On Behalf of ... the GOP? . . Voter-Fraud Shocker?! On Behalf of ... the GOP? By Patt Morrison October 1, 2012, 12:30 p.m. Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/opinion-la/ la-ol-possible-voter-fraud-shocker-on-behalf- of-the-gop-20121001,0,271245.story . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/9zwnay8 . .There has emerged some potential voter fraud possibly by a group hired by Republicans themselves, which puts me in mind of the verse in Matthew, in the Gospels, "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" which essentially means, who are you, Mr. Pot, to call the kettle black? The controversy surrounds a Republican political consulting firm whose chief operated a voter registration project that was investigated by the Justice Department and several state officials in 2004 on fraud allegations; charges were never filed, and in this 2012 instance, GOP officials, including the Republican National Committee, have been scrambling to fire the consulting firm to contain the political fallout a little over a month before the elections.
.This new dip into the same political hot water concerns a new group headed by the same man whose group is facing questions about suspicious voter registrations in swing states including Florida and Colorado. The GOP was paying the firm a reported $2.9 million to register voters. Several states, including North Carolina, are now looking more closely at voter registrations submitted by the groups workers.
.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 Were 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 clerks office.
.The consulting firm at issue, Strategic Allied Consulting love those innocuous, meaningless-sounding names, dont you? -- was formed under that name just this year, but it is headed by former Arizona state GOP executive director Nathan Sproul. Hes 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.
. snip .Democrats have taken scores of formal complaints to the Secretary of States office from a Riverside County state Senate district where voters say someone registered them as Republicans without their knowledge or consent in a district thats recently reported a surge of 27,000 new Republican voters, something thats drawn attention to the Golden State Voter Participation Project and its chief donor, GOP activist Charles Munger Jr., as well as a number of business groups.
