Colorado GOP spends more than $400k with firm they fired this week
By ALLISON SHERRY The Denver Post

The Colorado Republican party spent more than $400,000 — more than half their overall budget over two months this summer — with a consulting firm they signed on to register voters that has now been accused of potentially fraudulent activity.

Colorado GOP Chair Ryan Call confirmed to the Post late Thursday that he fired Strategic Allied Consulting earlier in the day after hearing about problems discovered by a Florida elections clerk.

Strategic, which hasn’t answered calls for comment, had a $2.9 million contract with the Republican National Committee to register voters in five swing states, including Colorado. A Florida elections supervisor found potentially fraudulant registration forms turned in by Strategic employees, including people registered with phony addresses and names, according to NBC News.

Colorado’s Republican party spent $140,000 in June with the firm and $326,000 in July for “voter contact,” according to the Federal Elections Commission.
