Another Republican Busted for Election Fraud

Voter fraud is not a problem.  Even the highly biased Bush Regime could find virtually no evidence of it, despite an exhaustive five year investigation determined to document voter fraud.  Nevertheless, Republicans still use it as a dishonest excuse and do everything else they can to keep legitimate Democratic voters from the polls.  On the other hand, evidence of election fraud abounds, because it has become Republican standard operating procedure.

Pennsylvania resident Colin Small was arrested Thursday after he was caught illegally destroying voter registration forms in Virginia. Smalls worked for a firm hired by the Republican Party of Virginia to register voters, but was spotted throwing away 8 voter registration forms in a dumpster on Monday, the deadline for registering to vote in Virginia.

The 31-year-old man was charged with four counts of destruction of voter registration applications, eight counts of failing to disclose voter registration applications and one count of obstruction of justice. Small was spotted by the owner of a store in Harrisonburg, Virginia, who became suspicious when he saw Small’s Pennsylvania license plate.

The Los Angeles Times has the details of the discarded forms:

Three of the voters turned out to be already registered, according to Donald Palmer, secretary of the Virginia State Board of Elections. The other five were not registered, and have since been added to the voter roll. Registration closed on Monday.

In Virginia, and other states, it’s a crime to accept a voter registration form and not turn it in. Small is charged with destroying voter registration applications and obstruction of justice… [emphasis original]

I can’t help but wonder how many other Democratic registrations have been been destroyed by Republican criminals.  No doubt, some would be voters will show up at the polls and be denied their right to vote, because they were not registered due to the destruction of their registration forms by the Republican Party.  This is far more extensive and widespread than meets the eye here.

…But there is more to the story, as evidence emerges to document that it ties in to a still-expanding nationwide GOP Voter Registration Fraud Scandal that The BRAD BLOG first began reporting in late September, after we’d learned that the Republican Party of Florida had turned in more than 100 allegedly fraudulent and otherwise suspect voter registration forms in Palm Beach County. The story has continued to widen ever since, to a dozen Florida counties and several other states, now including Virginia, and even to the upper-echelons of the Republican Party itself.

The man arrested today was 23-year old Colin Small of Phoenixville, PA. As it turns out, he does not only work for the VA Republican Party. According to an online profile, he appears to be working for the Republican National Committee and, prior to that, served as an Intern for Congressman Mike Kelly (R-PA) in the U.S. House of Representatives… [emphasis added]

Can there be any doubt that the Republican voter fraud scandal is not the work of just a few bad apples, but is the intent of the Republican Party to steal this election?
