If you Google search "register to vote" http://registertovote.org 's paid ad comes up first. Their site claims that they are a non-partisan organization that just wants to "simplify the voter registration process" by allowing you to register to vote online via their site. (They get away with this by appearing to be a legit government or non-profit political speech organization with helpful info and links for people wishing to vote.)
However, they are just a phishing scam to get your personal info and bill you for unsolicited text messages. You will note that their site provides no contact info at all and that the site are registered through a company (domainsbyproxy.com) whose whole purpose is to hide the true identity of the sites that it represents.
They took my wife's drivers license, cell phone number and address, then they text messaged her a "pin #" for her to complete the registration on the site.
