THE GOP'S STOLEN ELECTION, PART 1
THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF POSTS ABOUT ALLEGATIONS OF GOP FRAUD AND EFFORTS TO SUPPRESS THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE DURING THE UPCOMING ELECTION. IF YOU'RE NOT OUTRAGED, THEN YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!
First, we'll be taking a look at Nathan Sproul and his "Voters Outreach of America" voter registration efforts in swing states.
"Voters Outreach" has gone into numerous swing states, including West Virginia, Nevada and Oregon, in order to register new voters. It's been touting itself as a nonpartisan voter registration group, but numerous links show it is being run by Nathan Sproul with Sproul & Associates of Phoenix, Arizona. Mr. Sproul is the former Executive Director of the Arizona Republican Party, and before that he was head of the Arizona Christian Coalition.
Here's what's wrong with "Voters Outreach of America." In EVERY state, temporary workers were hired to register voters. And in every state, either A) they were only PAID for GOP registrations, or B) they TORE UP DEMOCRATIC REGISTRATIONS.
Numerous news organizations are now watching this story, including CBS News, Associated Press, Reuters, and CNN.
Blogger Daily Kos has been keeping up with this story on a couple of threads - you can read his stories, with extensive links here and here.
