Some new voters suspect registration hanky-panky

Leia Maahs registered as a Democrat in June at the West Campus of Pima Community College. Her form, taken by a woman who once worked for a company under investigation in Nevada for allegedly tearing up non-Republican registrations, was never recorded.
Maahs, a 28-year-old artist who recently moved to Tucson from California, said she re-registered when she hadn't received a voter card within two months, but she worries there may be others.
"It really concerns me that a lot of young people who were registering for the first time may not know any different. These are newly registered voters who have received no information at all about what to do," Maahs said.
Dan Kempner, a 26-year-old waiter at the Grill, said he registered with the same woman, who also worked a number of locations Downtown. Like Maahs, he re-registered months later when he hadn't received his card in the mail. Kempner, who moved to Tucson last year, said he ultimately received two registration cards, with slightly different spellings of his name. He took them to the Recorder's Office and now has a single registration.
Pima County Recorder F. Ann Rodriguez said other voters who retained their registration receipts but haven't received registration cards can be added to the list.
