RNC cuts ties with firm over voter registration allegations
The Republican National Committee has fired a controversial consulting firm it was paying millions of dollars to conduct voter registration in five battleground states, NBC News has learned.
The move came after the Palm Beach County, Fla., elections supervisor discovered 108 potentially fraudulent registration forms submitted by the GOP consulting firm, including suspected phony signatures and home addresses that matched those of a gas station, a medical building, and a Land Rover automotive dealership.
NBC News has learned that four other Florida counties have also reported hundreds of possible fraudulent registration forms submitted by the firm, including apparent dead people being registered as new voters.

I think it's a rule, if they accuse us of doing something, it means they already are. nt

Can't we prosecute? Isn't there a law we can enforce?

(9,992 posts)7. My guess?
The RNC fired them for getting CAUGHT committing the fraud, not for committing the fraud itself.

I'm sure these people won't take the fall for the RNC.

(4,551 posts)8. Hopefully this will be the day where the Republicans are finally EXPOSED!
Make sure this story goes viral and national over the next week and wakes Americans up to reality of what the Republicans have been doing since 2000!
People need to know that electoral theft has occurred under the Republicans and that you don't just have to live in a 3rd-world country to see voter suppression going on - it happens right in America!
Make them pay for every vile thing Katharine Harris and Ken Blackwell did!
