GOP dumps registration firm after reports of fraudReuters MIAMI -- Election officials in Florida were scouring their records for fraudulent voter registration forms on Friday after the Republican Party said it had fired a company hired to gather new voters because of reports its employees may have submitted bogus forms.
September 30, 2012, 12:05 am TWN The Palm Beach County elections office first reported finding 106 potentially fraudulent registration forms earlier this week that had been submitted by Strategic Allied Consulting (SAC), a Virginia firm hired by Florida's Republican Party. Since then scores more suspicious forms have been detected in at least five other Florida counties where election officials say SAC worked to register voters. Federal Election Commission reports from the state Republican Party show it paid SAC more than US$1.3 million this summer for voter registration services.
