The Republican National Committee has been caught red-handed trying to sabotage the Democratic vote around the nation ahead of this year's election. As Brad Friedman at BradBlog.com reported, the Florida Republican Party cut ties with a political firm known as Strategic Allied Consulting after it was discovered that firm changed addresses on numerous voter registration forms to block newly-registered Democrats from voting in November. The scandal is now spreading, as at least ten counties in Florida have discovered these fraudulent registration forms. And law enforcement authorities are getting involved in the matter. And the National Republican Committee has also cut ties with the firm, which it gave $3.1 million to register voters in wing states like Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina, and Virginia. It's unclear how much damage this election fraud may have on the elections in those states. Joining Thom Hartmann to break some new information in this scandal is Greg Palast - investigative journalist with the BBC and the Guardian - and author of the book: "Billionaires & Ballot Bandits: How to Steal an Election in 9 Easy Steps."

(97 posts)They belong in jail but I don't see anybody doing anything about it. It makes me angry to see them get away with this crap.

(2,424 posts)Turmoil for the Attorney General diverts attention and resources at a time when the election was beginning to take center stage. This also dramatically weakens Holder politically, among low information voters, when the time comes for Holder to act.
This is one well thought out Master Plan.
I suspect Wall Street is behind it.
Wall Street manipulates ALEC. ALEC manipulates the GOP. The GOP manipulates the vote.
Follow the money trail.
Edit: A previous post mentioned that "these people have to be stopped".
My take:
If they are "too big to fail", they are too big to be stopped. The coup is nearly complete.

(14,549 posts)They made Romney win the primaries with similar crap. And now they are stuck in a shotgun marriage that few of them want to continue.

Iowa, Maine, New Hampshire, Florida. Turn outs were anemic and the most energized base was not for Romney.

(938 posts)not that f'ckin' tape Faux is touting. Seriously, if things look real bad on election day, it should be re-scheduled to November so all the damage can be rectified--WITH international observers to make sure there are NO MORE DIRTY TRICKS!
