As you probably know the #1 story on the #1 cable news station and all of talk radio has been "THE POLLS ARE ALL WRONG!!!!" ...except Gallup and Rasmussen.
Now we have the "Voter Fraud" firm story.
I saw the headlines about Strategic Allied Consulting popping up during my sporadic news checks at work. Florida....Virginia....etc. All swing states.
Why would an operation both suppress votes and obviously fake voter registrations?
Because they are paid to do both. They feed the narrative, the meme - even with them getting busted by next week talk radio will discuss this as a given that proves their point.

They don't care about this firm getting busted the prime directive is to get "Voter Fraud" (less syllables that "Registration Fraud" in front of everyone's eyes. Nathan Sproul is so hot, so toxic that he was kept off the company's books .......but they don't care - he is a loyal soldier to them.
The point is to justify the weird results on November 6th IF their voter purge operations in Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia actually work.
Romney declaring "I will win Pennsylvania" today is simply another part of this.

I hope I don't sound paranoid or like I am giving them too much credit ("3 level chess" and all that) but this kind of operation that they are clearly coordinating is how sociopaths work. No one knows they are in a game until it is the 2nd quarter and by then they can't win the game.

THIS is the only thing that worries me - that the voter purge works - because that is really their only hope for the Presidential race. And down ticket will follow. Even if it doesn't actually work they will forever claim or imply that .....well some people say there are some questions about how he won..... which makes it seem a little bit less racist than the Birthers....some people say.

False registrations of voters?
Purging valid names from the voter roles of opposite party?
Making voting more difficult for certain groups of voters?
Tampering with electronic voting ballots or totals?

How many conservatives would admit that the end justifies the means?

See Todd Akin.
Second; See Mitt Romney... as for the longest time any other republican candidate
was the "anti-mitt' all the way up until mitt won. Then it was "hey mitt old buddy old pal." From Santurom to Gingrich to Freerepublic.com...
There is no low they wont go. None
When is the last time a republican outside of McCain and his mood swings made a decision based on the greater good and not self interest or party interest? ~crickets~

(50,130 posts)I was thinking of rank and file. Would they admit that the end justifies the means, if the means include election fraud and suppressing the vote?

The publicans will steal millions of votes. They have the means, the motive and the opportunity. Anyone who does not believe that is a troll.

(13,685 posts)Yet here we are with news that a serial vote stealer has been caught stealing votes again and all that has happened is that he changed the name of his company so Rove could hire him again.
The mofo should be in prison!

(77,097 posts)(I think it was CO) Then there's all those swing states throwing perfectly legit registered voters off the rolls. We should be using all those private industrial prisons they built to house the fucking scumbag cheaters.

(13,685 posts)They be in prison yesterday!
As it is, vote stealing is a long honored tradition for the repubfuckians.
And why we have let them get away with it for so long is truly depressing.

(452 posts)Go help people get out to vote. Put of fliers in your community that you will help anyone who needs to get a voter ID. Get people around you to drive people to get their ID's or go register people who are in states without voter ID. Be a friendly voice then contact the Obama camp nearest you let them know the people who wish to vote and have them help get them to the poll. If the Republicans put up road blocks do not give in go vote and get others to vote instead. You win by getting people to vote in masses. Get out the Vote do it now not later. Go get others to vote!

(182,848 posts)You don't have a lot of one-on-one's (lots of Not Home's) but I have found that you really can't tell from the neighborhood. I have done apartments and those tend to be pro-Obama and Kaine. I have pulled into other neighborhoods with McMansions and supposedly upper income types and I find a mostly even split. Generally the younger the person and the newer the home the more support for our side. I also tend to have houses on the "old road" (that existed before the house development was built next to it) and they are oooooold VuhGINyans - they are Romney people because they are told to be. Allen, even in these neighborhoods, .....well there is no telling. I have had a noticeable amount of people who aren't going to vote for Obama but they do not like Allen either.
Powell is another story - I will talk him up if I feel like I have time with the person at the door but mostly this is an introduction of him to voters. We include a powell handout along with the Kaine one. Knocking off an entrenched Congressman like Cantor is tough to do. I get the sense that Powell is the start of really fighting Cantor with good candidates that will continue every 2 years. I am not giving up on Powell (hey he actually got Cantor to agree to debate for the first time in 10years) but it is going to be tough.
BTW- Henrico as a whole flipped in 2008 from 54% for Bush in 2004 to 56% for Obama in 2008. Henrico wraps around the city of Richmond with the western part tending to go slightly Repbulican but not as much as it used to. Eastern Henrico is middle class black new home owners and they tip the whole county to Obama - but they are drowned out by the way Cantor's district is drawn.
