Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said Wednesday he will investigate Colin Small, the GOP contract worker arrested last week for allegedly throwing out eight voter registration forms. Cuccinelli said his office would "perform a thorough investigation of these very serious allegations" following a request from the State Board of Elections asking Cuccinelli to look into the issue.

Cuccinelli visited the GOP Harrisonburg Victory Office where Small used to work earlier this month and posted a photo on Twitter that featured Small in the background. Small is due in court in Rockingham County on Nov. 5.

6. Something like this?

"We have investigated this thoroughly and while there was suspicious activity, we don't not believe that criminal sanctions are appropriate."

[Kelvin Mace]

10. Too short

After a thorough review of the issues raised concerning the possible improper handing of voter registration forms as outlined in a complaint submitted indicating possible violations of (list of Virginia statutes in question), we have determined that while certain actions and irregularities may have occurred, none of them attained a level which could be construed by a reasonable person to have constituted an actual violation of the laws in question. After consultation with (list of various legal agencies, some actually having jurisdiction in the matter) it was decided that lacking any compelling evidence of criminal intent or conspiracy, the pursuit of criminal action would be a misapplication of scarce law enforcement resources.

19. How can he do this? Where does he find the time?

He used to keep busy by suing climatatologists. Of course, he only went after those who thought climate change was real and human activity causes it.

20. Fox announces he will investigate the strange disappearances of chickens from the hen house.

Otter and Weasel promise to cooperate with Fox's investigation. Chickens having information are requested to make a full report to Mr. Fox.

21. Oh, that guy is going to jail

The suspect destroyed eight forms, so they'll hang him by the toes for the next 30 years. This will keep anyone from noticing the people who destroyed thousands of forms are still walking the streets.
