Hello, some of you know I work from time to time for various parties across the country in their ballot access drives. I have collected thousands of signatures in many states for many parties, including the LP.
While I was in New Mexico, I heard about th Finchers (read about it at: http://www.lpnm.org/investigation.shtml). I have met these people many times and THEY ARE SCUM. Anyway, they were paid to get voter registrations and began writing in, "Libertarian" for party and got caught. This is common practice amoung many drives and I would urge you to check out the ones you are getting.
They also tend to hit up homeless shelters and such, and their registrations turn out to be crap. Not that I would EVER give money to the "Libertarian" party, but if was going to I would make damn sure that another New Mexico did not happen here. Especially if I was paying for it!
