Team Bush Paid Millions to Nathan Sprouland Tried to Hide Itby Mark Crispin Miller and Jared Irmas
In the months before the 2004 presidential election, a firm called Sproul & Associates launched voter registration drives in at least eight states, most of them swing states. The group--run by Nathan Sproul, former head of the Arizona Christian Coalition and the Arizona Republican Party--had been hired by the Republican National Committee.
Sproul got into a bit of trouble last fall when, in certain states, it came out that the firm was playing dirty tricks in order to suppress the Democratic vote: concealing their partisan agenda, tricking Democrats into registering as Republicans, surreptitiously re-registering Democrats and Independents as Republicans, and shredding Democratic registration forms.
...................
It seems that Sproul did quite a lot of work for the Republicans. Exactly how much did he do? More specifically, how much did the RNC pay Sproul & Associates?
..........................
The documents also suggest that the RNC may have changed the dates of nine payments to suggest expenditures in 2005, thereby shifting focus from the 2004 election.
good STUFF, yeah!

(70,291 posts)When many people came to register new voters in Ohio some as "America Coming Together"
Sproul and Associates dressed up some people as "Move America Forward" and took voter registrations
but they pitched all democratic registrations. I know because they were active in Columbus, OH around college
campuses. Sproul and Associates were also paid for some kind of work after the 2004 election in
Ohio having to do with the recount.
The republicans know who and what they are getting w/ Sproul.
