The Washington Post, the Richmond-Times Dispatch and PJ Media have all published reports that the group is sending out hundreds of thousands of voter registration forms in many US states, and many of those forms have been addressed to the deceased, children, and even pets. VPC founder and president Page S. Gardner led the call with a statement, in which she said that the VPC is &#8220;Stunned that the Romney campaign would try to shut down legitimate voter registration,&#8221; and that VPC is asking the Virginia attorney general to &#8220;refuse to investigate these lawful efforts.&#8221; Gardner added that the Romney campaign&#8217;s call for an investigation of the group &#8220;may rise to the level of legally interfering with Virginians&#8217; right to vote.&#8221; Gardner dubbed the investigation request &#8220;absolutely wrong and absolutely outrageous.&#8221; Gardner described the Voter Participation Center as &#8220;non-partisan&#8221; despite the fact that she is a long-time Democratic operative, John Podesta sits on the group&#8217;s board, and the group receives its funding from leftwing groups.]]>Wed, 25 Jul 2012 13:58:44 -0400<![CDATA[Bryan Preston]]>https://pjmedia.com/bryan-preston-1/2012/07/25/update-voter-participation-center-president-says-romney-campaigns-investigation-request-is-absolutely-wrong-and-absolutely-outrageous-n168866
