Virginia, Ohio, Florida and North Carolina. All the ads said the same thing. Some were through Craig's list, some were through employment agencies. I noticed this morning that a couple of the employment agency ads were no longer posted.

(812 posts)A Voter registration card with Republican Party selected and two forms of photo ID and maybe 2 years of Tax Returns.
When I was a poll watcher I met a husband-wife team of repig poll watchers. They were very nice, chatted with me all day, shared their repig-provided lunch with me, etc. (as opposed to the rest of the repig poll watchers, who were openly doing illegal things like switching ID with other repigs so that they could get a rest)
At the end of the day I found out the two were registered Democrats, and realized they had never challenged a single voter.
They got the job thru a cousin. It turned out repigs are so awash in money they pay their "volunteers", and these two were only there to collect easy dough.
I suspect repigs have tightened the requirements nowadays, although with the general level of total incompetence that repigs have, maybe not.

(653 posts)Similarly worded In Colorado:
http://pueblo.craigslist.org/lab/3293934367.html
And a differently worded ad in Nevada that describes the polling scam like we saw in the CO video:
http://regionalhelpwanted.com/Search/detail.cfm?SN=39&ID=74653346
Description:
We have a mid-day-swing shift surveying position available. It starts as soon as possible. It will be 20 hours a week to start, paying $11.00 an hour. If you do well, you can have more hours!
It is for a conservative organization whose goal is to get Mitt Romney elected, but you would also be signing up all parties (democratic, republican, independent, etc.) who are interested in voting.
The job requirements are that you go to designated locations such as supermarkets and public places and stand out front and approach the public as they come near to ask if they would like to participate in a short survey!
I found a lot of hits using google for the text within those two ads that link to jobs finding sites.
I linked this thread to Rachel Maddows blog to see if it would interest them

(7,754 posts)I really hope the Dems are checking Virginia and Florida registrations really closely. Colorado too. It's close there!!

(653 posts)was whether the registration fraud reports were lining up with where the GOP's firm was working.
Many know about the CO video and Florida (that has expanded to at least 13 counties so far)
Bay
Charlotte
Clay
Duval
Escambia
Lee
Miami-Dade
Okaloosa
Palm Beach
Pasco
Santa Rosa
Volusia
Walton
Pasco, Volusia and one other are more recent additions.
I also saw a report in VA that the address of the GOP voter registration company was bogus.
Here's what has turned up so far in other states:

I'm still looking but so far, it does appear to line up and the more you look, the more you get a sense that this was an organized effort in a number of states.

(653 posts)the office of Elijah Cummings, D-Md
http://peoplesworld.org/lawmaker-probes-florida-republican-voter-fraud/
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., is spearheading the Capitol Hill investigation of Republican Party voter registration fraud, even as the GOP continues to gush slogans of "voter integrity," attempting to impose photo IDs and other measures to suppress the votes of African Americans, Latinos, seniors and youth.
Cummings, ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, took the lead in the probe even as scandal engulfed the Republican Party of Florida, caught red-handed in voter registration fraud by its hired agent, Strategic Allied Consulting (SAC). The Florida GOP hastily terminated its contract with SAC.
Maybe it will help minimize the damage or hold those responsible to account
