Nationwide GOP Voter Registration Fraud Scandal Widens, Becomes Criminal Matter in Florida
http://www.bradblog.com/A major element of the Republican National Committee's overall attempt to game the 2012 elections by trying to affect who gets to vote and who does not, has just been stopped dead in its tracks.
Along with it, a criminal election fraud complaint has now reportedly been filed with law enforcement in the state of Florida against a Republican firm, owned by a paid Mitt Romney consultant, which was hired by the GOP to carry out partisan voter registration operations in at least five battleground states.
Millions of dollars were spent on the aborted effort by the GOP over the last two months --- their largest single expenditure in several of the states where the scheme was in full tilt --- to seek out Romney supporters only, and sign them up to vote.
The strategy resulted in (or included) fraudulent registration forms collected by the firm and then submitted in Florida by the state GOP with voter addresses, signatures and party affiliations changed. Election officials in the state have told The BRAD BLOG that they fear the scheme could result in the disenfranchisement of a still-unknown number of otherwise legal voters, and they are taking extraordinary measures to try and contain the potential damage as they attempt to work through more than 45,000 new and updated registrations submitted by the GOP and verify their legitimacy.

& sending in only Repuklican forms. This is criminal & this it's the only firm the RNC used & this man has been doing this since 2004. This went as far as AZ, CO. They even (knowing about allegations in the past) Nathan Sproul was asked at the request of the RNC to change the name of his firm as to not to connect with the past allegations. As of today the FL Dept of Law Enforcement as launched a statewide inquiry into the registration activities of this firm. Apparently, this company is the only firm the Rmoney campaign was using to register voters. Keep in mind they changed their name three times and operated in allegedly 7 swing states. I saw one instance where in FL a woman video taped a woman who was doing door to door voter registration & when the resident stated she would like to register & began to complete the form, when the employee found out the woman registering was a Democrat, she stopped the process. The voter exclaimed "why did you stop when I said I was registering as a Dem?" The girl who had originally said she was working for the county clerk replied that she was told to register only Repuklicans. That was in Palm Beach county!
One more thing to keep in mind for anyone that says the R/R campaign isn't involved...this fraudulent company was the ONLY registration firm they employed this election season, period!
The only voter fraud that can truly be proven is not in person fraud, but fraud that is done long before the time we vote.
This is a FEDERAL CRIME! Let's hope this is made clear to all Americans. This totally sickens me.
