Fmr. GOP Operative Move to Block Some Nevada Dem Voters Fails

HeadlineOct 14, 2004

In election news, a former Republican operative in Nevada has failed in an attempt to purge 17,000 Democrats from the state’s voting rolls. Nevada’s former Republican Party chair Don Burdish claimed the Democrats were inactive voters. But county officials rejected the request.

Meanwhile in Oregon, the secretary of state and attorney general have announced plans to investigate allegations that a Republican-funded company called Voters Outreach of America threw out voter registration forms filed by Democrats. Similar complaints have surfaced about the same company in Nevada. Former employees of the company have said they personally saw supervisors toss out voter registration forms filed by Democrats. The move could leave hundreds and possibly thousands of Democrats in Oregon and Nevada unable to vote even though they had registered.
