Brad Friedman: You're unlikely to hear a peep about this on Fox "News" (unless they happen to have me on), but the California Secretary of State's Election Fraud Division is now reportedly investigating a firm hired by the Sacramento County Republican Party said to have submitted thousands of fraudulent voter registration forms.
According to a report today from Sacramento ABC affiliate News10 [see video posted below], a private, for-profit firm calling itself Momentum Political Services, hired by the local Republican Party "to boost GOP registration ranks in key battleground communities" has turned in more than 3,100 invalid voter registration cards during their recent drive.
Three takeaways from this strory: 1) This could be far worse than ACORN. ACORN got blasted out of existence because some of the people they were paying to register folks, because they were paid by the registration, signed up people that didn't exist. And ACORN self reported it. In this case the Republican organization itself seems to have orchestrated the fraud. 2) Since the corporate media took down ACORN for basically nothing, and have not covered this story at all, it's more proof the corporate media is in the bag for Republicans. 3) Forget about individual voter fraud, by their constant efforts to rob all manner of poor, elderly, and minority Americans of the right to vote, Republicans are engaging in election fraud. More than a few of them should be in prison for these crimes against democracy.
