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...

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 firmed 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 hundred invalid voter registration cards during their recent drive.

Voter registration forms have allegedly been turned in with fake addresses, voter names that don't exist, duplicate Social Security numbers, and party affiliations that seem to have been changed "by someone" to Republican. The head of the firm has admitted she has hired workers with criminal backgrounds, as found via Craigslist.

The charges of serial voter registration fraud sound very similar to those leveled in 2008 against another outfit hired by the California State GOP to register Republican voters before that year's Presidential election. In that case, the head of the firm was arrested, and eventually pleaded guilty to voter registration charges himself.

Yes, in 2008 they did the same thing. Also defrauded people switching to GOP. Happened to my oldest daughter. I registered people to vote in '08 and we turned in everyone's registration---but I heard storys that the GOP table at the fair didn't turn in several registrations for Dems.

Damn, isn't it illegal to not turn in every registration form?

Yes it is. And my partner doing the registrations with me had to take them down to San Bernardino within a certain deadline too.

They did this back in 2004. They get away with it because too many white people are more inclined to believe the bad things they hear about those you-know-what Democrats, even a lot of Democrats. And when the GOP gets caught, well, you know, 'they all do it".

I could see two reasons why the Republicans would pull this shit.
One is that they are humongous hypocrites, and whatever they bitch the loudest about the Democrats supposedly doing, they are doing in triplicate.
Two is to "prove" that voter fraud (or voter registration fraud in this case) is real so they need the laws to stop this from happening. In reality these laws stop legitimate voters from going to the polls and that is the real purpose. Most of the people they want to stop from voting are those that are most likely to vote Democratic.

If this were a Democratic organization, we'd see huge, page 1 headlines about it at the NYT and Yahoo. As it is, I expect this will be met with a yawn by MSM. Hope I'm wrong.

So far, not showing up on Yahoo News. This isn't surprising, in that they show a distinct anti-Obama slant.
