President Bush: Stop Destruction of Voter Registrations
Contributed by Working Assets
"Evidence is rapidly emerging of an aggressive voter suppression effort funded by the Republican National Committee and carried out in a number of states. As first reported by a CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, voter registration operatives paid by the Republican National Committee (RNC) collected thousands of voter registration forms but shredded forms filled in by Democrats. These voters now mistakenly believe that they are registered to vote.
The operatives were employed by a Republican consulting firm Sproul & Associates, whose owner is Nathan Sproul, former head of the Arizona Republican Party and Arizona Christian Coalition. This firm has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the RNC, and is operating in numerous states. They register voters under the neutral sounding name of Voters Outreach of America.
The extent of the fraud is as yet unknown, and may not be fully known until Election Day.
Because of the illegal activity of this company, some voters who go to the polls on Election Day will be turned away at the door. As a result of this criminal behavior, hundreds -- or even thousands -- of would-be voters will find out on Election Day that their registration form was never processed. Because of this company’s dirty tricks, these individuals will be denied their right to vote."
