ooooh, now im mad!
how come you never hear things like this about democrats? interestingly enough, this same firm has worked gathering signatures to get nader on the arizona ballot. which (tangent) im all for, nader has every right to be on the ballot, but it certainly is a case of strange bedfellows. which is kinda the theme for the nader campaign this year, but thats another post. anyways, man is this just wrong...

Thee 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.
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. "
