Florida finds evidence of voter fraud by GOP-tied firm

As we always suspected . . .

From the AP:


The Florida Department of Law Enforcement reported Tuesday that the two ex-employees were charged with a third degree felony. But prosecutors back in January decided to place both of them on probation because neither has a criminal history.

Strategic Allied Consulting was hired by Republicans to do voter registration drives in Florida and other states. But last fall, the state party fired the company and took the additional step of filing an election fraud complaint against the company with state officials.

Rebekah Joy Paul submitted 20 fake voter registration applications, according to the FDLE, while Christian Davis Price submitted seven. Both alleged that they were told they would not get paid unless they submitted a certain number of applications, and Paul alleges that she was instructed not to register Democrats.

In Florida, there are still four other pending cases against the firm, though an attorney for the company says the investigation is looking at at most six employees, so the probe is just a “tempest in a teapot.”

If they have nothing more than a slap on the wrist, why not go ahead and do it? Nothin' is going to happen.
