Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
LOS ANGELES, April 8 (UPI) -- Elections officials found thousands of flawed registration forms submitted by private firms hired by the Republican Party in Southern California.
Orange and San Bernardino county officials have received complaints from residents who said they had been improperly registered as Republicans, The Los Angles Times reported.
The state Republican voter registration program paid private contractors $3 for each new registration submitted. It was credited with adding 750,000 Republican registrations to state voter rolls in the last three years.
State Democrats run a similar program, but said they pay only volunteers affiliated with party clubs or committees.
Election officials said 1,800 registrations submitted by a private firm lacked driver's license numbers or other forms of required identification.
After the allegations, state Sen. Debra Bowen -- who is running for the Democratic nomination for California secretary of state -- amended a bill last month so it would ban so-called "bounty" programs, in which political parties pay for each signature or registration collected.
