The California Secretary of States Election Fraud Division is now reportedly investigating a GOP firm hired by the Sacramento County Republican Party charged with submitting thousands of fraudulent voter registration forms. According to a report today from Sacramento ABC affiliate News10, a private, for-profit firm calling itself Momentum Political Services, hired by the local Republican Party to boost GOP registration ranks in key battleground communities has turned in more than 3,100 hundred invalid voter registration cards during their recent drive.
This is one more crime in the GOPs long and shameful history of voter registrtion fraud and vote suppression, documented below
This dwarfs the untrue charges made against ACORN by Republicans in their smear campaign. It turns out that it is Republicans who are defrauding voters on a mass scale, pat of their ongoing Republican War on Democracy
The California GOP voter registration firm turned in forms allegedly with fake addresses, voter names that dont exist, duplicate Social Security numbers, and party affiliations that seem to have been changed by someone to Republican. The head of the firm has admitted she has hired workers with criminal backgrounds, as found via Craigslist. This makes any mistakes in voter registration charged to ACORN look small by comparison as this is registration fraud for the GOP on a mass scale in California.

(22,271 posts)political affiliation has been going on for decades. I had two extra people living in my house a few years ago (victims of the economy). All three of us went to the grocery store one day and there was a voter registration booth outside the store. I saw it was run by the Republicans. Knowing the history of the local Republicans to change affiliation I warned my guests. They didn't heed my warning and registered to vote as Democrats. Sure enough, come election time, BOTH of them received Sample Ballots as registered Republicans. We reported it to the local Election Office but seeing as how the head of the elections office was a staunch Republican, nothing was ever done about it.
Also, way back when I was volunteering for the Democrats, we would regularly get complaints at the party office about people's political affiliation being changed.
