Democratic-leaning Voter Participation Center Mailed Dogs, Dead People Voter Registration Forms

Yankee Traveler 2012/07/13 09:27:04

The voter registration form arrived in the mail last month with some
key information already filled in: Rosie Charlston's name was complete,
as was her Seattle address.

Problem is, Rosie was a black lab who died in 1998.

A
group called the Voter Participation Center has touted the distribution
of some 5 million registration forms in recent weeks, targeting
Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as unmarried women, blacks, Latinos
and young adults.

But residents and election administrators
around the country also have reported a series of bizarre and
questionable mailings addressed to animals, dead people, non-citizens and
people already registered to vote.

Brenda Charlston wasn't the
only person to get documents for her pet: A Virginia man said similar
documents arrived for his dead dog, Mozart, while a woman in the state
got forms for her cat, Scampers.

"On a serious note, I think it's
tampering with our voting system," Charlston said. "They're fishing for
votes: That's how I view it."

Every presidential election cycle
brings with it a variety of registration drives targeting people who
typically are underrepresented at the polls, and Republicans have long
seized on sloppy or questionable registrations as a sign of potential
fraud on the part of Democrats.

The mailings appear
official, arriving in privacy envelopes with the headline "VOTER
REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED." Some information is already completed
on the voter registration papers, and recipients also get an envelope to
send completed forms to local elections officials.

The
Voter Participation Center works with a vendor that has access to
multiple commercial databases that could include people who subscribe to
magazines or junk mail using names of their pet, said Page Gardner, the
group's president. She said the nonprofit tries its best to target only
eligible and unregistered voters but that some other names inevitably
get on the final list.

The Voter
Participation Center says it is trying to increase participation among
minorities, unmarried women and people under the age of 30, with Gardner
saying that those groups have historically been underrepresented in the
election process.

The group says it has helped register 1 million people since 2004 and some 300,000 people in the current election cycle.

Voter fraud in the making!

    Will Holder call it racism if Rosie can't vote? She was a black lab.

    My dead dog gets e-mails from the Obama campaign every day asking for money. He hasn't been sent a voters registration form yet and no one has shown up at the door, but he did get a very nice picture of the president and a bumper sticker!

    If Ms. Charlston was a good democrat she'd know it's her responsibility to cast that vote for the dead dog as he would have wanted that vote to go to democrats.

    Well how else could obama get votes if he didn't get them from dead people, dogs and ignorant low class citizens whose vocabulary is based on the word 'gimme'.

    It does not surprise me. all we need to do is require picture ID when people are voting and check all mail-ins.

    FRaud indeed. Worth noting, dog license are not considered adequate for voting purposes although it's definitely more worthy than forged identifiction or even college ID's which can be easily obtained and altered.

    Personaly, IMO, the Left has done so many Voter Regestration I imagine there could not be any unregistered person in the Continental 48.

    No wonder they're trolling Vet records and Morgues.

    Will they be sending them the mail in vote package as well? Why isn't there any accountability or punishment for this kind of activity? Aren't they willing tools in voter fraud by even doing this?

    It's all about the blame game:

    The Voter Participation Center works with a vendor that has access to

    That sounds like one of the used car lots around here!


    You know if the Republicans didn't want voter ID..the liberals would be all over it! And what you listed up there...is exactly why the liberals want no part of voter ID.... their poll percentages would go way down!

    Scytl will be counting electronic votes in some 19 states. No possiblity of audits or re-counts. People in those states need to get on it quick and demand paper ballots. If the election will be fixed it will be through them, either directly or by a hacker. No recount possible.

    As far as voter ID, Mexico has a much stricter policy than we do. It would be a good start here.

    Totally agree! But it's not going to happen this time! Not when there is a socialist in the WH ready and willing to bring this country down!

    BTW, Mexico has incredibly strict immigration laws!

    With Scytl counting the votes it might not matter if anybody shows up to vote. It is much more serious than fraudulent voter registration. Need everybody to get out and demand paper ballots.
