WASHINGTON - A Lake Elsinore consultant under scrutiny in connection with flawed voter registration forms in San Bernardino County received about $150,000 from the Riverside County Republican Party to sign up voters.

John Burkett Petition Management received the money from the county GOP to register voters in 2003 and 2004, Federal Election Commission reports show. The exact amount received remains unclear.

Riverside GOP officials said Tuesday they were unaware of any contracts they had previously with Burkett.

This month, the San Bernardino County District Attorney's office began looking at Burkett's firm in connection with an investigation of complaints from voters who said they were improperly registered as Republicans.
