Liberal Voter Participation Center Sends Election Registration Docs to Cats, Dead People
**A Post from Gina**
This group targets Democrat blocs such as unmarried women, African-Americans, Latinos and young adults. As one woman noted, who received a voter registration for her dog, “On a serious note, I think it’s tampering with our voting system. They’re fishing for votes: That’s how I view it.” That’s how we all view it. No wonder Holder is desperate to stop voter roll cleanups like the one in Florida and photo ID requirements.

The voter registration form arrived in the mail last month with some key information already filled in: Rosie Charlston’s name was complete, as was her Seattle address.
Problem is, Rosie was a black lab who died in 1998.
A group called the Voter Participation Center has touted the distribution of some 5 million registration forms in recent weeks, targeting Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as unmarried women, African-Americans, Latinos and young adults.
But residents and election administrators around the country also have reported a series of bizarre and questionable mailings addressed to animals, dead people, noncitizens and people already registered to vote.
Brenda Charlston wasn’t the only person to get documents for her pet: A Virginia man said similar documents arrived for his dead dog, Mozart, while a woman in the state got forms for her cat, Scampers.
Several election officials said they believed the voter registration systems were secure enough to catch people who might improperly submit the misdirected documents.
But administrators in New Mexico, a potential swing state in the 2012 presidential race, warned that ineligible voters who complete the documents could make it onto the rolls.

Hopefully, they got the forms mixed up and Democrats dutifully got neutered and spayed.

Cats can’t get motor-voter forms; they don’t have thumbs to drive with.

‘Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as unmarried women, African-Americans and young adults.’ As a Latino, I’m embarrassed to be mentioned with this group.
