Well, it could still be Republicans. We don’t know who hired these registration organizations, but it’s most likely to be a PAC aligned with one of the parties. ---

Since the Trump campaign has basically ourtsourced all it GOTV operations and the Harris campaign has not, it’s much more likely to be a Republican-aligned operation. ---

Because when I think of groups who are likely to commit crimes such a voter fraud, nuns are high on my list. It’s just common sense.

The good Sisters, yeah, that’s who you should impugn. I realize there are counter examples, but there are countless orders dedicated to serving the poor. When my son was in high school, one of our service days was to help out a house run by nuns in North Philly—an absolutely impoverished neighborhood. While we were there, trucks would pull up, unexpected, with skids of canned goods (or whatever) that the boss said were “extra,” and to deliver them to the Sisters. The nun who ran the house said that happened all the time, and it was the only way they could keep the house running for the poor, that and donations. If you’re looking for a cohort within Christianity that takes the commandment to follow Christ’s teachings, you’d do well to look into various orders of the Sisters. Yeah, looking for fraud? Why not target a kindergarten class while you’re at it. From the cite: > [@](#): > > Romey also told HuffPost that though no one at the monastery has had direct contact with Maloney, she said that he — or any other visitor — would be welcome to stop by and share a meal and prayer with them. ---
