Romney camp asks Va. to probe voter forms
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign is asking Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to launch an investigation into voter-registration forms that are being sent to Virginia residents and addressed to deceased relatives, children, family pets and others ineligible to vote.
The errant mailings from the Washington-based nonprofit group Voter Participation Center have befuddled many Virginia residents, leading to hundreds of complaints.
The organization has been mass-mailing the forms — pre-populated with key information such as names and addresses — to primarily Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as young adults, unmarried women, African-Americans and Latinos.
In a letter to Cuccinelli's office and the State Board of Elections, Kathryn Bieber, an attorney for the Romney campaign, calls for an investigation into the matter by law-enforcement officials, claiming that the mailings appear to violate "at least one and maybe several Virginia laws aimed at ensuring a fair election."
Bieber refers to the mailings as "tactics that amount to, or at the very least induce, voter registration fraud," and says the issue "presents a very significant risk to the proper administration of the upcoming general election."

Why are these going to primarily Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as young adults, unmarried women, African-Americans and Latinos?
I guess in the past, no one bothered to check whether a potential voter was still alive or even a real person. Illegals need to have a name to match the registration when they show up, so this is the easiest way. I hate to think there is an organized effort to get information to groups of illegal voters so they know which name to use when they show up at the polls.
I am glad that more and more of this is coming to light. I wonder how many dead people voted last time. Perhaps it was comparable to the number of dead people who received stimulus money.
ACORN cannot be trusted considering the number of illegal registrations the workers turned in. It was widespread, not a random few, so one can certainly conclude that the leaders of the community agitator group suggested they do this. Shame they got caught.
Now they say there is no fraud and no need to address the problem. I beg to differ, and so do all those fake registrations and dead voters.
