We have learned more about the investigation in to alleged voter fraud by a firm paid millions of dollars to register Republican voters in Florida. This is the firm that listed a Land Rover dealership as the address for one of the voters is claimed to have registered.
NBC News has learned:
Florida state officials have directed a statewide criminal investigation into a Republican consulting firm whose employees have been linked to "hundreds" of suspect voter registration forms in eight countries throughout the state, NBC News has learned. Chris Cate, a spokesman for the Florida secretary of state's office, said that state election officials are turning reports of registration irregularities over to the Florida State Department of Law Enforcement for a statewide inquiry to determine if there was a pattern of misconduct by the firm, Strategic Allied Consulting. He described it as a potential case of "election fraud" probe. Cate confirmed that the secretary of state's office, which oversees the division of elections, has received a complaint against Strategic Allied Consulting from the Florida Republican Party. Nathan Sproul, the managing partner of the firm, denied that his firm committed any fraud, saying he was the victim of "a few bad apples" who had been hired to register Mitt Romney supporters for $12 an hour.
In last night's show, Joy Reid gave us some background on Sproul's previous exploits.

WOW WOW WOW so sad so sad.
The other day Mitt said, he knew something about poles; gave sugar honey ice tea laugh; he stated also the devil is in the deed. The Repubs they do not care how he gets to the White House just get there by any means necessary. The far right of the Repus will cause the demise of the party as we know all because of their ideology.
Did it ever occur to you, fool, that the State of Florida officials that called for and are conducting the criminal investigation into what looks to be a rogue paid consulting firm are, indeed, Republican officials themselves, from the Governor and Sectretary of State on down to the State AG's office?
Seems to me this was the same excuese that the Obama deep connected Community Organization firm ACORN used in 2008...a few bad on the pasyroll "apples" that were taking the lazy route of making up voters names and addresses they were registering in large numbers nationwide. At least in this case, once the Republican officials in Florida found out about the discrepancies, they cut their ties and support of this firms voter registration efforts.
However, nationally we still have THE VOTER REGISTRATION INITIATIVE, a group formed and controlled by former Democrat Party officials and paid consultants that have been mounting a fraudulent voter registration drive by mailing registration forms out to suspected and suspicious recipients (over 2,000,000 nation wide at last count) that once received by state voting authorities are found to have gone out and been returned from under 18 in age individuals, immigrant non citizens both legal and illegal, felons, and even the dead and sometimes the occasional pet animal. Louisiana official were quoted as having received so many back that it was burdening the legitimate process of registering real voters, and that over 90% of what was being returned from this organization were reject-able as not legal voters.
Sounds like a really big pot calling a little kettle black to me, here!
No such animal per your description...so everything you wrote after that was just another in a very long string of Keith Longey lies.
Of course, you could prove me wrong by simply citing an unbiased verifiable source that would back up what you said, but I doubt you have one.
C'mon, Keith...man up for once. You might even enjoy the feeling.
But here's a little story you might like to read about felons voting...and well, golly gee would you look at that...it happened in New Haven, CT of all places...your state. My, my...seems you don't really know so much about this voting thing after all, do you?

Watch the video at the following link...it's from a Fox affiliate in Colorado. It should make you think twice before you start mouthing off about voter fraud again.

You must be that really big pot here, eh?
The Republican Party paid this company to register likely republican voters. The more they register the more they are paid. The lowly company employees who do the grunt work turn in voter registration forms. The more they turn in the more money they earn. They don't get paid for accuracy they get paid for quantity. This compensation system of course will lead to fraud.
Same thing happened in CA back about '08. A firm hired by the CA Republican party was found to have fraudulently registered voters as "R" or changed their listed party status to "R" in '08 and the head of the company who did it was arrested...a Mark Jacoby by name.
Earlier this year, the R's got in hot water again in CA after a company they hired was being investigated for turning in fraudulent registration forms (again on a pay-for-form basis), and of course, the R's claimed they didn't know anything about it and fired the company.
That's much like claiming that you didn't know there was a cookie jar in the kitchen while you're standing there denying it with your mouth stuffed full of cookies.
It's a hypocritical position for R's to claim "voter fraud" in the midwest when even the Ohio R's, in their court papers, said they couldn't find any evidence of fraud. Seems that the vast majority of those the FL governor has wanted kicked off the voter rolls in his state are actually bona-fide legitimate voters.

