Orange County authorities are launching an investigation into possible voter registration fraud after a local newspaper reported over a hundred cases of voters being tricked into registering as Republicans by petitioners who asked them to sign petitions for, among other causes, legalizing pot.
The Orange County Registerreported last week that the Orange County District Attorney's office announced it would team up with the Secretary of State on the case, following a Register report that 99 written complaints were filed since March by voters who said they were registered as Republicans without their consent.
Another 74 voters reached by the Register said they, too, were unwillingly made members of the GOP.
dude, you better get off your soapbox and realize that this trick is the Dems favorite thing to pull. How about ACORN registering people ONLY democrat? There were thousands and thousands registered that way. ACORN members even filled out the forms for alot of these people and picked who they were going to register for.

Could be yet another backfire by the GOP. Now, they have all these registered "Republicans" able to vote in Republican primary elections. If it were me, I would vote in it, and select the weakest candidate possible.

Very true dude, but those individuals were scamming ACORN. As far as I know, Mickey Mouse never got to vote. Most of these were caught by ACORN officals, but they had to be turned into the state, or else would be charged with destroying them. Of course that didn't matter to the conservatives who were trying to smeat them.
Its interesting that you compare the Republicans with ACORN.

I believe you are mistaken. Anyone doing voter registration must turn in the registrations they receive. This is why ACORN bundled the suspected bad registrations together and identified them as suspicious instead of just destroying them.
This would not be the first time that Republican backed registration groups have come under scrutiny.
From the AG's report on ACORN. Section on voter registration.
Allegations of voter registration fraud against were raised in 2008 in San Diego County. The San Diego County Registrar submitted to the SOS 62 registration cards turned in by ACORN and Young Political Majors (YPM). The Registrar believed these cards were suspicious or possibly fraudulent in some way.26 YPM is not affiliated with ACORN and was hired by the California Republican Party to solicit voter registration and Republican Party membership. At the time the ACORN recordings were made public, the SOS had opened cases on some of the cards submitted by San Diego County, but for a multitude of reasons, had not focused its limited resources to fully resolving the cases. Of the 62 suspicious cards submitted, 31 related to multiple re-registrations not found to be fraudulent, and 24 were juvenile registrants that were too young to vote. Of the remaining cards, three were submitted by YPM, leaving four fraudulent cards collected by four different canvassers hired by ACORN. Due primarily to resource restrictions, these types of cases would not normally warrant a significant amount of investigation time. The SOS advised us of no other complaints of ACORN-related problems from the 2008 election.

Republicans have been doing this for years. They hire temporary workers to register new Republicans under the guise of "signing a petition".
Sometimes they hire workers to just go out and register voters without the ruse of signing a petition, but there's a catch for those workers: The Republicans pay them according to the number of new Republican voters they register. I had one of them tell me that he got paid a dollar for every Republican registration; if the voter registered under any other party, he got paid nothing. He even asked me to register as a Republican so he could get an extra dollar. He said I could change it anytime to Democrat, but that he really needed the money, and so he practically begged me to register as a Republican. Pathetic, isn't it?
