Romney camp asks Va. to probe voter forms | Richmond Times-Dispatch

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."

When you have a left-leaning organization involved in these activities, they should be making an extra effort to demonstrate they are above-board. What were their attorneys doing during the process of reviewing the pertinent state laws and mailing lists? If their program is legal and working, as they claim, then how come they were pre-populating forms and from a ****ed up mailing list?
 
God Bless Mitt.. Go MItt Go!!!
 
Personally...I consider this akin to the whole "Obama birth certificate" thing.

It's a non-issue, and probably nothing...



....but if it is..........
