GOP voter registration group funded millions by RNC under investigation for mass vote fraud
Republican National Committee Drops Firm Over Voter Fraud Allegations

The Republican National Committee has terminated its relationship with Strategic Allied Consulting, a firm run by longtime GOP consultant Nathan Sproul that is currently under investigation for possible voter fraud in three Florida counties.

The RNC had paid the firm $2.9 million this year to conduct voter registration drives in five swing states -- Colorado, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina and Virginia.

NBC News reports:

The move came after the Palm Beach County, Fla., elections supervisor discovered 108 potentially fraudulent registration forms submitted by the GOP consulting firm, including suspected phony signatures and home addresses that matched those of a gas station, a medical building and a Land Rover dealership.

NBC News has learned that two other Florida counties, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa, have also reported possible fraudulent registration forms submitted by the firm, including apparent dead people being registered as new voters. Prosecutors in two counties are investigating possible voter fraud by the GOP consulting firm, officials said.

1. Thank goodness the federal election law Democrats passed will provide very stiff

jail sentences for all the corporate officers and everyone else involved and will also invalidate all those state voter ID laws the D of J has been running around the country trying to fight in court.

Should take only about ten minutes in court per D of J lawsuit. All the D of J will have to do is point to the federal law and to the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution and bingo, law thrown out.

Sadly, Democrats filed that bill only in a dream I had in January 2007, after the Democrats had cried foul about the Presidential elections of both 2000 and 2004, then gained control of Congress.

They owed it to themselves and to us, but the only relevant bill filed while they controlled Congress for those five years was the bill that denied federal funding to ACORN.

The bill was signed into law by the Constitutional law lecturer in chief, whom ACORN had helped into a senate seat in the Illinois State House, into a senate seat in the U.S. Senate and into the Presidency. (Before Obama ran for any public office at all, he had worked with ACORN himself, getting a record number of Chicago voters registered, something that served him well, so he was very familiar with ACORN's work in poorer neighborhoods, where vote suppression is most rampant.)

The law was later declared unconstitutional, but it was too late by then. ACORN was no more.

While no one is performing the job ACORN used to perform, we do still have these organizations "registering voters" to benefit Republicans.

Funny how that worked out, isn't it?

I can't think if a single reason why Democratic politicians cry "election fraud" election after election, but never even try to pass a federal elections bill. Can you?

The entire thread is very much worth reading, especially Bradblog's posts. Bradblog and his staff have devoted endless time studying this and I trust the statements that he makes, including the one at Reply #80 especially when they gel with my own musings on the facts stated above.

A federal elections law is owed voters, but I have no patience with Democratic politicians whining about this subject.

Then again, Democratic politicians don't make many public statements about this themselves, do they?
