This group targets Democrat blocs such as unmarried women, African-Americans, Latinos and young adults. As one woman noted, who received a voter registration for her dog, “On a serious note, I think it’s tampering with our voting system. They’re fishing for votes: That’s how I view it.” That’s how we all view it. No wonder Holder is desperate to stop voter roll cleanups like the one in Florida and photo ID requirements.

The voter registration form arrived in the mail last month with some key information already filled in: Rosie Charlston’s name was complete, as was her Seattle address.

Problem is, Rosie was a black lab who died in 1998.

A group called the Voter Participation Center has touted the distribution of some 5 million registration forms in recent weeks, targeting Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as unmarried women, African-Americans, Latinos and young adults.

But residents and election administrators around the country also have reported a series of bizarre and questionable mailings addressed to animals, dead people, noncitizens and people already registered to vote.

Brenda Charlston wasn’t the only person to get documents for her pet: A Virginia man said similar documents arrived for his dead dog, Mozart, while a woman in the state got forms for her cat, Scampers.

Several election officials said they believed the voter registration systems were secure enough to catch people who might improperly submit the misdirected documents.

But administrators in New Mexico, a potential swing state in the 2012 presidential race, warned that ineligible voters who complete the documents could make it onto the rolls.

New Mexico is one of two states in which noncitizens can qualify for a driver’s license by simply proving residency — not necessarily legal residency — and state elections officials have no way of verifying the legal status of those who file registration documents.

Ken Ortiz, the chief of staff at the New Mexico secretary of state’s office, said some noncitizens have contacted the state asking why they received the forms when they’d previously been told that they could not vote.

“We fear that some of these individuals who receive this mailing may feel that they are being encouraged to vote by our office or county government,” Ortiz said.

    Thanks for the post, Gina.

    Terrible view of life. It’s legal if no one gets caught. That’s the rationale behind saying don’t worry about inappropriate solicitations, the verification system for eligible voters will work. And people wonder why there is so much cheating by students, it’s not just the expanded ability due to new technology, it’s the character of bad leadership.
