Related: About this forumTYT: The Koch Bros Are Destroying Democracy, This Time Using The Mail
"A conservative group with financial and political ties to the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch sent hundreds of North Carolina voters -- and at least one cat -- incorrect voter registration information, according to the State Board of Elections.
The Raleigh News & Observer first reported Thursday that Americans for Prosperity's North Carolina chapter was responsible for sending an official application form to voters that contained erroneous information.
The mailers contained conflicting information about the deadline to submit voter registration forms, incorrect contact information for the Secretary of State and State Board of Elections offices and an incorrect explanation about how voters are notified that their information has been received.* Ben Mankiewicz, Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show), John Iadarola (TYT University) and Brian Unger break it down.

- Why isn't A4P not being charged with mail fraud?
- Why should any one recognize a narrow Republican victory in a state with voter suppression laws as legitimate?
- Why aren't the Koch brothers being investigated under RICO?

(12,233 posts)4. Because they probably own the AG in the state that they target... AND the DOJ, perhaps will get
involved if it becomes a big enough deal... but that would take years in court to process, and will already have its negative effects this election cycle (which many people forget about 2 days after they vote or forget to vote and go on with their hectic lives and bitching about how shitty life is and why or who is to blame).
