Va. GOP worker destroyed voter registration forms?
Colin Small
Meet Colin Small. He’s a Pennsylvanian who until recently was working for Virginia Republicans in the Harrisonburg area. He’s been arrested for allegedly destroying voter registration application forms.
From Talking Points Memo:
Colin Small, a 31-year-old resident of Phoenixville, Pa., worked for Pinpoint, a company hired to register voters on behalf of the Republican Party of Virginia. Prosecutors charged him with four counts of destruction of voter registration applications, eight counts of failing to disclose voter registration applications and one count of obstruction of justice.
Wow. That’s a lot of crimes. Small was allegedly spotted disposing of completed voter registration forms in a dumpster behind a Harrisonburg store. Presumably, he was not ditching applications from anybody he expected would vote for Romney or other Republicans.
Keep in mind the GOP is the party that has been crying wolf for at least two years about nonexistent “voter fraud,” and, as a “solution” pushing voter ID laws that will tend to suppress the votes of college students, minorities and the elderly.
Not coincidentally, those were all big constituencies for Barack Obama in the 2008 campaign.
Their chutzpah and hypocrisy on this issue is extraordinary.

And I’m sure this is a complete coincidence as well:

Guy looks liks a skinhead.
Rasmussen Election 2012: Virginia President
Virginia: Romney 50%, Obama 47%
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2012/election_2012_presidential_election/virginia/election_2012_virginia_president
That lead looks small compared to Gallup.
It makes you wonder how many of these registration forms got thrown out state wide, doesn’t it?
WWSS? (What Would/Will Suzie Say?):
“Well it’s 0bvious that Mr. Small is a d0uble-agent for the Dem0crat Party and w0rks for 0bama. He infiltrated Pinp0int, then he made sure he g0t caught.”
Oh yeah, they are all about safe and fair elections! Total hypocrites.
I just read where Romney is beating Obama in Florida…51 to 46.
OUCH.
The plot thickens?
This appears to be Mr. Small’s LinkedIn page:

Hmmm…
“Grassroots Field Director, Republican National Committee, August 2012–Present”
“Congressional Intern, U.S. House of Representatives, September 2011–December 2011, The Hon. Mike Kelly”
It also says that he was associated with the Boy Scouts. Well, I guess he threw the Boy Scout Oath and Law out the window some time ago.
Wow. Some serious assuming going on in this thread.

Five Thirty Eight Forecast
Updated 11:38PM ET on October 18
President Nov 6 Forecast
Barack Obama – 291.6 [Electoral Votes]
Mitt Romney – 264.4 [Electoral Votes]
http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/author/nate-silver/
To win you must have = 270 electoral votes.
And speaking of the typical republican lie – cheat – steal methods to win elections, this:
Will Bain-Linked E-Voting Machines Give Romney the White House?
“Electronic voting machines owned by Mitt Romney’s business buddies and set to count the votes in Cincinnati could decide the 2012 election.”
[...]
“This November, much of the Ohio electorate will cast its ballots on machines again owned by close cronies of the Republican presidential candidate. In Cincinnati and elsewhere around the state, the e-voting apparati are owned by Hart Intercivic. Hart’s machines are infamous for mechanical failures, “glitches,” counting errors and other timely problems now thoroughly identified with the way Republicans steal elections. ”

And another RW meme bites the dust:
Unemployment Falls In 41 States in September
“10:53AM EDT October 19. 2012 – Unemployment rates fell in 41 states and the District of Columbia last month, reflecting a sharp drop in the nation’s jobless rate just weeks before the presidential election.”

Donut Miser
The Linkedin page also menttions that Mr. Small was active in “Get Out the Vote Campaigns”. I guess he could add “Suppress the (Democratic) Vote Campaigns”.
Shrillary,
Granted on the 538 forecast. Problem: Obama forecast number of electoral votes has been shrinking steadily — and Romeny’s has been gaining — since Oct. 5. Two more weeks at the same rate and Romney will overtake him.
Lots of people, not enamoured with the current president and last 4 hard years, have been dropping out of the workforce, Shrillary. So?
@old blue #13- I saw that too, “Get Out the Vote…”. It’s a bit of an oxymoron in relation to Mr. Small…and let me emphasize the “moron” part as well.
Here the only one that matters… or so I have been told here many times.

