Voter Fraud? What Voter Fraud?

       Republican elected state legislatures around the country have been enacting Voter ID laws to stem the growth of voter fraud. But when put to the question, nobody has been able to show more than one or two cases of actual voter fraud in history. In fact, in Pennsylvania, the leader of that state's legislature stated the purpose was to allow Romney to win the election. Now comes news of a Republican related firm specializing in voter registration, holding contracts with more than a dozen state Republican parties and the national Republican committee. The news is not good news for the Republican party.
       Strategic Allied Consulting owned by Nathan Sproul, stands accused by a number of states of registering dead people and falsifying voter registrations plus destroying and or discarding voter registrations, among other charges. Mr Sproul is a long time activist in the Party and is former head of the Arizona Republican party.
       It would appear that the only fraud taking place in America, pertaining to voting, has to do with one company attempting to defraud states of fair elections. By the way, that also means that the company is attempting to defrauding the American people of a fair election.
       Has anyone heard where any state has begun to pass any laws about such practices? It looks like a number of states intend to be very strict about stopping a non-existent form of voter fraud, but had hired a company to approach the fraud issue from a different perspective.
       Now, I'm quite sure that the states in question didn't hire Mr. Sproul for the express purpose of fixing any elections, but it does seem strange that those states worry about a non-issue more than they do about real live crime. To be fair, Florida and Virginia have charges pending while Colorado and Nevada are investigating allegations of wrong doing.
       So a word to the wise poll workers; if Abe Lincoln or George Washington show up at your polling place, you might want to check their registration carefully. And if Benedict Arnold shows up or Charles Manson, you might want to make a 911 call.
