UCF students duped into switching parties
More voter registration hijinx from those hilarious Dem practical jokers! Edited for brevity.Students at the University of Central [Florida] and two community colleges claim they were duped into switching their party affiliations from Democrat to Republican, campus police officials said Tuesday. Fewer than 10 students have filed reports with UCF police saying they were approached by a middle-aged couple in the student union who asked for support in changing child molestation laws. The students filled out a form that asked for personal information, and some time later they received a notice from the county election supervisor's office that their party affiliation had been changed, said Sgt. Troy Williamson, a spokesman for the UCF police. Similar incidents have occurred at Valencia Community College in Orange County and Seminole Community College, Williamson said. "They thought they were signing a petition to change child molestation laws," Williamson said. "They didn't realize they had changed their political party." All the cases involved Democrats being switched to Republicans, Williamson said. He added that the party switch wouldn't affect their ability to vote in the Nov. 2 election.
