Darn those pesky minorities and poor folks. Oh, wait.
The important thing is, you can’t just purge likely Democratic voters. You’ve got to bump your own numbers, too.
They registered dead people to vote Republican, too.

You guys just DON’T UNDERSTAND! This is nothing like ACORN, this was just one bad actor (until the whole 6 county thing popped up and now it’s “a few bad apples”). Of course, this same guy has been accused of it in the past ('04 to be precise). What I love is that this Republican consultant is saying things like ‘you can’t hire that many people without some bad ones getting in’. Which is, of course, exactly what ACORN said. But you know, IOKIYAAR. I await, with eagerness, Bricker and the others properly displaying their righteous outrage at this blatant assault on the very foundations of the country.
Of course, I’m not holding my breath because I don’t look good when I’m blue…
It really IS nothing like ACORN. ACORN flagged the obviously false registrations before handing them over to the state so that the SOS’s office could take appropriate action, which is the legal way of handling this. Sproul’s people were SHREDDING Democratic registrations, deliberately falsifying addresses for Democratic voters, and other things that make this not just a bad apple thing, but a FELONY. And it’s 10 counties at last count, not 6.
And this group has also been hired by state Republican parties in other states. And, incidentally, by Mitt Romney. Nathan Sproul, the kingpin here, did the same crap in 2004, prompting not only a name change for the organization, but a request for investigation by at least two Democratic senators…which, since it was the Ashcroft DoJ who would have to investigate it, was never followed up on.
Delicious. That’s what this is.
