    It's no wonder the right-wing is so misinformed and relies on faulty, fraudulent information. If you read the article above from Fox News's website, you may notice that it is lacking one very important detail. It fails to mention that the election fraud was directly tied to the Republicans.

    Bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

    "Sproul blamed the suspicious forms on a single employee in Palm Beach County. But Florida election officials tell CBS News they have found a "couple hundred" voter registrations in eight Florida counties with "irregularities" that deserve further scrutiny. They are currently reviewing the registrations and if they find them to be "legally significant" they will turn them over to law enforcement. This could happen by the end of the day. "

    They turned the registration forms in. Don't get me that (*)(*)(*)(*) that they "policed themselves". The RNC KNEW that the guy who started the company in question has been involved in embroiled in election fraud but they pushed for the company to be hired anyways. It wasn't until ELECTION OFFICIALS discovered the irregularities that the GOP "fired" the company.

    Grok's not a hypocrite, he's just very...anti-Obama and likes to bring up Acorn.

    But while we're on election fraud...did I mention all the cases surrounding Ron Paul's run for the nomination yet?

    True, but he has a point that the particular article he cited didn't mention that the company hired was hired by the Republican Party. So I think he has a good point that this is a case of Media bias, although I admit it looks really weird when the bias favors the Republicans. Frankly I'm not used to that, it's such a rarity.

    lol, what scum they are. Obviously biased scum. They report on voter fraud, and make sure to include talking points about how it's happening and needs to be curbed, but they fail to mention IT'S ALL REPUBLICANS COMMITTING THE FRAUD. So, even when it's republicans committing fraud, they leave that part out so it can help republicans push their other voting fraud tactics in the ironic name of stopping voter fraud. It's insanely devious. Report on republican voter fraud while leaving out the key details in an effort to promote more voter fraud from republicans. Burn this organization to the ground.

    Those evil Republicans!!

    Say, can somebody send Obama a bunch of money in the form of a campaign donation?

    Then maybe he will round up all the Republicans and put them in the gas chamber.
    That will fix everything.

    Oh, and sending billions of dollars to Egypt and Pakistan.
    That, and gassing all the Republicans.
    That will fix everything.

    Yeah, Todd, we on the Right are all about the shallow pith....

    While an American ambassador and three of his staff are murdered and our embassies in the Middle East are invaded by Islamo-nazi mobs, we focus on lies about how it was all the fault of some joke of a vid on youtube when it was a al-Qaeda attack -- called out in advance, but ignored by the stupid Obama regime. But the hyperlibs and their Obamanite suckass media cover important topics like Mitt Romney being a bully in high school or the fact that his wife puts on black fingernail polish! "Oh, the humanity!"

    Do know that there is a huge difference between voter registration fraud and actual voter fraud? ACORN, which used a wide variety of volunteers to register voters, brought the fraudulent forms to the attention of election officials themselves.

    In the case of Strategic Allied, the registrar found fraud on 106 forms. Nathan Sproul, who owns Strategic Allied, has been busted before for shredding the registration forms of Democrats in past elections.

    It was a company they hired....and they were PROMPTLY fired. And rightly so. I see no "there, there" in this story. Besides, I'm not sure this article relates to what you must be talking about. This is about 31 cases of absentee ballot fraud in New York and Florida.

    I think you've confused this issue with another one. HERE is what THIS particular non-partisan organization is all about and what they found:

    True The Vote initially began the process of identifying potential absentee voter fraud by accessing Florida’s complete voter registration roll and cross-referencing it against a 10 percent sample of New York’s comprehensive list. Preliminary audits indicated more than one million Florida voters claimed New York mailing addresses. Over 1,700 people were found with voter registrations in both states. More than 30 voters were turned over to state and federal election authorities, identified based on full name, birth date, reciprocal mailing addresses and voting history demonstrating ballots cast in both states during the same federal election cycle.

    True The Vote (TTV) a nonpartisan, nonprofit grassroots organization focused on preserving election integrity is operated by citizens for citizens, to inspire and equip volunteers for involvement at every stage of our electoral process. TTV empowers organizations and individuals across the nation to actively protect the rights of legitimate voters, regardless of their political party affiliation.

    I would think that EVERYONE, regardless of party, would disapprove of someone voting in two different states during the SAME federal election cycle. My question would be.....if it IS Democrats, or mostly Democrats, will the "federal" election officials simply disregard and not do anything about it?

    Yes, we should never let a little thing like individuals being prevented from voting or certain "news" sources lying about people stop a good old corporate bought nomination.

    I wouldn't expect anyone who gets their news from Fox "News" to know the details behind the story. It's obvious that the right-wing media omits many details associated with the "news" that they provide.

    The RNC knew that the guy behind this company was involved in sketchy election practices previously. They pushed him to form a new company and then hired it.

    So where's the House of Rep's investigation?

    The Republicans and their biased media sources are no more than a bunch of "party-first" partisan hypocrites and your media is lying to you.

    When it comes to voter fraud and showing an ID, it is always the leftwingers that are against it. There can be no other reason than they hoped to commit voter fraud and get away with it. All of those dead democrats in Chicago take a really bad picture!!!

    Here's the thing, showing an ID doesn't stop what little voter fraud there is.
    Showing ID to vote only stops Americans from.....voting.
    That is what the right needs, less voters.
