Voter Fraud Uncovered, And Look Who's Behind It

Republicans.

In the swing state of Colorado, a Fox News station reported on a young woman registering voters in Colorado Springs. In a video, she said that ‘’We’re out here in support of Romney, actually,’’ and then, when she was asked who she works for, risibly claimed – after a long pause -- to be working for the county clerk’s office.  
The consulting firm at issue, Strategic Allied Consulting – love those innocuous, meaningless-sounding names, don’t you? -- was formed under that name just this year, but it is headed by former Arizona state GOP executive director Nathan Sproul. He’s a veteran of about eight years of voter registration efforts paid for by GOP interests, efforts that have drawn scrutiny in several states, North Carolina among them.
As The Wall Street Journal put it:
Suspicions of voter-registration fraud by a firm working for the Republican Party of Florida spread to at least eight counties Friday after apparent irregularities in registration forms emerged earlier this week in a single county.
And remember all the fake chatter Republicans have created to foment Voter ID suppression laws now being tossed in some, but not all states?

The Republican Party of Wisconsin also received RNC funds to pay Sproul for "get-out-the-vote drives" in Wisconsin this fall, but reportedly the money hasn't been spent yet. The Wisconsin funds are part of $3.1 million the RNC paid Sproul's organization "to register voters."

Also, remember just before the June recall elections, when there were reports of "robo" calls and Walker's canvassers telling people that if they had signed petitions to recall Governor Walker they didn't need to vote in the recall election?

There was speculation then about Nathan Sproul's involvement, since a Sproul operative, Dennis Rhodes, had been hired by the Wisconsin Republican Party to canvass for Walker: http://www.politiscoop.com/us-politics/wisconsin-politics/1442-election-eve-group-interferes-with-wisconsin-recall-election.html
