A private company registering Nevada voters has been throwing out the registrations of Democrats:

• Employees of a private voter registration company allege that hundreds, perhaps thousands of voters who may think they are registered will be rudely surprised on election day. The company claims hundreds of registration forms were thrown in the trash.
  
  Anyone who has recently registered or re-registered to vote outside a mall or grocery store or even government building may be affected.
  
  The I-Team has obtained information about an alleged widespread pattern of potential registration fraud aimed at democrats. Thee focus of the story is a private registration company called Voters Outreach of America, AKA America Votes.
  
  The out-of-state firm has been in Las Vegas for the past few months, registering voters. It employed up to 300 part-time workers and collected hundreds of registrations per day, but former employees of the company say that Voters Outreach of America only wanted Republican registrations.
  
  Two former workers say they personally witnessed company supervisors rip up and trash registration forms signed by Democrats.
  
  "We caught her taking Democrats out of my pile, handed them to her assistant and he ripped them up right in front of us. I grabbed some of them out of the garbage and she tells her assisatnt to get those from me," said Eric Russell, former Voters Outreach employee.
  
  Eric Russell managed to retrieve a pile of shredded paperwork including signed voter registration forms, all from Democrats. We took them to the Clark County Election Department and confirmed that they had not, in fact, been filed with the county as required by law.

Out of control. Nevada should let people register on the day of the election this year -- otherwise, Democrats who justifiably believe that they registered will be forbidden from voting.
