GOP Election funny business starting already? : Please Read

[CrackpotAmerica]

Hi, everyone,

I'm just popping in here for a moment because I got a strange message from Mehlman's GOP.

They tell me that I "may not be properly registered to vote at this address," and want me to 'fill out a form' and send it directly back to the GOP.

I am certain that they don't know who they are dealing with here. I am FULLY registered to vote. Now I am suspicious that they are going to try to knock me off of the rolls come November to help Mr. Santorum out.

Has anyone else gotten this message?

Also, is there any way that I can call someone to see if this kind of call is legal for the GOP, a non election official organization, to place to people? I would like to nip this in the bud now so that others less informed are not robbed of their vote.

If you have any info that might help, please let me know.

Thx! I miss you guys!!

I uploaded it to my website and you can listen to it here:

1. Yes, call you're local Supervisor of Elections

and if that doesn't help, call your State Office of Elections. Also a call to your local DEM Party Office might be a good idea too.

2. Did you listen to it?

I thought I might just be paranoid..

What do you think?

Also thx for the advice!

18. They are slick

This recks of scam.

This is one of the ways they collect absent ballots. They get your current info and then they request a ballot for you. Most of the time they get away with it and the 'voter' never knows what happened.

3. I wonder if this form would switch your registration to Repub?

Sort of like the Slamming that phone companies do to switch your long distance. It would lock you out of the primaries and make is look like there are more R's in the district.

4. It seems really fishy to me..

That's a good analysis.

Now I'm starting to get worried about it.

6. Wait for it to arrive and take it to local Dem headquarters

Let them see what the pukes are up to.

9. Yea... I'm hoping it comes today.

I'm not playing around with these people anymore.

5. I would call the local Dem headquarters

something funny about this.

[CrackpotAmerica]

7. I just did..

Left a detailed message (it's pretty early yet.)

I am hopeful that they call me back today.

Does anyone know the PA election commission Email?

10. Also get in touch with Brad Friedman from BradBlog

They do a lot of election work and hopefully he could get onto that or get someone who can. (bradblog.com)

11. I also wanted to add in 2004

remember there was a group going around with some sort of petition and when someone would sign it they changed their party affiliation. Does anybody remember this? I remember it briefly.

13. I can't find an Email Address...

Do you know it?

Thx!

[CrackpotAmerica]

15. Scratch that

I sent him an email..

Thanks!

8. This may be an answer for you

Snip: <OLYMPIA, Wash. – Voters would have to prove they are U.S. citizens and reregister to vote under an initiative that supporters said they will file this week.

Conservative think-tank Evergreen Freedom Foundation has formed Grassroots Washington, which is backing the initiative that was expected to be announced Wednesday afternoon.

... The initiative would make all voter registrations inactive until people proved their citizenship and reregistered. Voters who show up at the polls and find they are inactive can vote by provisional ballot until their registration is verified, he said.

17. They sure hate letting people vote

They know they can't win a fair and free election, so they are doing everything they can to prevent one. Traitors.

12. It's just pathetic:

That we have to deal with this kind of stuff, isn't it, friends?

:(

14. Definitely follow through with authorities

The Republicans know they can't win honestly, so they must cheat and defraud and rig elections to keep their party going. Don't let them get away with it. You could also call your local consumer watch reporter to see if they're interested in doing a story about it.

16. Thanks, everyone,

I have to get to work.. I shall scan and post the 'form' as a PDF once it comes to me in the mail....

Please kick this if you feel that it is not just me being a CRACKPOT! :)

19. But she sounds so NICE N/T

20. Call the FBI - not joking

21. Update:

I spoke with my County DNC Officer this afternoon.. She was very interested in it.

I forwarded the message and this transcript to her and she said she would review it and get back to me:

Here is the transcript:
(Female Voice)

Hello, I’m calling from the Republican National Committee with an important voter registration alert.
