Democratic voter registrations trashed in Nevada
'Widespread pattern of potential registration fraud aimed at democrats.'

Employees of a private voter registration company say that hundreds, 'perhaps thousands' of Democratic voters who think they are registered will be shit out of luck on election day. Supposedly hundreds of registration forms were thrown in the trash by Voters Outreach of America, who "only wanted Republican registrations."

Two former workers say they personally witnessed company supervisors rip up and trash registration forms signed by Democrats.

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.
And in Oregon:
"There have been allegations made that someone threw out some voter registration forms that had been submitted to them," Secretary of State Bill Bradbury told The Associated Press late Tuesday. "This is a violation of the law and I will meet with the attorney general in the morning to talk about what we can do to pursue this, and to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Bradbury learned of the conduct from KGW-TV, which interviewed Mike Johnson, 20, a canvasser who said he was instructed to only accept Republican registration forms. He told the TV reporter that he "might" destroy forms turned in by Democrats.
