Employees Of Republican Voter Registration Firm Charged With Fraud
March 6th, 2013 4:00 pm Jason Sattler


Two employees of Strategic Allied Consulting, which was hired by the Florida Republican Party to register voters, have admitted to forging voter registration forms.

Strategic Allied Consulting is headed by Nathan Sproul — a notorious figure in Republican politics.

The former executive director of the Arizona Republican Party, Sproul ran voter registration drives on behalf of the RNC in 2004 in eight states, reportedly collecting over $8 million for his services. During that campaign, his firm was accused of having his employees destroy registration forms in Nevada and California along with other “hijinks,” including posing as a progressive organization and spearheading a drive to get Ralph Nader on the ballot. In Minnesota, Sproul’s company allegedly fired employees who brought back Democratic registrations.

The FDLE report says Rebekah Joy Paul turned in 20 fraudulent voter registration forms. Christian Davis Price submitted seven fakes.

Paul told investigators that Strategic Allied Consulting told her not to register Democrats — a charge the company’s lawyer Frederick Petti denies. Paul said she turned in the fake applications because without them, she wouldn’t get paid. She left the company to work at Waffle House.

Since President Obama was elected, Republicans have waged a war against voting rights based on the premise that Democrats through groups like ACORN – which Republicans are still trying to defund though it hasn’t existed for years — are committing voting fraud.

We’ll see if the GOP’s effort to fight voter fraud leads them to hiring Nathan Sproul’s companies yet again.
