In a nutshell, the article, originally published by KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, NV, states that an organization called Voters' Outreach for America (a typically-named RNC-sponsored "grass roots" org) - a.k.a. America Votes - was collecting voter registration forms for new and relocating voters in malls and other similar public-frequented areas; they were then pulling out forms that were registered as Democrat and destroying them. Employees of the organization, who eye-witnessed the acts themselves by their superiors, stated these accounts. According to a load of ripped-up documents retrieved by employees, all of the forms were from registered Democrats.
The organization is mostly, if not entirely, funded by the RNC.
The best part is that the organization up and left town before they could get caught, and may or may not have gone to Oregon to do the same thing.
Egad! I just went to the America Votes to see whether they had a web footprint, and I saw this. Masquerading as a legitimate organization in order to collect and destroy voter registrations. Assuming this allegation proves true, then if no one goes to jail over this, I will have lost what little faith I had left in American democracy.
