Republican Party paid firm connected to voter-registration fraud in Florida $400,000 in September
by Meteor Blades
Federal Election Commission filings show that the Republican National Committee paid Strategic Allied Consulting LLC $416,665 for "management consulting services" in September. The firm, owned by GOP operative Nathan Sproul, was fired by the RNC and five state Republican parties after apparently fraudulent voter-registration forms turned up in 10 Florida counties. The payments were provided before Republican ties with the firm were cut off.

A spokesman for the RNC said at the time Strategic Allied Consulting was fired that the party has "zero tolerance" for anything that smacks of voter-registration fraud. But it has stuck with Sproul over nearly a decade despite repeated allegations in various states that his firms have been involved in trickery and deceit. There's a pattern of alleged misbehavior.
The Florida party had previously paid the firm, Strategic Allied Consulting, $1.3 million in July and August, according to the Palm Beach Post. The RNC had directed another $3.1 million to the firm through state organizations in Florida, Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia, according to the Los Angeles Times.
