Ms. Spencer estimated that since May, 800 of the roughly 4,000 adult clubs in America have launched voter registration efforts, registering an average of 200 voters per club. Few adult clubs have engaged in voter drives in previous elections.
The registration efforts have taken many forms. Jim Halbach, owner of seven clubs in Wisconsin and Illinois, personally approaches customers as they come through his clubs' doors and asks them to sign voter registration documents.
Mr. Halbach also has special voter drive nights, at which he waives normal door charges. "These nights, the dancers come down off the stage and tell the customers about why it's important for them to register to vote," said Mr. Halbach, who claims to have registered 4,700 people.
At Ms. Spencer's clubs, the D.J. takes breaks from narrating stripteases twice an hour to announce that voter registration is necessary and to tell customers how they can register. Other clubs have sent their dancers out into local communities on door-to-door registration drives.

Heh. I was just going to post that. Given that the average patron of theirs is overwhelmingly white males, there is a very good chance that they are doing Bush a favor (shhhh.. don't tell them though).
waitin' for pics...................
LOL. I guess I should have expected comedic posts. There is a serious point, though: the Dems are willing to associate themselves with the dregs of society to turn out the vote. They do it every four years. The registration forms will undoubtedly contain a high percentage of frauds as will the other get out the vote drives in the urban centers of the U.S.
As to people's claims that republicans are registering in high numbers at these establishments, one should recall that urban males vote Democrat and GOP forms could get mysteriously lost on the way to the stte elections office.