No Bounce, No Play…
Dan – First I have faith the American people will not elect Romney. I have no faith that the republicans will not try to steal the election. And, I think that since the first debate the President has made up most of what was “lost” – and he is trending in the right direction, even without the impact of the last debate which he did well in.

Obama Gains in Forecast on Resiliency in Swing State Polls
By NATE SILVER
Of the 13 polls of swing states released on Thursday, President Obama held leads in 11 of them, and his chances of winning the Electoral College improved to 70.4 percent, according to the forecast.
http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/author/nate-silver/
Well, i have not taken any measures to halt the Robo calling, and I have an observation. Either the Democrats don’t leave messages when they call, or (more likely), the Republicans (and their surrogate Super PACs) are spending a lot more on Robo calls than the Democrats.
The plot does thicken…more “major” media outlets pick up the story:

no different than dead people voting for obama and thugs threatening voters at the polls, get over it or deal with your own stupid people
shrillary, please get a grip…the figures being reported are only the people looking for work. Since so many are getting bammy food stamps, free phones, free phone time, free money, why would they even look for work, your typical obama voter…those figures arent real dearie, read for a change will you please and learn something of value and truth..oh thats right, your a libbie com,not interested in anything beyond your own small mind
And, BTW, Donut Miser, being associated with the Boy Scouts is not necessarily a good thing right now. Me, I was just a Cub Scout. Never made it to Boy Scout.
Romney pulled resources out of North Carolina today. Early voting started there today with long lines at the precincts which are thought to be prdominately democratic. That enthusiasm gap we keep hearing about appears to be a myth.
Re: Comment by Dan Casey — October 19, 2012 @ 2:13 pm
Hence, why I have constantly refused to take bets from the get-go.
We are still outside the radish rule much less the fruit-fly rule.
WWIIW, I’ll still pass on a bet on election eve. Don’t trust polls. Enjoy them. Like to analyze their methodology. But still don’t trust them.
nice try dave,
But Romney pulled out of NC because he’s confident of victory there.
pamadoodle – were you directing a comment to me, because, seriously “dearie” I neither “hear” nor “see” you…
Dan
Here’s the skinny on the Romney North CVarolina strategy. Dems there have registered over 100000 new foters this year.

But, Donut Miser, the story just can’t be true, ’cause I can’t find it anywhere on foxnews.com!
Wow! Obama has the power to get dead people to vote for him. That’s pretty cool! I think I’ll vote for him too.
LOL!

Wisconsin Strip Club Courts Unregistered Voters
By Warren Rojas Posted at 6:01 p.m. today
SNIP
This marks the second election in a row that Diamond Jim’s Isabella Queen has done its part to stir up civic involvement.
The popular Janesville, Wis., strip joint—fans praised it on an adult entertainment forum for being “very clean,” maintaining a “laid back atmosphere” and presenting “the most attractive women” — reportedly snared more than 200 politically inactive patrons ahead of the 2008 presidential contest.

Do you right wingers have your own echo chamber and think that means a crowd? pammala communicates like Karl Childers with insults, lies and vile attacks and then speaks of someone else having a “small mind”. Incredible
Karl Childers! “Dem figgers ain’t real, umm hmm.”
#21 Wow, pammalamdingdong is on an extremely long streak of regurgitating proven lies. How 7-Eleven of you.
I don’t know why anyone bothers reading pammala’s mangled nonsense.
Why does the title to this say “destroyed”? Can you at least try and tell the truth in the title? Lie and distort all you want in the body but at least have the moral fortitude to begin with the truth. Please.
Sven…
Destroyed seems to me to be pretty much on point.
Throwing them in the dumpster seems to me shows
his intent to destroy those forms.
Unless its your take he meant to use that dumpster
for a kind of plain clothes safe.
