Meanwhile in North Carolina...It turns out that AFP has sent hundreds of thousands of these error-ridden, confusing voter registration forms in North Carolina, and both local elections offices and the state board of elections have been swamped with phone calls from confused voters. The forms had numerous bits of misinformation, from filing deadlines to where to send the completed forms to who to contact for more information. The scope of this misinformation is massive, considering its gone to hundreds of thousands of voters, and has resulted in an investigation by the state, after the state Democratic Party filed an official complaint. Deliberately misinforming voters is a felony. But heres an interesting part to the story. Remember all the pooh-poohing about the Democrats strategy of hitting the Kochs? When Republicans and pundits alike were saying that the Koch brothers had no name recognition and it would all backfire? Look at how the local news framed this story: The group behind the mailing is the sharply conservative, Koch brothers-backed Americans for Prosperity Foundation. No, nobody ever heard of the Kochs and their anti-democratic activities.
