Republican Voter Registration Firm turns in thousands of fake registration cards

The California Secretary of State’s 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 GOP’s long and shameful history of voter registrtion fraud and vote suppression, documented below

This dwarf’s 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 don’t 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.

Who has a list of everyone who does not have a State ID? If someone does not have an ID they are unlikely to try to vote and would not know if someone voted in their place.

If you can make it to the polls and dip your finger in the bottle of dye you can vote. Fuck all this BS registration.

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.

and won't issue a retraction saying their decision was "based on the info that they had at the time".
