Adam Smith argues (Theory of moral sentiments) that honorable people would not value victory without knowing that they had deserved that victory.

IF the allegations in the attached story are true, then these voter registration firms are stealing honor from myself and the Republican Party.

If the race really is as distant as it seems, then the theft is double repugnant.

CBS is not credible. This story is crap.

[Madame Dufarge]

Link bad.

[Mach9]

Downright amazing that this story should materialize in the midst of dozens of stories of voter-fraud allegations where no party has been implicated--headline or otherwise.

First thing I'd like to know about is the source (the news medium), then about the allegers. This just doesn't sound "Republican."

[Mach9]

"Two former workers say they personally witnessed company supervisors rip up and trash registration forms signed by Democrats."

Operative word here may be "former."

[Madame Dufarge]

A Google search reveals nothing regarding Voters Outreach of America.

Please use the original headline when posting articles. It helps in preventing duplicate posts...

Thanks.

Eric Russell managed to retrieve a pile of shredded paperwork including signed voter registration forms, all from Democrats. We took them to the Clark County Election Department and confirmed that they had not, in fact, been filed with the county as required by law

They took shredded papers to find out they were filed????

[Madame Dufarge]

Say, is this the same George Knapp, "investigative reporter?"

FR has been flooded with reports of liberal/radical "get
out the vote" frauds over the last week. This is the first
I've seen attributed to an alleged GOP-linked group.

But the fact is that anyone who registered via a 3rd party,
on paper, via web, phone or email, needs to assume that
they are in fact NOT registered, if only due to someone's
carelessness. But wait, with some of the radical groups,
it gets worse - they may misuse your personal info.

_____________________________


Subject: Will you be turned away on November 2nd?

This email is unfortunately not a hoax or urban legend.
Share it with any people whose votes you care about.
This is particularly important in "battleground" states.

1. Register in person

Unless you registered to vote in person at an official
location, you may not be registered, or you may have a
defective registration. You need to verify your voter
registration status in person with your local elections
office.

2. Verify it

There is some chance that even if you were properly
registered, and even voted in the primaries, someone
has since tampered with (filed a change on) your
registration, either to enable someone else to vote
as you, or just to deny your vote. Verify your
registration. Do this as late as possible (still
with time to fix it)

3. Look for abuse

If you gave personal information to a door-to-door,
telephone or web "get-out-the-vote" operation, there
may be fictional voters signed up as members of your
family or as unrelated people living at your address.
When you verify, ask who else is registered at your
address, or with your same name.

4. Vote as early as possible

If your locale allows it, you need to consider voting
absentee, and as early as possible, to forestall the
ability of someone else to impersonate you and steal
your vote. Register directly with the issuing office,
and not through a third party.

In Kansas, you can register up to 15 days before the
election, but vote as early as 20 days before. So
register NOW, and then you can complete steps 2/3/4
on October 13.

Although the legacy media is not eager to report it, the
2004 election promises to include significant levels of
vote fraud. Ineligible voters, multiple voters, voter
impersonation (vote theft) and registration interference
have all been reported.

3rd-party registration drives cannot be trusted with
something as important as your vote.

Innocent error is possible with any group, but the more
radical organizations are actually invalidating or simply
not filing the registrations of voters not sympathetic
to their candidate. They are also creating additional
fictional registrations based on real addresses, names
and other personal info.

You need to take steps to ensure that your vote counts,
and that information about you is not being used to
enable fraudulent votes.

[McGavin999]

Horsepucky, America Votes is all libs.

[Feiny]

Good, I hope the FBI does investigate. They will find Democrats at the bottom of it....as usual.

Of course, the PAJAMAHADEEN will have to do all the legwork for the "reporters".

Not only if voter fraud happening all across the country by Dems, but now that they are caught....they are trying to pin it on Pubs. PULEEZE!

[lowbridge]

The DUmmies are buying this, but then what else is new?

My sister works for KLAS and babysits for George Knapp. She told me Dan Rather can say whatever he wants to get Bush out of office. She's going to be dissappointed on November 3rd.

[sweetliberty]

Well, I suppose it's possible that 1 out of how many hundreds of stories about voter fraud had to be Republicans. Of course, it will probably get more exposure than all the RAT fraud put together.
