17,000 Fraudulent Voters in One Nevada District?

The Las Vegas Sun reports that the former executive director of the state Republican Party is attempting to disqualify nearly 17,000 Democrats from the voting rolls in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District. The reason? They are registered at addresses where they no longer live. In other words, they are fraudulently registered. The Democrats are claiming he is trying to disenfranchise people and suppress the vote. No. He is trying to assure that the election is clean and only properly registered voters are allowed to vote in the proper districts and precincts.

Also today: Oregon officials are keeping an eye out for fraudulent registrations, reports the AP:

Election authorities are concerned because clerks in Ohio and Michigan, two other battleground states, have reported hundred of cases of what appears to be phony registrations. ... Oregon Elections Director John Lindback said clerks in Oregon have found examples of similar signatures on more than one registration card and have fielded complaints from parents who said they had received notices indicating their underage children have been registered to vote.

... On the Democratic side, the bulk of registrations are coming from America Coming Together, a group operating independently of the Democratic Party and funded in part by billionaire George Soros.
