wispfoxI don't have anyone on my friends list from Nevada, but I do have a few people from Oregon. Therefore, I pass along the information posted by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
geekchick about the fact that a fair number of Democrat voter registrations were ripped up and thrown away by a voter registration company in Las Vegas called "Voters Outreach of America", or "America Votes". According to the article, the company has now moved on to Oregon where it is once again registering voters.
Yeah. Lovely. On one hand, there's Democratic registrations being ripped up, by a company which has been largely, if not entirely, funded by the Republican National Committee.
On another, there's duplicate and non-existant registrations (link posted in a comment byjacflash, in response to the Ohio paper stock insanity, which has since stopped), with investigation centering on absentee registration attempts by the nonpartisan NAACP's National Voter Fund and an anti-Bush, nonprofit group called Americans Coming Together, or ACT Ohio.
Gotta love having both major parties doing their best to screw with the upcoming election. Much as I understand the idea of doing something in self-defense, because the other side is known to be doing it, ick. Ick, ick, ick.
