republicans are so cute

this just totally gives me the warm fuzzies:

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. The 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.

like susan has said in the past, this is the sort of crap she should be dealing with in, like, THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES NOT THE UNITED FRICKING STATES OF AMERICA.

it's okay, scott. i know you and most republicans don't endorse this kind of stuff. but it's so sad and terrible...i hope they prosecute the people responsible. but it's too late to get back these people's right to vote in this election.

Well the Democrats will make up for it with the 6000 felons they illegally registered in Colorado. Should be a net plus for Dems. And I know, not all of you Democrats approve of violating state election laws. :-)
