Mitt Romney Accidentally Commits Misdemeanor Voter Fraud While Leaving The Republican Party

Mitt Romney, who just days ago was near tears over his failure to get elected and thus save us all from the horrible fate of record stock market rallies and the addition of 10 million private sector jobs under President Obama, is in hot water for signing voter registration forms without reading them.

Mitt Romney, two-time loser, but third-time hopeful, signed voter registration forms with the wrong address and wrong party. Romney is no longer a Republican, apparently, according to his own careful perusal of the voter registration he signed. He also used an address he hasn’t used since 2009. Oopsie!

Psst: Don’t try this if you’re a Democrat or a minority.

The Salt Lake Tribune found Romney’s voter registration problem while digging through documents obtained in a records request. Thomas Burr reported:

A copy of the form shows Romney’s signature with his old address listed in two places beside warnings that providing false information on the registration document is amisdemeanor violation of Utah law.

It turns out Romney, who is moving to Utah as a full-time resident, strolled into a driver license office in late August to obtain his Utah license and filled out paperwork to register to vote at his under-construction home in Holladay, a suburb of Salt Lake City. But, apparently because of outdated information in the agency’s database, the pre-printed form listed Romney’s former Park City address on Rising Star Lane and with no party affiliation. Romney signed it.

The Romney folks explained it to the Trib, “As they explained it, some star-struck clerks and Romney’s inattentiveness may have combined to cause the problem.”

1. Republican = Incompetent

Now we need a solid senatorial majority victory and a landslide in the house to put competent Democrats and our government back to work.

[Fred Sanders]

2. He could not get the help to do it for him and so revealed his incompetence.

[calimary]

11. Must have needed bigger binders fulla women...

[leftieNanner]

12. HA!

I love that. But where do you punch the three holes to get the women into the binders in the first place?

How can a man be so rich and successful - and so stupid at the same time?

[calimary]

14. Another one of those "born on third base, thought he hit a triple."

Just like dubya and donald trump and all the progeny of rupert murdoch, and others in the born-to-it 1% category, who've never had to get their hands dirty.

romney's nearly-obscene level of wealth means there's a lot he doesn't have to bother himself about anymore. When you have that kind of money, you can afford to be a little careless sometimes. Especially when it's always been that way. He's never known real want, much less being even remotely able to understand it or feel any sympathy or compassion for those who don't breathe his rarified air. When you've spent as many years on top of the ziggurat as he has, with all those fawning underlings surrounding you - who do your bidding and only say "yes, sir" and make sure they've done all the dirty work and the menial tasks so you don't have to, then what else would you expect?

[leftieNanner]

15. Perfect description of all of them

"you people" just don't get it. Some of us have to work for a living.

Enjoy your Monday Cali.

[gopiscrap]

25. Well said!

You chose to high road in responding to this, I just went and dwelled in the gutter!

[A Simple Game]

36. Give the poor guy a break, why rumor has it he and his wife even had to

sell some of the stock that was given to them just to get by back in their college days! He even had to endure 2 years in France while many others were jetting or taking cruises to Southeast Asia for extended vacations. Now who do you think is the Fortunate Son?

It's almost enough to cause a caring person to tear up.

[calimary]

39. LOL! Indeed!

[unblock]

3. well, that's exactly the kind of carelessness you want in the person you give the nuclear keys to.

[DrBulldog]

19. "Hmmm ... let me turn this key ...

... and see what happens ... "

[FoxNewsSucks]

4. It's not the first time.

This greedy American-worker-hating piece of shit used his kid's basement address to register and vote for Scott Brown in the MA election. Even said so publicly. While living in his California mansion.

IOKIYAR.

[hedgehog]

5. I'm curious now - I'd love to see some photos of that basement.

[groundloop]

6. There's a very simple explanation... he owns so many houses he can't possibly remember them all

Mundane tasks like remembering the address of every house you own is for little people, not the 'job creators' of the world. He was probably so tied up with creating more jobs (for Chines workers, but that's a tiny unimportant detail) that he didn't have time to worry about such things.

[louis-t]

7. Excuses and blaming someone else will begin in 5..4..3..2..

[SoapBox]

8. The guy is a moron.

[sarge43]

9. Yeah. That's someone I'd want for POTUS

Doesn't read what he signs - what possibilities.

[SmittynMo]

10. Yet one more reason

why this POS never was elected, twice now. I for one, am damn glad he's not in charge. Can you imagine where we'd be now? Those tax breaks for the millionaires would certainly be in place by now.
A war in Iran and Syria for sure. The economy would have been completely trashed by now. I feel so good he's not in there.

[calimary]

13. Precisely!

He'd probably have made mccain his defense secretary, and actually we'd be in FIVE wars by now.

[SmittynMo]

17. At least 5 .. n/t

[gopiscrap]

26. Yeah and Sarah Palin would have been Secretary of State

because she can see Russia from her house!

[Roy Rolling]

16. "star struck clerks"

To blame the error on the hapless "star struck clerks" who were, apparently, dazed by being in the presence of Romney, shows the arrogance and cluelessness of the Romney tribe.

[DrBulldog]

18. So here's a man who thinks he should be President ...

... and yet cannot fill out a simple form. I cannot decide if it's self-delusion or dementia - both are essentially the same with Republicans.

[DrBulldog]

20. But remember, behind every Republican moron ...

... are millions of American idiots.

[gopiscrap]

27. No kidding

that's the sorrow of it all!

[dotymed]

38. "Star-struck" idiots..lol n/t

[RoccoR5955]

21. Send the bass turd to jail. n/t

[TBF]

22. It's hard to keep track when you own so

many homes in so many different places ... just ask John McCain. To this day he has no clue how many homes he owns ...

[AC_Mem]

23. If he can't even get his own voter registration right

What could he have "inadvertently" signed if he were <<<shudder>>> president?

I mean, seriously!! If a Democratic political name had done this the R party would be on the attack, and God Forbid if our President ever did something like this - not that our President would ever be so foolish as to not check his address on his VOTER REGISTRATION!!!

But IOKALAYAR right?

[gopiscrap]

24. What a fucking, self entitled, asshole,

conceited, clueless moron!

[Kalidurga]

28. How do we know it was an accident?

I see no evidence of any accident.

[japple]

29. Is this NEWS? Isn't this the same story we saw in multiple places

during the last election? I remember much discussion about this on DU. Of course nothing ever came of it because it doesn't matter if you're a republican!

[Blue Owl]

30. He literally insists a camera be on him at all times

So I say "roll 'em!"

[oldandhappy]

31. Wonderful and hilarious

Does this mean he is giving up on California? Yippee.

Yea, well, when you have always had secretaries to do the work --- ha ha

[George II]

32. Reminds me of this headline:

[yortsed snacilbuper]

33. Maybe we should check his birth certificate,

I'm pretty sure he's a foreigner!

[C Moon]

35. That is so hiliarious!

The last job I had, I worked at a company that was 95% left wing musicians.
Of course, I was lucky enough to sit next to 5 right-wing Christians.
One of them was laughing about how stupid some people are for using a hot iron to iron clothing while wearing it.
I would LOVE to send him that GIF.

[C Moon]

34. Mitt is a joke: a self entitled attitude, surrounds himself with sychophants, and clueless.

[SmittynMo]

37. Take your finger, push your nose and

make a sound like psssssssssssssssssssss... (Ya know, like letting air out of a tire)

What an airhead he was and still is.
