More Bush campaign dirty tricks

Old news, I'm afraid, since I haven't had much time for blogging lately. But for the benefit of anyone who hasn't read it elsewhere:

"Former employees of a Republican-controlled company, Voters Outreach of America, AKA America Votes, which conducted voter registration drives in Nevada, have blown the whistle on its practice of selectively destroying the registration forms of people who attempted to register as Democrats.

"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...."

"The company has been largely, if not entirely funded, by the Republican National Committee."

The Republican-funded company reportedly skipped out on its Nevada landlord without paying the rent and flew (by night, presumably) to Oregon, where it busily committed further election fraud on behalf of its paymasters. Just another example of the "moral values" loudly touted by the current crop of Republicans.
