Whose Fraud? Ex-Republican operative target of voter complaints

Republicans have been warning about voter fraud undermining democracy. In many states, including New York, new strict new rules or proposals set deadlines with punitive sanctions for voter registration drives, curtail voting hours, add voter ID requirements and the like. Such restrictions are seen to benefit Republicans by suppressing likely Democratic votes from the elderly, the poor and minorities. A party leader in Pennsylvania crowed about the rules delivering his swing state to GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney — until a judge this week blocked them.

Rince Priebus, head of the Republican National Committee, put it frankly: “Democrats know they benefit from election fraud.”

Now comes word that the most egregious current example of alleged voter fraud may not be coming not from the Democrats.

It seems Florida’s Department of Law Enforcement is examining “numerous” claims in complaints from 10 counties involving alleged falsification of voters’ addresses and names, paperwork filed on behalf of dead people, and applications where it appears the Democratic Party designation has been erased. All the allegations trace back to Nathan Sproul, who accumulated $17.6 million in contributions from GOP candidates, the party and the conservative “super-PAC” American Crossroads since 2004.

I linked this article because it is written by the editorial board, and because it points out that 17.6 million has been paid to Sproul since 2004, a higher number than I had previously read. How many other operatives are involved? Keep this story burning.

1. They didn't continue paying him if he wasn't giving them results!

How much damage has he done to our electoral system?

2. American Crossroads. eh?

When will someone finally nail that treasonous Pig, Karl Rove, and put him in jail? Honest to God; what is it going to take? This slimy fuck has gotten with murder (maybe literally in Mike McConnell's case) and yet the Democrats never take him down. It's like he's a bad horror sequel that just keeps on coming back.

5. wealth overwhelms our justice system

...our country has been corrupted and people need to stand up against it. They have even convinced part of the underclasses that our government is bad, and that our whole system needs to shrink... that includes everything that tax payers have invested in.
