Looks like a bit of vote suppression by some of Clintons well-wishers in North Carolina. An outfit called Womens Voices, Women Vote is calling black people in North Carolina with messages that appear designed to sow confusion about registration procedures and deadlines.
The organization claims its an innocent mistake, and perhaps it was, except that theyve apparently been caught up in similar controversies in 10 other states. Each time, the response is, oopsie!
The non-profits board members include Clinton supporters such as Joe Goode, a pollster for Bills 1992 campaign and John Podesta, former Clinton White House chief of staff. The organization claims to organized for the purpose of registering unmarried women to vote. At the very least, the organization seems to make a *lot* of mistakes for a well-funded outfit chock-full of experienced political operators.
Update I liked the following from Majikthise on the subject:
One might assume this was an innocent mistake, but the behind the calls turns out to have disseminated inaccurate voter information in multiple states. Page Gardner of Womens Voices Womens Votes says the whole thing was just a misguided attempt to register women voters. Somehow they ended up targeting a fair number of people who were neither women, nor unregistered, and telling them to do things that couldnt possibly help them register. WVWV also forgot to identify itself as the sponsor of these calls. Finally, they forgot to specify whether submitting ones application now would register someone for the primary or the general election, if indeed they werent registered already.
My name is Hillary Clinton and I approved all of it.

I know there’s sleazy stuff going on in connection with North Carolina today, not to mention Indiana.
If there’s a Clinton in it, you know something dirty is going on.
It should be interesting to see 115% totals coming out of Gary for Obama and 105% in other areas for hillarita
Clintons’ mafia and Obamas’ gangstas deserve each other.
