Republicans end swing state voter registration

“The Republican National Committee ended efforts to sign up new voters before the deadline in key states for the presidential race because of questions raised over registration applications tied to the party.

The five states have registration deadlines from Oct. 6 to Oct. 15. Stopping efforts before then could hurt Republican nominee Mitt Romney in his bid to unseat Democratic PresidentBarack Obama, said Lance deHaven-Smith, a Florida State University political science professor in Tallahassee.”
