GOP Voter Registration Firm Turns in Thousands of 'Invalid' Registration Forms in California

Long history of Republican registration fraud continues, dwarfs allegations against ACORN workers
UPDATE: Over 7,500 bad cards from GOP's firm since September...

You're unlikely to hear a peep about this on Fox "News" (unless they happen to have me on), but the California Secretary of State's Election Fraud Division is now reportedly investigating a firm hired by the Sacramento County Republican Party said to have submitted thousands of fraudulent voter registration forms.

According to a report today from Sacramento ABC affiliate News10 [see video posted below], a private, for-profit firm calling itself Momentum Political Services, hired by the local Republican Party "to boost GOP registration ranks in key battleground communities" has turned in more than 3,100 invalid voter registration cards during their recent drive.

In light of the push nationwide, reported by all corporate media, by Republican governors and legislatures, this should be HUGE NEWS. Front page, even. Why isn't it?

The Sacramento Bee published a story about this on 5/5. Sometimes local stories take a while to get picked up. I suspect this one will get some play nationally.
