In reply to the discussion: Voter registration FRAUD at a Safeway in Colorado...WOW! [View all]madamesilverspurs
(15,801 posts)I'm a Democrat in Colorado. When we do voter registration we most certainly DO NOT do it that way.
For one thing, it's ILLEGAL, not to mention unethical.
We bend over backward to treat every applicant with equal consideration, regardless of their party choice.
And the forms are numbered, we have to account for them. They are NEVER just handed to the applicant to mail, we are required to turn them in through a specific process.
It is NEVER a matter of if they insisted on doing it right there. If they want to use the forms we have with us - forms that do not belong to us but to the state - they MUST complete them while in our presence, we then give them their copy and turn the original over to the state.
If they want to register privately, we give them the web address where they can do that.
If we deviate from these processes, there are very significant fines and penalties.
