NC elections board investigating AFP's error-filled mailer to voters
The State Board of Elections is investigating the conservative Americans for Prosperity voter registration mailers that were riddled with inaccuracies.
Casey M. Mann, N.C. Democratic Party executive director, filed the complaint Monday over the Americans for Prosperity Foundation voter registration mailers that included incorrect information on where to send applications, an incorrect registration deadline, and inaccurate information about getting answers to questions.
The Board of Elections is required to investigate, said Josh Lawson, the board spokesman.
Americans for Prosperity, a group backed by the Koch brothers, has said the mistakes were unintentional, but in her letter to Board of Elections Executive Director Kim Strach, Mann says the mailers are a voter-suppression tool. The mailers reflect “a decision to attempt to utilize misleading, incorrect, and confusing voter registration mailers as a means of discouraging or intimidating voters in the 2014 General Election,” Mann wrote.
A mass mailing where “the intent and effect is to intimidate or discourage potential voters” is a Class I felony.
