From Sam Stein at Huff Po

John McCain’s campaign has directed $175,000 to the firm of a Republican operative accused of massive voter registration fraud in several states.

According to campaign finance records, a joint committee of the McCain-Palin campaign, the RNC and the the California Republican Party, made a $175,000 payment to the group Lincoln Strategy in June for purposes of “registering voters.” The managing partner of that firm is Nathan Sproul, a renowned GOP operative who has been investigated on multiple occasions for suppressing Democratic voter turnout, throwing away registration forms and even spearheading efforts to get Ralph Nader on ballots to hinder the Democratic ticket.

In a letter to the Justice Department last October, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers said that that Sproul’s alleged activities “clearly suppress votes and violate the law.”

Something about the Qahtani process designed by Principals meetings has a feeling of being something Powell would eschew summarily. I would even wonder how he interprets the Armitage phalanx’s support of the 2×4x6. Those two facets of his work as secretary of state seemed likely explanations of his decision to depart the administration. He had refused to state his party of affiliation very early before his recruitment.</p> With Powell’s endorsement yesterday, I would imagine Repulbicans less than ebulliently getting exercised Brooks Brothers manner, concering how necessary a precise count of stationed military’s votes will be this election.
