On October 23, it was learned that 50% of the 8,600 voter registrations turned in by the group were incomplete or incorrectly filled out. U.S. Senator David Vitter, R-Metairie, has asked the state's three U.S. attorneys and its FBI special agent in charge to launch investigations.[1]
Ernie Roberson, the Caddo Parish Registrar of Voters, said the group's registrations make up "better than 5 percent of the registered voter base in Caddo that just magically appeared in our office over a 10-day period." Many cards had names and addresses taken from the phone book, and information on them, such as ethnicity, Social Security numbers, dates of birth or signatures, were false, or in some cases came from people who have been dead for some time.
Of the cards:
- 65% (5,600) were deemed invalid.
- In Jefferson Parish, VIP turned in 2,689 cards, of which 1,135 — or 42 percent — were invalid."[1]
