We’ve been hearing a lot about voter fraud from the Republicans, but it is little noted nor long remembered that what few examples we have of the practice have been committed by Republican operatives. In person voter fraud is almost unknown, except when committed by little Republican criminals trying to prove it could be done. Now we learn that the Florida Republican Party, which has been intent on suppressing the vote in the name of suppressing non-existent fraud, has been engaged in fraud of its own. Who would have thunk?
TALLAHASSEE — A vendor fired by the Republican Party of Florida for submitting questionable voter registrations forms in Palm Beach County is also responsible for filing potentially hundreds of flawed applications in at least eight other counties, including Miami-Dade, election officials confirmed Friday.
Virginia-based Strategic Allied Consulting fell out of favor with Florida Republicans after Palm Beach County flagged 106 registration forms that had signature irregularities or incorrect information for voters already on file, such as new dates of birth and faulty Social Security numbers. Some of the forms in question attempted to change a voter’s address but violated state law by using business locations, such as the Port Everglades administration office, a gas station and a Land Rover dealership.
After problems in Palm Beach County emerged, Florida counties from Miami to the Panhandle reported similar irregularities with voter registration forms that all tracked back to the Republican Party of Florida.

Don’t for a moment think this firm did anything it was not supposed to do, except for one thing. It was not supposed to get caught.
