THE nail?

Is THIS the reason Mitt doesn't want his tax info out there?

http://www.bradblog.com/?p=9397

We have long known about the GOP tactics of ELECTION FRAUD and VOTER PURGING. This done under the guise of VOTER FRAUD. These are three different things that we here in the DU dearly wished to see discussed by the electorate. If Brad Friedman is right in his analysis, Mitt Romney may have committed actual VOTER FRAUD and this may be the very thing to get the public's attention.

Paying taxes in New Hampshire and casting votes in Massachusetts while not even owning a residence there?

Claiming he lived in his son's unfinished basement in MA in order to try and legitimize his voting as a non-resident?

If the rethugs want to scream about voter fraud to disenfranchise potential Democratic voters, let's raise hell about Willard, the man who wants to be the Fraudulent Voter-in-Chief.

property there or even rented if it was absolutely vital that that be his residence. But why would he need to vote there as opposed to any of his actual houses?

but it didn't seem to hurt the Coultergeist. Of course, she wasn't an elected official, but the RWers will ignore anything like this, for sure.

I suspect this will become an important topic soon enough....I posted this to focus us in on the potential significance of Mitt's fraud to the the election fraud and voter purging being carried out by the GOP.

If Mitt's fraud becomes the topic-d'jour I suspect, the focus will be on his fraud alone, not the bigger picture. With a push on our part, we can get that bigger picture out. The very last thing the GOP purgers want is for the electorate and the msm looking at their dirty laundry.
