I consider LG's posts about as newsworthy as VL. They are a lot alike.

Voter Form Destruction Leads To Arrest
Virginia Voter Registration Destruction Leads To Arrest

A Pennsylvania man with ties to Virginia's Republican Party was arrested Thursday on charges of destroying voter registration forms.

Talking Points Memo reports that Colin Small, of Phoenixville, Pa., worked for a firm hired by the Republican Party of Virginia to register voters. b][color=#FF00BF]That would be [i]"Strategic Allied Consulting"[/i], if you remember...[/b][/color Small was charged with destroying voter registration forms, failing to disclose applications and obstruction of justice. Police told WHSV that additional charges may be forthcoming.

A probe into the alleged destruction began Monday, when a store manager in Harrisonburg, Va. reported seeing a man throw away eight filled-out voter registration forms hours before the state's registration deadline. Police later returned the forms to the county's registrar.

"Everybody that had not been on our records is now registered to vote,” Duck Geib, Rockingham County registrar, said.

According to WHSV, the investigation is still ongoing.

And just in case you forgot who "Strategic Allied Consulting" is:

Sproul Says GOP Had Him Disguise Involvement in Voter Registration Scandal

Overlooked in the rapidly escalating charges of massive GOP voter registration illegalities is an admission by the coordinator of the scheme: the shady Republican consultant, Nathan Sproul. Having a long history of legally questionable voter registration tactics, Sproul was a known public relations disaster to a party that had trumped up charges of Democratic voter fraud at the polls that was, according to the MinnPost, "virtually non-existent."

So what have the Republicans been up to in creating national hysteria over a problem that doesn't exist? They've been up to, as Greg Palast and Brad Friedman (among others) have detailed, attempting to steal elections and succeeding at times (think Bush 2000) through a variety of strategies.

One of them, championed by the disreputable Nathan Sproul, has been to aggressively register Republicans, even it appears without their consent, while refusing to register Democrats, as legally required, or allegedly dumping the registrations of Democrats into garbage bins.

Meanwhile, the most well-known strategy the GOP has used to commit Constitutional voter fraud is by suppressing the vote of likely Democrats through onerous voter-ID and other restrictions (increasing length of residency requirements, cutting down on early voting hours, etc.). As the MinnPost noted of the highly partisan Pennsylvania voter requirements that were just judicially vacated for the presidential election, "Republican Mike Turzai, Pennsylvania’s House majority leader, spoke approvingly at a Republican State Committee meeting of the state’s new voter ID law, 'which is going to allow Gov. Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania — done.'"

Now, even the mainstream corporate media is taking note of how the Republican Party, from the RNC on down to state and local levels, reportedly paid Nathan Sproul's firm, Strategic Allied Consulting, millions of dollars. $3.1 million, to be exact...

This all sounds sooooo familiar somehow.....

GOP Voter Fraud Accusations Suddenly Blowing Up In Their Faces
Posted 10/25/2012

Republican officials, who have used hysteria about alleged voter fraud as an excuse to support measures that disproportionately block Democratic voters, are furiously trying to distance themselves from a growing number of GOP voter registration drives that either submitted false applications or threw away authentic ones.

The incidents might have been overlooked if not for the GOP's clamorous campaign to restrict registration drives, purge voter rolls, roll back early voting, and pass voter ID laws that opponents point out have the effect of depressing the vote among minorities, the poor and other generally Democratic constituencies.

As one Southern California alt-weekly put it, it's turning into a story of "The Wolf Who Cried Wolf."

Voter registration fraud is different, way more common and considerably less threatening to democracy than actual voter fraud. Registering Mickey Mouse to vote is easy, and a far cry from actually casting a fraudulent ballot.

The Colorado video [of the Strategic Allied Consulting woman trying to register "only GOP/Romney voters"], combined with the fact that the suspicious Palm Beach applications featured so many party switches, suggest that Sproul's group might have added a new wrinkle: rewarding its canvassers for applications from Republicans or independents, but not from Democrats.

What none of that explains, however, is what might have motivated Small -- who, after all, didn't submit fraudulent applications; he's charged with throwing out legitimate ones.

It just keeps coming....

It won't matter anyway. Romney owns the company that makes the voting machines...

I thought it was Romney's son Tagg? Wasn't it Stalin, who said something to the effect, who counts the votes, rules the nation. One reason the Sec'y of State for Colorado is such a vicious election usually.

Is voter fraud being committed in Ohio?

A source, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a volunteer outside the Morse Road polling center. She has witnessed Somalis who cannot speak English come to the polling center. They are brought in groups, by van or bus. The Democrats hand them a slate card and say, “vote Brown all the way down.” Given that Sherrod Brown is the incumbent Democrat Senator in Ohio, one can assume that this is the reference.

OH NO... The famous "source, who wishes to remain anonymous" said that? Voters who cannot speak English? Why, that must be the ONLY place in the U.S. where there are legal voters who cannot speak English.

I wonder if they were employees of a certain casino, or company in Ohio, and their employer told them they'd better vote for RMoney--0r else, if there's any substantial difference?

Voter intimidation letters sent to Florida GOP members from a Seattle address.

According to YOUR logic, those letters were probably sent by GOTP operatives so they would have something to report to the newspapers, and Rightie blogs.

Hmmm Hoisted on your own petard? And the couple of hundred billboards in minority neighborhoods warning of "felony" for voter fraud, and that intimidation...by....(wait for it) a sleazebag that did it anonymously?

So, some anonymous letters from Seattle compare to this exactly how?

And that compares to SEVEN states with voter-registration fraud committed by a GOTP-fronted firm, and one guy with 13 felony accounts for ripping up Dem registrations, exactly how?
