College Warns of Voter Registration Scam Targeting Black Students

Black students at Kennesaw State University may be the target of a plot to keep them from voting, according to a memo Dean Michael Sanseviro sent earlier this week. The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported that people walking around campus with clipboards offering to register students to vote may not be for real.

Dean Sanseviro cautioned students that “unauthorized individuals are walking around with clipboards claiming they are registering students to vote,” and that they are focusing on “particular student populations.” The dean also said this is not the first time they’ve faced this problem. “We have had students in the past not be able to vote on election day because they completed a form with an unauthorized person and were never properly registered,” he wrote.

A student told the Journal Constitution that the people behind the operation are targeting black students, trying to keep them from voting by saying they will register them and then not doing it. A spokeswoman for the school said that the suspected actors are not permitted on campus.

1. Solution: Set up an official voter registration site on campus...

then also warn that others doing registration drives may be bogus.

I'm sure there's a flaw in my idea, but it is just off the top of my head.

2. As the article points out, this is being done.

Two voter registration drives are going to happen, and the fake registration people are banned from campus.

3. Well, guess this illustrates two things:

1) My ideas are perfect
and
2) I am lazy and don't always read before posting.

I'm glad I've got #1 to hang my hat on.

4. Nate Sproul strikes again.

1 866 OUR VOTE and 1 866 MY VOTE 1 are good places to report election fraud irregularities, even pre-election. Everyone should check their voter reg status with their county elections site, both now and before they go to the polls.

Every voter has the right to a provisional ballot, if they know where they're supposed to vote and are denied a normal ballot. Every provisional ballot cast should be followed up by the voter. And if someone re-registered them to different parties and different polling places, they should work tirelessly to get felony charges filed against any individual or org that engaged in the criminal activity against them.
