From a press release:

As part of an ongoing effort to engage its customers and associates, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. will begin a voter registration campaign with public service announcements (PSAs) on its in-store television network later this month to encourage 136 million weekly customers and 1.4 million U.S. associates to register and vote in the November elections.

"Pollsters have found that our core shoppers, Walmart women, are an influential demographic in the upcoming presidential election," said Leslie Dach, Wal-Mart's executive vice president of corporate affairs and government relations.

Wal-Mart women. Heh. Gee, wonder who Wal-Mart wants them to vote for?
