CHRIS WILLIAMSON, KRQE-TV NEWS 13 REPORTER: It was her Saturday morning routine.
...
WILLIAMSON: It was a voter registration card for an Edward Gomez.
...
WILLIAMSON: Fred Chanatry is also steamed.
...
WILLIAMSON: He received a phony voter registration card last week, but this one was more clever, at least it got his name mostly right.
...
WILLIAMSON: 74 - year - old Donald Clark died from lung cancer in March 2002.

WILLIAMSON: Each of these bogus voter registration cards means a new voter has been created and whoever filled out the cards has the minimal information theyâ€ll need to cast that ballot.
