When you have a campaign built on nothing, cheat to win:
The person recording the video exits a Safeway grocery store and a young woman who is registering voters outside the store asks her, “Are you voting for Romney or Obama?”
The woman recording responds, “Well, wait, I thought you were registering voters a minute ago.” To which the young woman replies, “I am.”
The person recording then asks, “Well, who are you registering? All voters?”
“Well, I’m actually trying to register people for a particular party. Because we’re out here in support of Romney, actually,” the young woman registering voters says.
“And who is paying you for this?” The video recorder asks. “We’re working for the County Clerk’s Office,” the young woman replies with some hesitation and confusion.
[...] Later in the video the woman recording says to the volunteer, “Okay, you cannot come out here and register one party, lady.” The young woman now becoming clearly embarrassed puts her hands up in front of the camera to block her face. “You’re working for the County Clerk’s Office?”
“I believe so, yes,” the young woman says. “And you’re only registering Republicans?” The video recorder says with outrage. To which the young woman replies, “No.”
“You said you’re only registering Romney people,” says the video recorder.
And the young woman replies, “Well, we’re trying to, to be honest.”
NATURALLY the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams disavows what the young woman said. If you’re caught cheating, wouldn’t you also deny it?

Uggggh. This is where I live. In Colorado Springs actually. And it couldn’t be more “Red” here. I would say that 95% of the Republicans here in El Paso County (Which is about 80% of the population) are voting for Romney because they hate Obama. I have asked several and almost all tell me “Romney is too liberal, but at least he’s not Obama” or some variation of that. Remember back to 1992, Amendment 2 here in Colorado? The “Ban” Gay people Amendment. That started here. Focus on the Family and at least 20 equally nut job organizations are based here in Colorado Springs. You can guarantee that there will be more shenanigans like this here in El Paso County. The closer to election day we get, the crazier their schemes will become.
I live in Denver, but have friends who live in El Paso. This doesn’t surprise me in the bit. El Paso is the county that renames I-25 the “Ronald Regan Memorial Highway” and names a back road “Veitnam Veterans Highway.” I live in Jefferson, I will keep my eye open for this crap.
