LAS VEGAS (AP) -- The chief executive of an Arizona consulting firm denied Wednesday that a group he hired to register Republicans in Nevada deliberately tore up Democratic voter registration forms.
State and federal officials said they were aware of allegations that Voters Outreach of America failed to register Democrats and were trying to determine if any laws might have been broken.
Nathan Sproul of Sproul & Associates in Chandler, Ariz., told The Associated Press that there was no truth to the accusations by Eric Russell, who he called a disgruntled employee who was fired last month.
Russell, a former Voters Outreach of America employee in Las Vegas, said he witnessed his supervisor shred eight to 10 Democratic registration forms from prospective voters. Russell could not recall his supervisor's name.
