FLORIDA GOP FIRES ROMNEY CONSULTANT'S VOTER REGISTRATION FIRM AFTER FRAUDULENT FORMS REPORTED IN PALM BEACH COUNTYFirm owned by notorious GOP operative Nathan Sproul, accused of destroying Democratic registration forms in years past, hired 'at request of RNC', still operating in several key swing states...The Republican Party of Florida's top recipient of 2012 expenditures, a firm by the name of Strategic Allied Consulting, was just fired on Tuesday night, after more than 100 apparently fraudulent voter registration forms were discovered to have been turned in by the group to the Palm Beach County, FL Supervisor of Elections. The firm appears to be another shell company of Nathan Sproul, a longtime, notorious Republican operative, hired year after year by GOP Presidential campaigns, despite being accused of shredding Democratic voter registration forms in a number of states over several past elections. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Strategic Allied Consulting has been paid some $667,000 this year by the FL GOP, presumably to run its voter registration campaigns in the state. That number, however, does not account for another identical payment made in August. The Palm Beach Post is reporting tonight that the firm received "more than $1.3 million" from the Republican Party of Florida "to register new voters." The firm is not only tied to the FL GOP, but also to the Mitt Romney Campaign, which hired Sproul as a political consultant late last year, despite years of fraud allegations against his organizations in multiple states.Read MoreWant more?Video Appears to Reveal GOP Voter Registration Worker Screening Out Dems in ColoradoOver the weekend, this disturbing video of a voter registration worker at a Safeway grocery story in El Paso County, Colorado went somewhat viral...The short video shows a young woman attempting to register voters outside the grocery store, but asking first: "Would you vote for Romney or Obama?" When the unidentified woman shooting the video then asks the registration worker who she works for, the young lady admits, "I'm actually trying to register voters for a particular party, because...we're out here in support of Romney, actually." Then the woman asks her who is paying her for this work and the young lady, after a moment's pause, says, "We're working for the county clerk's office." The woman is, understandably, aghast at the registration worker's response and asks again incredulously, "You're working for the county clerk's office?!" "I believe so. Yes," replies the worker, shortly before the video ends. As it turns out, the registration worker was not working for the El Paso County Clerk's office, according to responses sent to The BRAD BLOG by the CO Secretary of State's office as well as the El Paso County Clerk. Instead, she was a paid employee of the state Republican Committee, as confirmed by the local GOP Chairman.Read More and Watch the VideoAll this whining by Republicans about rampant voter fraud, which they can't prove, but just know is occurring, is nothing but a red herring to distract us from who is really trying to steal the election.
