Romney is playing dirty pool with voter registration in Colorado. [View all]

Right now, I'm listening to the local progressive station, AM760, where caller after caller after caller was describing things such as:

Voter registration people at local shopping centers & such registering only Republican voters

People taking "polls", then handing voter registration forms only to people saying they'd vote for Romney.

People asking Democrats to re-register as unaffiliated.

This shit is illegal. The times I've worked in voter registration, the rules were clear - you do not ask people their affiliation, you register EVERYONE.

ACORN got shut down because they were accused of this shit (yes, I know, ACORN itself actually did nothing wrong - it was a bad individual who broke the rules, and ACORN caught him and took appropriate action - they got shut down anyways). The Romney campaign is doing this on an organizational level.
