More on the CT GOP’s efforts against Voter Registration

(Originally posted at MyLeftNutmeg.)

Since I wrote my previous blog post, The RNC Brings Voter Suppression to Connecticut there have been a few interesting developments.

More and more people are sending me information about this and about the RNC efforts across the nation to suppress voter registration and voter turnout. This included a PDF of a letter from Lucy Corelli, the Republican Registrar of Voters to Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz and Attorney General Richard Blumenthal about a complaint she filed with the State Elections Enforcement Commission (SEEC). In her letter she writes

I am filing this complaint because I believe in the fair and democratic process. I feel fraudulent behavior should be discouraged and eliminated. Everyone who is eligible has the right to register and vote but this abuse of our system makes a mockery of one of our most precious rights.
