W.Va. SOS Calls Conservative Group's (Koch Bros) Voter Registration Mailing "Misleading"
Source: WCHS
The West Virginia secretary of state is calling an Americans for Prosperity mailing about voter registration "misleading" and "confusing."
The mailer says the recipient only has a few days to register to vote at his or her current address. It includes a voter registration card and prepaid envelope.
Democratic Secretary of State Natalie Tennant said people have to update their registration only if they move, change their name, or want to switch political parties. Tennant said legitimate contact will only come from county election clerks, not third-party groups.
If you have not moved, changed your name, or switched political parties, then you should throw this mailer into the trash because your voter registration is still valid, Tennant said in a news release. We were made aware of this situation because there was a large number of confused citizens calling our office and the offices of county clerks asking questions about why they had to update their voter registration information. The secretary of states office did not send this mailer, and it did not come from county clerks. We dont know what the purpose of the mailer is but we do know that it is confusing citizens.
