PDATE:

The Voter Participation Center, the organization whose mailings are under scrutiny, fired back this afternoon at the Romney campaign.

In a letter to Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, it charged that what it called attempts by the Romney campaign to block voter registration efforts in Virginia “may rise to the level of interference with legitimate voter registration efforts contrary to applicable state and federal laws."

The organization asked Cuccinelli to refuse the Romney campaign's request to investigate what it called "completely lawful efforts by the VPC to register Virginians."

“The Romney campaign’s request for a probe into over 15 thousand returned legal and state-approved registration application forms is part of a blatant and ongoing partisan effort to keep people from voting, “ said VPC founder and president Page Gardner.

(This has been a breaking news update.)

Brian Gottstein, a spokesman for Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, says the State Board of Elections would have to initiate a request for an investigation.

"Our job right now is to advise our client, the SBE, as they work to ensure the law is complied with and that the voter registration process is not compromised," he said.

"With regard to an investigation, any type of investigation on the part of our office would have to be initiated by a request from SBE. The SBE has not made such a request."

Justin Riemer deputy secretary of the State Board of Elections, said the state board has not officially received the letter from the Romney campaign, but has obtained a copy. The three-member state board will determine whether to seek an investigation.

"We're looking at it and working with the attorney general's office to address the concerns they've raised," he said, referring to the Romney camp.

“may rise to the level of interference with legitimate voter registration efforts contrary to applicable state and federal laws."

I am sure the Justice Department will get right on that.

Isn’t this the group that was sending out pre-filled in voter registration forms that only needed a party designation & a signature to...........

DOGS & CATS in people’s households???

Did they hack into veterinarian’s offices & get the names which sounded like people?

One guy got such a form-——made out to Rosie ______________. Problem is that Rosie was the family Labrador retreiver & she died in 1998.

Something is very wrong with this kind of activity.
