25, 2012 | Wesley P. Hester

Posted on 07/25/2012 7:21:39 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign is asking Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to launch an investigation into voter-registration forms that are being sent to Virginia residents and addressed to deceased relatives, children, family pets and others ineligible to vote.

The errant mailings from the Washington-based nonprofit group Voter Participation Center have befuddled many Virginia residents, leading to hundreds of complaints.

The organization has been mass-mailing the forms — pre-populated with key information such as names and addresses — to primarily Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as young adults, unmarried women, African-Americans and Latinos.

In a letter to Cuccinelli's office and the State Board of Elections, Kathryn Bieber, an attorney for the Romney campaign, calls for an investigation into the matter by law-enforcement officials, claiming that the mailings appear to violate "at least one and maybe several Virginia laws aimed at ensuring a fair election."

Bieber refers to the mailings as "tactics that amount to, or at the very least induce, voter registration fraud," and says the issue "presents a very significant risk to the proper administration of the upcoming general election."

Citing a Sunday Richmond Times-Dispatch story that brought the mailings to light, the letter also asks the State Board of Elections to require registrars to reject all pre-populated voter registration applications from the group and review the eligibility of all Virginians who have registered in the past two months.

Expect this in every swing state.

Romney knows cheating when he sees it, since he’s a master at it.

He could always ask to have the rules changed in his favor.

That would be the proper actions to take. What are the chances of that happening? Are the members of the State Board of Elections primarily Pubbies or Dems? Anybody know?????

Give us some documented examples of Romney cheating Linda Frances. Or, are you just talking out your a** this morning? Back up what you say or lose what little credibility you have left on this website.

Chairman, Vice-Chair, and secretary are all Republicans, appointed by Gov. McDonnell. Look here.

Consider these

(1) DoJ Holder challenged Voter ID law in (only) Republican gov held states

(2) Daley told Obama camp to prepare legions of lawyers (esp in swing states) for recount

(3) Threats from the likes of WaPo Opinion writer Harold Meyerson Massive Demonstrations (euphemism for outright anarchy)

All three combined tell us -

If Dems can't steal the election, there will be WAR.

p/s: I'll find the links to (1) and (2) later, if asked.

That’s the reason DemocRats oppose voter ID laws. That would be unfair to the poor, the dead, and the non-human. It would eliminate half the DemocRat party.

I am still waiting for her to back up her charge against Mitt Romney with some facts. Won’t hold my breath waiting though.

There, fixed it.

'Gosh, I guess it was just a mistake... heee yuck, yuck, yuck, wink, wink.'

I guess the MSM thinks we are stupid to wonder about this, and should just forget about our befuddlement.

This was a “feel good” tactic for us “true conservatives”. I never got one. I assume in the eyes of these idiots I’m clearly beyond saving! South of Richmond and loving it.

People have been begging Pat Mullins to force an investigation of voter fraud in Virginia after the Periello debacle. Pat is a spineless eunuch RINO and hasn’t done jack about it.

Thank God somebody is finally starting to deal with voter fraud in Virginia. I have no illusions that anything will actually happen but at least it’s on the radar screen and not completely shoved under the table by the RINOs.
