From NBC29:
Just hours
before the Monday deadline for voter registration, a Harrisonburg store
manager made a discovery that will keep eight citizens from being
silenced. Their completed registration forms were discarded like
trash. Investigators don't yet know if it's criminal activity or just
bad business.
A typical Monday
afternoon at Tuesday Morning, a store in Harrisonburg, took a strange
turn, when the manager Rob Johnson spotted someone putting a bag of
trash in his recycling bin. Johnson went to retrieve the misplaced
refuse.
"That's when I
realized, this bag is really light and looked inside," Johnson said.
"There was the manila folder with the eight voter registration
applications, and I was like, we've got something here."
The Rockingham
County registrar says those forms belonged to would-be voters from three
different counties. Their only common thread appears to be a recent
registration drive in the Elkton area.
"We don't know
what the motive was to throw these away," said Rockingham County Voter
Registrar Doug Geib. "But I don't think it was based on that… because
there's no way the people collecting the applications would know what
party, what candidate these people are going to vote for."
