GOP projections of voter fraud prove right

[JollyRoger]

The Republican National Committee has abruptly dropped ties to a firm running a major get-out-the-vote effort in seven swing states after Florida prosecutors started an investigation into possible fraud in voter registration forms.

Working through state parties, the RNC has sent more than $3.1 million this year to Strategic Allied Consulting, a company formed in June by Nathan Sproul, an Arizona political consultant. Sproul has operated other firms that have been accused in the past of improprieties designed to help Republican candidates, including dumping registration forms filled out by Democrats. None of those allegations have led to criminal charges.

Strategic Allied Consulting was hired to do voter registration drives in Florida, Virginia, Colorado, North Carolina and Nevada, and had been planning get-out-the-vote drives in Ohio and Wisconsin, according to Sproul. Lincoln Strategy Group, another Sproul company, was paid about $70,000 by Mitt Romney's campaign during the primaries to gather signatures.

In Florida's Palm Beach County, election officials turned over 106 forms to prosecutors after discovering forgeries and other problems. Officials in other counties are now reviewing voter registration forms turned in by the state GOP.

Sproul said he created Strategic Allied Consulting at the RNC's request because the party wanted to avoid being publicly linked to the past allegations. The firm was set up at a Virginia address, and Sproul does not show up on the corporate paperwork.

"In order to be able to do the job that the state parties were hiring us to do, the [RNC] asked us to do it with a different company's name, so as to not be a distraction from the false information put out in the Internet," Sproul said.

I now understand why Republicans come across as such experts on voter fraud.

You don't know the "Law of Projection."

How do you know what the GOP is planning on doing to you? They accuse you of it first

 

[kramerfan86]

These republican cases of voter fraud are hilarious considering the big stink they've been making out of it.

 

[AlpsStranger]

Well, we just have to do it to counter ALL OF THAT DEMOCRATIC VOTER FRAUD ( waves hand Obi-Wan Kenobi style .)

If Republicans accuse Obama of being a socialist, a muslim, the next Hitler, the anti Christ ............. this dose not bode well.

Exactly

Seriously, I don't even know what to say sometimes. I hate American politics so much now, and I really wish I felt certain that my side was any better.

Yet here I sit, arguing on the internet with Mitt Romney in a Sombrero as an avatar. I'm part of the problem

haha Jolly was just waiting for a story like this.

To tie this to an earlier thread:

And FOX31 Denver has confirmed that the young woman seen registering voters outside a Colorado Springs grocery store in a YouTube video, in which she admits to trying to only register voters who support Mitt Romney, was indeed a contract employee of Sproul’s company.

We all know about ACORN being disbanded because of a couple of their agents going rogue with voter registration - should the GOP be disbanded for some agents of the GOP doing this?

In Santa Rosa County, elections officials found 100 problematic voter registration applications out of a batch of roughly 400 turned in by the state Republican Party.

“Anyone with any sense would have known there was something wrong,” said elections supervisor Ann W. Bodenstein.

Most were changes in current registrations filed in the names of real voters, but signatures were spelled differently than the applicants’ names. Fake house numbers were given, and date of births did not match the names. The biggest red flag was that most of the forms were missing Social Security numbers.

“It was that flagrant,” she said. “In no way did they look genuine.”

Disband ? JollyRoger
This is the Republican party, she will be promoted.

It seems that part of the scheme was to not only register fake and dead voters, but to change the registration address of valid voters, thus making it harder for them to vote on election day.

We are all crooks and in the long run we are all dead. Doesn't mean that in the short time we have we shouldn't try to do things right.

I'm in the weird place where I agree with MisterCooper again

 

[History_Buff]

Man, you guys and your voter registration drives. Just have the rolls of electors auto generated based on tax filings. Then have anyone who isn't registered there register day-of.

 

[JollyRoger]

I think voter eligibility can easily be revealed by the chip we need to implant into people's hands.

 

[dutchfire]

So, any chance of charges being pressed against these people?

 

[Leonel]

Who didn't see this coming?

Once they started accusing the Democrats of doing it I knew exactly what they were doing.

Which is, as always, whatever they are accusing the Democrats of doing.

Oh my.

I reached the same conclusion regarding their non-Christian/Medicare attacks on Obama.

The invisible Obama they're so worried will destroy America, if he wasn't invisible, would look exactly like Romney.

 

[Leonel]

Holy cow you guys are right! Voter fraud, cutting medicare, screwing over veterans, it's all there! I knew something was up but I didn't see this pattern until it was pointed out!

Yeah but then Mittens wouldn't be able to vote for himself as a citizen of the Caymen Islands.