There is voter fraud and then there is voter fraud. I checked and a few have been prosecuted for registering their dogs or under aged children to vote. I'm not overly concerned about that - using bogus names to puff out your party rolls might have some secondary advantage - but it would not lead to an illegal vote being cast. (Of course if the dog had the proper photo ID, I guess they would let him in.)
Actual double voting or voting under a dead relative's name has happened but the actual probability starts with a period followed by about 7 zeros (if you use votes cast as the denominator.)
Well, we might just as well let the dogs vote, as the country is surely going to the dogs under this President and the Democrat Party controlling the US Senate, Adam. So I agree with you, if they have the proper legally authoried photo ID and are not sheep in wolves clothing, then led them vote! LOL!
As to the voting of the dead, well, in 1960 the cemetaries were raided to get enought voters country by county in Texas to give that state's electoral votes to the Kennedy/Johnson ticket in one of our closest Presidential elections of all time!
As to thise who question the voter registration forms mailed out by the National Democrat Party officials and consultants organization doing that nation wide, that are accompanied by letterhead stationary that states THE VOTER REGISTRATION INITIATIVE in bold letters, you haven't been watching the right news networks. Try CNN and Fox News that have featured that story, and interviewed those like the State of Louisiana Secretary of State that has found 90% of the registration forms returned were ineligible voters. Although as a few pet names also showed up there, perhaps whether or not they should be dismissed as inelibible or not is now up for grabs, as Adam Selene suggests....I mean as long as thay cna get by the gauntlet formed around polling places by the new Voter Photo ID laws, of course!
Fake news? Are you seriously that naive?? The 'News' station that studies have show to have the most misinformed viewers in the country? Oh thats right, you're a teabagger. That explains it.
I researched that very thing and two very powerful search engines don't list that at all...and that's how I know you're lying about it, Keith.
Hmmm...yet once again, Keith can't post any corroborating sources to support his mindless musings. Do I sound surprised?
Nawwwww...he never does.
Exactly, Here Is One View! Kudos!
The fraud is in the Massachusetts colony archives-also in connection to the San Bernardino,Ca Colonies corruption probe,the county accessor was using fraud and infiltrated UN Classifications when we were locking up Saddam's weapons(by the way ,it was my top secret classification for challenger parts -the peace dove-7 astronauts died and another 14 after that,and my fiancee,his dad pres. of Redlands and Palm Springs country club)-they just recently stole my UN Vehicle (in Redlands,ca)along with undercover IDs,licenses,diplomas and evidence and took it directly to an Iranian terrorist in town -I expect cybur warfare in D.O.T.Wright commercial vehicles(in particular -gas rigs) and also in Harley Davidson-they are a bunch of corrupt,treasonous thieves-ICC has already downloaded the Black Box evidence from my UN Van-however they have sooo much of my ID (Wright Brothers relative)one thing is for sure Fienstien and Romney are involved ,and as I have said ICC already has some evidence-some day they are going to be in jail and can't bother my family anymore,none of us care how much they wish they had good blood from an old trusted family.
Is this fellow one of your crowd, Eye's Wide Shut, SedWHINERS, and Cab Driver? He certainy comes across as a soul brother, doesn't he! LOL!
No, actually I thought his post was a bit out in right field too...much like so many of yours, soprano-boy.
It's a good thing you aren't penalized for inane comments, Keith...you'd never get out of the penalty box.
Why don't we start sending these people to prison? Maybe a year for each fradulant document submitted would be enough of a dis-incentive.
Something a little more of a penalty, than a fine which is less than the money they got away with for doing that. But if we started doing that, imagine what we would have to do on Wall Street? That would never work!
