Attorney General Agrees To Investigate GOP-Linked Voter Registration Dumping Case
The Virginia Attorney General has finally agreed to investigate the case of the GOP operative who has been arrested for dumping completed voter registration forms in the trash. Ken Cuccinelli, who last week refused to investigate, claiming the state board of elections had to first make an official request, has now agreed after a unanimous vote this afternoon by the state board.
Colin Small (image, right), the man arrested for the dumping, has been charged with eight felonies and five misdemeanors, and has been directly linked to Nathan Sproul and his firms, which have long histories of voter fraud allegations, more than $2 million recently for work in key battleground states — 30 states in total — and the GOP has paid Sproul millions more throughout the years.
“Violations of election laws will not be tolerated in the commonwealth,” Cuccinelli said via a spokesperson, WTVR reports:
“Citizens must feel confident that one of our most precious rights-the right to vote-is protected and that the electoral process is a secure and democratic one.â€
Cuccinelli, who is now running for governor of Virginia, does have a history of taking on issues without prompting.
Cuccinelli, who is actively campaigning for Mitt Romney, rose to infamy after he worked to strip Virginia LGBT citizens and LGBT state workers of anti-discrimination protections, and worked to ensure invasive trans vaginal ultrasounds would be part of state anti-abortion laws and worked to ensure abortion clinics were as encumbered with as many regulations as he could find to put them out of business.
