A local librarian checking on a company’s request to set up a voter registration booth in the library discovered the company was not affiliated with a non-partisan national group as it claimed.

Sproul & Associates, Inc. of Phoenix, Ariz., phoned and mailed the library in September, saying it had been hired by America Votes.

2. It probably depends on what they were going to do.

If you are only helping people to register, there's no problem. If they were promoting people to register to a certain party, that's another story!

I helped get people to register to vote in Ga. and we were specifically told we could not have ANY campaign literature with us, could not wear any party t-shirts...nothing to indicate that we were for anyone specific.

3. Apparently a GOP seat in the US Congress.
