GOP-Sponsored Voter Fraud — shades of ACORN!

By

The same GOP that has used the VoterID canard to disenfranchise millions of minority voters nationwide has apparently been funding massive real-life voter fraud in Florida (emphasis mine):

WASHINGTON — Florida elections officials said Friday that at least 10 counties have identified suspicious and possibly fraudulent voter registration forms turned in by a firm working for the Republican Party of Florida, which has filed an election fraud complaint with the state Division of Elections against its one-time consultant.

The controversy in Florida — which began with possibly fraudulent forms that first cropped up in Palm Beach County — has engulfed the Republican National Committee, which admitted Thursday that it urged state parties in seven swing states to hire the firm, Strategic Allied Consulting.The RNC paid the company at least $3.1 million — routed through the state parties of Florida, Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia — to register voters and run get-out-the-vote operations. Wisconsin and Ohio had not yet paid the firm for get-out-the-vote operations it was contracted to do.

The RNC severed its ties to the firm Thursday after questions arose about the work Strategic Allied did in Palm Beach County, where election officials have turned over to prosecutors 106 voter registration forms submitted by one worker, some of which contained apparent forgeries and other problems.

Seems like a whole lot Republicans who were loudly outraged by the ACORN kerfuffle in 2008 are suddenly very quiet. Is this another case of IOKIYAR?

In any case, we are seeing what real voter fraud looks like. As has so often been the case, this real voter fraud is at the hands of the GOP.

  1. Florida’s David Rivera appears to have funded a hand picked “Democratic” opponent.

    While in Colorado;

    “I’m actually trying to register people for a particular party,” the girl tells a woman in the video, which has been viewed more than 417,000 times. Because we’re out here in support of Romney, actually.”

    Sproul told the Times he formed Strategic Allied Consulting at the request of the RNC for publicity’s sake, given past negative media coverage of Lincoln stemming from past allegations going back to 2004, when employees in Nevada and Oregon signed up Democrats but threw out their forms instead of turning them in.

    The beat goes on.

    • I hope more people interested in this issue watch that news report displaying the Strategic Allied Consulting/RNC strategy.

  2. …implies there was systematic voter fraud committed by ACORN. Yes, there were a few isolated problems by ACRON people / offices. But nothing as systematic as targeting 7 swing states, like this Republican scandal.
