Voter Registrations Dumped in the Trash
Oregon officials have opened an investigation into
alleged improper voter registration practices, Secretary of State Bill
Bradbury said Wednesday. The investigation follows a television report
in which a paid-per-registration canvasser said he had been instructed
only to accept registrations from Republicans, and that he "might"
destroy those from Democrats. It was not immediately clear what group
employed the canvasser. Bradbury said the investigation would be based
not only on the KGW-TV report, but also on other complaints that have
not yet been made public. In Roseburg, Douglas County Clerk Barbara
Nielsen said she had received a complaint from voters who said
canvassers working for a Chandler, Ariz.-based consulting firm, Sproul
& Associates, tried to push them into registering as Republicans,
saying otherwise the canvassers wouldn't get paid for their efforts.
Additionally, Nielsen said she had gotten calls from voters who said
canvassers from the same group had implied that their cards wouldn't be
turned in if they registered as Democrats. Sproul & Associates is
run by Nathan Sproul, a former head of the Republican Party in Arizona
who has subcontracted with the Republican National Committee to do
voter outreach. [more]
