Fraudulent, Shredded Voter Registrations In 2004 Linked To Same Shadowy Republican National Committee Operative Now Doing Questionable Voter Registrations in Tennessee
Last week the Brad Blog ran an item on fraudulent Voter Registration Forms submitted by a group reportedly tied to the Republican National Committee down in Tennessee where there’s a tight U.S. Senate race in play to replace the outgoing Bill Frist.

More information on those dirty tricks, and the ties to long-time Arizona-based Republican operative, Nathan Sproul & Associates, are now being reported by AP.

Sproul & Associates, and their various shadowy front groups, were linked to the shredding of Democratic Voter Registration Forms in Nevada, West Virginia, Oregon and elsewhere in 2004 as reported by Max Blumenthal in October of 2004 and again recently in Bobby Kennedy’s Rolling Stone exposé asking “Was The 2004 Election Stolen?” More details about Sproul and the millions of dollars he seems to have received from Team Bush ’04, and their attempts to hide those costs, were reported by Mark Crispin Miller in June of 2005.

Sproul & Associates were given buckets of unreported Republican National Committee cash before, during and after the 2004 election. For some reason or another. Sproul is also reported to be an organizer for the Christian Coalition. Natch.

AP is reporting the Republican National Committee hired a group down in Tennessee calling themselves Liberty Consultants to register (Republican) voters. Even if they had to make them up to do so. And whaddaya know? Liberty Consultants are funded by our old friend Nathan Sproul.

Liberty Consultants is responsible for 12 registration forms in Davidson and Williamson counties that included the names, addresses and phone numbers of real people, but had incorrect personal information such as Social Security numbers, signatures and birth dates, election officials said.

The group, funded by Arizona Republican and Christian Coalition operative Nathan Sproul, was banned from Wal-Mart stores in Tennessee in August for failing to meet the retailer’s standards of nonpartisanship
