Virginia Republican pleads guilty to dozens of counts of voter fraud.A Virginia Republican and supporter of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) pleaded guilty on Tuesday to perjury and 36 counts of voter fraud.Adam Ward, 28, claimed he collected more than 11,000 petition signatures for Gingrich during the Republican presidential primaries, in an effort to ensure the candidate’s embattled campaign had a spot on the state’s ballot. Over 4,000 of those petition signatures turned out to be fake, according to NBC News affiliate WVIR-TV.Isn't it ironic that right wingers are always whining about the so-called rampant Democratic voter fraud, yet every time we read about voter fraud convictions, they always seem to involve Republicans.
