Vegas Review-Journal details how a Sproul employee harassed & misinformed a voter

Sep. 30, 2012

I declined one more time and strolled down Water Street trying to count all the inaccuracies I'd heard in fewer than three minutes. The fact he was willing to hustle the beleaguered unemployed to further his sponsor's cause was disgusting, but not surprising.

In a complaint filed with the secretary of state's office, a numbered voter registration form the unemployment office hustler issued was linked to Arizona political consultant Nathan Sproul's Strategic Allied Consulting outfit, which the Republican National Committee finds itself scrambling to distance itself from after voter fraud complaints in Florida, Colorado and elsewhere. The Henderson street canvasser was also spotted destroying a voter registration form - and that fits a troubling pattern of behavior.

The Los Angeles Times on Friday reported the RNC was cutting its ties to Sproul's company, which has received more than $3.1 million to register and get out the vote. Florida authorities have opened an investigation into the destruction of voter forms registered to Democrats by the company.

Attempts to learn whether the Nevada Republican Party and the RNC have ended their contact with Sproul's company were unsuccessful. The cash-strapped state party passed $166,700 from the RNC to fund Strategic's Nevada voter registration drive, an informed source confirmed Friday.
