Republican voter fraud

[Chris]

Florida elections officials said Friday that at least 10 counties have identified suspicious and possibly fraudulent voter registration forms turned in by a firm working for the Republican Party of Florida, which has filed an election fraud complaint with the state Division of Elections against its one-time consultant.

The controversy in Florida - which began with possibly fraudulent forms that first cropped up in Palm Beach County - has engulfed the Republican National Committee, which admitted Thursday that it urged state parties in seven swing states to hire the firm, Strategic Allied Consulting.

The RNC paid the company at least $3.1 million - routed through the state parties of Florida, Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia - to register voters and run get-out-the-vote operations. Wisconsin and Ohio had not yet paid the firm for get-out-the-vote operations it was contracted to do.

Oh look! Another leftwing manufactured crisis!!!!

Republicans have fired the firm they had employed to register voters in battleground states.

After Florida election officials said they received faulty voter-registration forms, the Republican National Committee said it had severed ties with Strategic Allied Consulting, a voter-registration firm that was handling GOP registration efforts in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, and Virginia – all key swing states in the presidential election.

Florida Voter Registration Issues Involving GOP Vendor Spread Statewide

Now I trust we can dispense with the objections to voter ID. Excellent!

Now I trust we can dispense with the objections to voter ID. Excellent!

Why? Because Republican operatives are turning in phony voter registrations? That's what ACORN was accused of doing.

Well then it's obviously a problem, thus the article and the posts. The solution is clear, voter ID in all 57 states!

Republicans have only won the popular presidential vote one time in the last 20 years.....2004.

So the only way Republicans can win is for the Supreme Court to change the rules on campaign contributions, allowing billionaire donors to give hundreds of millions of dollars to Romney's campaign, and then have the states illegally block people's right to vote.

So voter fraud is a problem. Why yes, yes it is. It's silly for anyone to say it isn't.

Actually voter fraud is not the problem.

Voter suppression is the problem.

I was trying to figure out the worst attack on American democracy since independence and it seems to me this is it.

When the US was fighting Germany and Japan and even during the cold war, they were fights against world domination. Not directly aimed at American Democracy.

The 50's witch hunts were against boogeymen supposedly hiding in the government, but the wasn't to actually bring down American Democracy.

Even white conservatives in the south who wanted to preserve slavery were doing it because they felt is was a "God given" right:

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)

White Conservatives who worked to deny blacks the vote in the 60's weren't doing it to change the outcome of any election. It was simply conservatives attacking the rights of blacks. Pure racism.

But these Republican Conservatives of today and actually working to undermine the Democratic process. The SAME process that gave us Reagan, Bush one and Bush two, 20 years of Republican presidency.

Worse, Republicans aren't even attempting to come up with reasonable policies to use in the election. It's only about attacking the current president.

As if the voter suppression wasn't enough, there are the new reports of unscrupulous behavior involving some company and millions of dollars all tied to voter fraud.

"Fraud and suppression"? So suppose it works and they occupy the White House for the next four years. Then what? Do they think the same tactic would work again or is there some "darker plan" we don't know about?

Clearly the Republicans Party does not represent the Middle Class. So who does it represent and what are the "future" plans to maintain power. I suspect is has nothing to do with "democracy". If it did, they wouldn't be engaging in voter suppression now.

Voter suppression is the problem.

What you really mean is voting only once is your idea of suppression, when in fact, voting more than one time is against the law.

Voter fraud is also is against the law, which is fraudently adding enough votes in a precinct to change the outcome of the precinct voters' wishes.

RDean, you are lying. It was Democrats who suppressed black voters in the 1960s. It was Democrats who sponsored the KKK, it was Democrats who organized lynchings for black people who dared show their faces on the street after their curfew of 6:30pm.

I remember it when I was growing up.

Stop lying to people who weren't there.

This isn't voter fraud, it's registration fraud.

And the issue isn't voter ID, the issue is changing the rules for voter ID, like not letting students use their university ID, and not accepting perfectly valid ID that has always been acceptable before.

Actually voter fraud is not the problem.

Voter suppression is the problem.

They're both problems. Voters being purged from voter rolls is an all too common problem when you have a sluggish and ineffective government agency handling the process.

That's why standardizing the voting process across the board is so crucial to a fair election.
