Voter registration group slammed for its tactics

WASHINGTON - A nonprofit group working to add 3 million single women to the voting rolls in Louisiana and other states may be doing more to confuse existing voters than to register new ones, officials in Louisiana and other states say.

...On May 1, the group began mailing more than 160,000 voter registration packets to Louisiana residents. But the group's motivation and methods have come under question in Louisiana and other states.

Louisiana Secretary of State Jay Dardenne issued a news release recently saying most of the people contacted by the Woman's Voices group and another voter registration group, the Voting Integrity Project, already are registered to vote.

The release didn't name the groups, but Dardenne's office later disclosed their identities. The release said the groups are using flawed data and have sent applications to "deceased persons, convicted felons and at least one dog."
Dardenne's press secretary, Jacques Berry, said elections officials in other states also are questioning the mailings.
