[+/-] Voter registrations trashed
Karl Rove is a bastard, but he is quite good at his job.
Employees of a Voters Outreach of America (AKA America Votes) allege that hundreds, perhaps thousands of voters who may think they are registered will be rudely surprised on election day. The company claims hundreds of registration forms were thrown in the trash.
The company has been largely, if not entirely funded, by the Republican National Committee. Similar complaints have been received in Reno where the registrar has asked the FBI to investigate.
Two former workers say they personally witnessed company supervisors rip up and trash registration forms signed by Democrats: "We caught her taking Democrats out of my pile, handed them to her assistant and he ripped them up right in front of us. I grabbed some of them out of the garbage and she tells her assisatnt to get those from me," said Eric Russell, former Voters Outreach employee.
Anyone who has recently registered or re-registered to vote outside a mall or grocery store or even government building in the Las Vegas area may be affected.

I just heard a report last night about the same kind of shenanigans in Florida. One hopes these creeps will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. It's understandable for a party to get out the vote, it's UNAMERICAN (and illegal) to intentionally disenfranchise voters.
