A private voter registration company (largely funded by the Republican National Committee, the GOP is even hiring for them) has been accused of trashing voter registration forms because they are listed as Democrat.

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 landlord says Voters Outreach was evicted for non-payment of rent. Another source said the company has now moved on to Oregon where it is once again registering voters. It's unknown how many registrations may have been tossed out, but another ex-employee told Eyewitness News she had the same suspicions when she worked there.

Here's an article about the same company shredding Democratic voter forms in Oreagon.

Here's some accounts of certain voter registration sites inquiring about your planned vote and won't give you a registration form if you say Kerry.


It's looks like Florida's election is fucked too.. (Registration required... or you can just go to BugMeNot.com and they will give you a username/password to use).

"In Duval County, 31,155 black voters had been added to the rolls by the end of last week. That is more than the total number of ballots nullified here four years ago, in a race that George W. Bush won by 537 votes.

But hundreds more could show up at the polls only to find they cannot vote. The office has flagged 1,448 registrations as incomplete, and as of last week had yet to process 11,500 more.

A Washington Post analysis found nearly three times the number of flagged Democratic registrations as Republican. Broken down by race, no group had more flagged registrations than blacks.

This, in a heavily GOP county where records show that the number of blacks added to the rolls since 2000 approximately equals the number of non-Hispanic whites."

I haven't ever voted for President before, this is going to be my first one... and I'm just sick at how broken the whole system is.
