Virginia election officials decided Monday to not take action against a D.C. group that sent voter registration cards to dead people, children and pets and prompted calls for an investigation from Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

The Virginia Board of Elections said it was already working with the Voter Participation Center to improve the group's registration practices so ineligible voters would not be targeted in the future.

Romney's campaign recently called for an investigation of the group, which targeted minorities and young voters when it sent out 200,000 registration cards. The campaign said it was satisfied with the board's decision.

Impossible to tell, with the laws the way they are they specifically make it so you can collect no evidence on the matter. The only check on citizenship is the little check box on the form, the address is "verified" by sending a card, but if the card is returned nobody can remove the name from the registry. When ID is called for all they ask for is a copy of a utility bill. A copy. You know as well as I we can make one that says whatever we want in seconds with a photo editing software...

You can't collect evidence, and when you have some that shows that they shouldn't be voting you cannot remove their names. False address, doesn't matter, fake name, impossible to tell, not a citizen, never verified except by a checkbox on the form you fill out.
 
I also notice that the story, at least the part here, fails to mention they spoofed the address of the voter registrar's office. The address they give has a different zip code and lands in their own PO box. This group sent out filled out forms to people's pets... pets, dead people, and gave a spoofed address.

If I spoofed a website like that and gathered your information I could be arrested, with voter registration it's luck you are ever found out and when you are people like Desh pretend it isn't important.

Why? It seems to eminently fair as it is low cost as everybody already has one, so it addresses concerns about disenfranchisement.

There seems to be no urge to make the vote even somewhat secure in the US. Courts have ruled that people that shouldn't be on the roles stay, they have ordered that asking for identification is a form of "poll tax", even at times against free IDs given out by the state because they too are "poll tax"... Somehow free IDs are too expensive.

so nobody should need any form of ID to exercise a right?
