NC GOP fires voter sign-up firm over Florida fraud

Source: WRAL

RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina Republican Party has fired a company paid to register new voters after fraudulent forms linked to the company were uncovered in Florida.

North Carolina GOP spokesman Rob Lockwood said Monday the party had terminated its relationship with Virginia-based Strategic Allied Consulting, a private company paid more than $3 million to register voters in at least seven presidential battleground states.

"We take any threat to the voting process very seriously," Lockwood said.

The State Board of Elections is also alerting county elections officials to scrutinize all new voter registrations because of fraud concerns.

Can't the Republican Party also be sued by the voters who have been defrauded in the process that the republican Party sponsored and paid for?

and of dumping or simply refusing to write up democratic registrations. All of these are practices the same company engaged in under other names in recent past elections, but run by the same Scum of an owner. They paid him 3.1 million to do the job and at that price I find it difficult to believe he did other than what they requested.

The only way you know the party registration has been altered is when the voter arrives and notices it, if then.

One does wonder just who his stockholders turn out to be since Mitt seems to hold so many keys to the system by proxy and so many of his former Bain associates are inside the vote counting system.

Since the owner is a pet of the Rove machine and therefore protected from prosecution, I suggest prompt public action may encourage him to emigrate with immediate effect.
