TALLAHASSEE — Law enforcement officials are investigating voter registration irregularities in at least three counties in Florida, and election supervisors fear that the problem is so widespread it could lead to massive confusion on Election Day. Third-party groups, including tax-exempt organizations known as 527s that engage in political activity, have been conducting voter mobilization drives in an attempt to persuade new or apathetic voters to turn out in support of their causes — mostly Democratic — on Nov. 2.

A myth with no basis in fact. Nice rhetoric though.

Indeed.

I see that Dan has started his own thread instead of commenting here. Shows his burning desire to grab headlines. Desperation city! :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Of course theres no proof you'd accept, it's not what you want to hear.

There's no proof anyone (beyond extremely partisan Demoncrats) would accept.

[MannyIsGod]

Alright, then I succumb to your theory that the democrats are evil and the right is not.

Hurrah!

So, how are the electric shock treatments going, anyway...Mr. Burnout?

[MannyIsGod]

Actually, I've done a good job avoiding most stuff political lately, but I got sucked back into here. Once an addict always an addict I guess. However, being reminded of how few brain cells you use Yoni, it shoudln't be that hard to step away from the keyboard.

UPDATED: The Convoluted Story On Voter Registration Fraud
Group Caught In Nevada Might Have Been Working Downtown Portland

By The One True b!X
(October 12, 2004 at 11:22 PM) --
Note: This post has been updated. Any and all updates appear at the end of the original post.

It's already started to reverberate into the local Portland blogosphere. According to this story out of Las Vegas, an organization conducting voter registration around the country has apparently been caught in Nevada only processing registration forms for people registering as Republicans.

Why is this story echoing all the way into our backyard? Because of this bit from the above-linked article: "Another source said the company has now moved on to Oregon where it is once again registering voters."

Before we get to the latest local angle on this story, we need to get to the confusing part. According to the story out of Nevada, the group in question is something called Voters Outreach of America -- but the article claims that this group is also known as America Votes.

Problem is, there's another America Votes, and we're told by a source who works with that group that they are not the America Votes referred to by the article out of Las Vegas.

Initially, we assumed this opened up the possibility that the Las Vegas story might have been mistaken that the group engaging in illegal voter registration activities in Nevada was at work here in Oregon -- thinking that perhaps the reporter simply saw that there was an America Votes here in Oregon and that it must be the same people.

However, a report just aired on KGW's late-night newscast makes us rethink that take on it, and that the mysterious Voters Outreach of America might indeed have been active here.

According to KGW's report, they managed to corner a man conducting voter registration in Pioneer Courthouse Square today who was only accepting Republican registrations. In fact, the report said, he sometimes simply tosses Democratic registration cards in the trash. Why? Because he's getting paid $5 for every Republican registration, but nothing for Democratic registrations.

At the end of the KGW report, they stated that the man said he was from what he called the "traveling team" (no idea if that should be capitalized). They then referenced the story out of Las Vegas. Why? Because, they say, the man they cornered told them that his group had just recently been in Las Vegas.

Who is "KGW" and why, if they had the man "cornered" didn't they air an interview -- or no comments -- from him instead of just reporting on what transpired when they "cornered" him?

It sounds like bullshit to me.

If you don't like it, it's always BS to you Yonivore.

i'm just glad we have people watching this shit closely....from both sides.

[JoeChalupa]

Personally, I think it is pretty sad that this needs to be done period.

Yeah, considering you posted no link to a story from an unknown media outlet, "KBW" written by someone calling themselves, The One True b!X...yeah, I'm going to call bullshit on this one.

Yep, it's a sad statement on the Demoncratic Party.

"(Oct. 12) -- Employees of a private voter registration company 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.

Anyone who has recently registered or re-registered to vote outside a mall or grocery store or even government building may be affected.

The I-Team has obtained information about an alleged widespread pattern of potential registration fraud aimed at democrats. Thee focus of the story is a private registration company called Voters Outreach of America, AKA America Votes.

The out-of-state firm has been in Las Vegas for the past few months, registering voters. It employed up to 300 part-time workers and collected hundreds of registrations per day, but former employees of the company say that Voters Outreach of America only wanted Republican registrations.

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.

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.

So the people on those forms who think they will be able to vote on Election Day are sadly mistaken. We attempted to speak to Voters Outreach but found that its office has been rented out to someone else.

The landlord says Voters Outreach was evicted for non-payment of rent. Another source said the company has now moved on to Oregon where it is once again registering voters. It's unknown how many registrations may have been tossed out, but another ex-employee told Eyewitness News she had the same suspicions when she worked there.

It's going to take a while to sort all of this out, but the immediate concern for voters is to make sure you really are registered."

It a sad statement on the Democrats that they are calling the Republicans on obvious voter fraud?

So which "America Votes" might this be?

There aren't any Republicans in Minnesota.

KGW is Portland's NBC affiliate.

Which makes Bush's 46% share of the vote in Minnesota in 2000 all the more impressive.

[LandShark]

...as well as the fact that Republicans swept the state elections in Minnesota in 2002.

[Hook Dem]

Looks like they're gaining ground to me.
