DEMOCRATS MOVE TO SQUELCH VOTER INTIMIDATION
Orange County Democrats want to squelch voter intimidation with a special training session Saturday for candidates, attorneys and anyone else interested. The training was scheduled after some Latino voters in Orange County received a letter in Spanish, warning them that voting could get them deported if they're not legal residents of the U.S.
It's not clear who sent the letter. News reports said it was on letterhead similar to that of the Huntington Beach-based California Coalition for Immigration Reform, but the group's leader denied any involvement.
In a statement sent Tuesday, Orange County Democratic Party leaders said they expect further efforts to suppress voter turnout Nov. 7.
The training will be offered from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the party headquarters, 200 N. Main St., Santa Ana. For information or to attend, call Susan Freeze at (714) 835-2122.
