And there you have it! This is precisely why they say, "all politics are local." F&S for the OP!
Anymore, I'm not sure which makes me sicker, pedophiles or the GOP. I used to think that pedophiles were about the lowest life form on earth, but now I'm beginning to re-evaluate my scale of despicableness and I think we may have a new leader, or at the very least, a worthy contender.

This along with Ohio's suppression of Democratic voters, just goes to show you which party really is benefiting from mass voter fraud.

If you find Democrats doing any such thing, PM me and I will start a thread about it and post the hell out of it.
In the past month, Nevada’s public assistance agencies have aggressively stepped up their voter registration efforts — including mailing thousands of voter registration forms to welfare and food stamp recipients — following a federal lawsuit accusing the state of disenfranchising thousands of poor Nevadans.
The initiative could benefit Democratic candidates on the November ballot because many in the targeted population have historically voted Democratic.
Under federal law, state offices that provide government assistance, such as food stamps and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families — the program commonly known as welfare — also are voter registration offices.
The lawsuit cited, in part, “Nevada’s ineffectual public assistance voter registration program” for the fact that less than half of low-income eligible voters were registered to vote. That’s compared with almost three-quarters of high-income eligible citizens who are registered to vote.

Doesn't part of that quote include the driver’s license bureau? I know you can here but if you can afford a computer and internet you can also register online.
It comes down to a lot of confusion; confusion on the young woman's part about who exactly she was working for, and confusion from the woman behind the camera on whether anything happening was illegal.
According to Williams, the girl gathering voter registrations does not work for the County office. It turns out she's actually a paid employee for the Colorado Republican Committee.
El Paso County Republican Chairman Eli Bremer says of the girl's confusion, "It was her first day on the job and she panicked. She knew that she was turning in all the registrations to the County Clerk & Recorder's office and she knew that was the appropriate thing to do, and that's how she answered."

I call hogwash. Not down playing voter fraud because it is a real issue, but this just smells of setup to me. But, it surely shows we need stricter voter laws. And who was it who thinks we do not need to have ID's to prove their eligibility?

Proof she was a child? She looked young, but did you see the lady filming? No.

Also, an adult calling a child "Honey B*tch", takes a lot of class. That's also in THIS video too.
Aren't people wonderful to each other?
But is it illegal? CO's Election Code (see section 1-2-506. Prohibitions [PDF]) says only that registration workers "shall not...(a) Seek to influence an applicant's political preference or party registration; (b) Display any political preference or party allegiance; (c) Make any statement to an applicant or take any action, the purpose or effect of which is to discourage the applicant from registering to vote."
Does claiming to be "taking a poll" and asking "would you vote for Romney or Obama?", as the young lady is seen doing in the video, before offering a registration form constitute "a statement...or action...the purpose or effect of which is to discourage the applicant from registering to vote"? According to the Republican Sec. of State and El Paso County Clerk, the answer seems to be 'no'.

I just wanted to add an apology to the young lady for calling her clueless. At that age, I wouldn't have been able to think straight, either, with some nasty bull-hog shouting spittle in my face.

Son, I'm almost fifty, some things you just recognize.
It takes a long time to cram that much ugly into a voice.
Proof she was a child? Where do you guys find these door-knobs?
