Langston Harris[‘s] voter registration and more than a dozen others collected by the Public Interest Research Group, a lefty fund-raiser/do-gooder outfit, are being investigated by the local and state boards of election. [He’s] not listed in the phone book. The Raleigh address [he] gave the Board of Elections? Well, it doesn’t appear to exist. … [His] signature is almost identical to those of three other people who registered July 13 or 14. … [His] name is a remarkable echo of one of the other folks registering, too.
Just a fluke? Maybe not.
Eagle-eyed Cherie Poucher and her staff at the Wake County Board of Elections caught the discrepancies while going through a massive box of forms presented by the North Carolina chapter of PIRG at the end of July.
At first, the computer started kicking back dozens of the registrations for unknown addresses. So in batches of 20, Poucher and her staff started going through the registrations by hand. …
Antonio Toon … registered once last spring and then again with PIRG this summer — only this time with a slightly different house number and a strikingly different signature. Hmm.
Because of all of the shenanigans in Florida, Poucher has been especially alert to even the slightest whiff of fraud.
