Strategist lures voters to the Republican Party
By Dennis Welch, Tribune
September 7, 2006

Political operative Nathan Sproul has made millions of dollars doing one thing: Building a bigger Republican Party.

Supporters use terms like “political genius” to describe him. Opponents often question his tactics and have accused him of using unethical and illegal methods.

The Arizona Republican Party has paid Sproul and his company $325,000 this year to bolster its ranks. The theory is simple: Get more voters to register with the party and increase its edge over Democrats.

And it appears Sproul has effectively done that. Matt Salmon, chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, recently said Sproul’s firm has signed up more than 22,000 new Republicans. The number could continue to climb as the financial incentives increase. Currently the GOP is offering $10 for every new voter who registers with the party.

Sproul!

1. And each signature should under go a test for fraud. It seems

that in the state of California, some have been found to be fraudulent.

2. Remember this?

An ostensibly nonpartisan voter registration drive in Western Pennsylvania has triggered accusations that workers were cheated out of wages and given instructions to avoid adding anyone to the voter rolls who might support the Democratic presidential nominee.

Sproul's role in voter registration drives this month triggered official investigations in several other states, with canvassers alleging they had been told to discard Democratic registration forms, leaving voters who thought they had registered off the rolls.

3. So they pitched Democratic registrations, leaving the people to

believe they had been registered.

This is STEALING votes, isn't it?

Had no idea Sproul's poisonous influence reaches all the way to the East Coast. He must be everywhere by now. He should be in the slammer.

Thanks for the information.

5. I don't know about Arizona ...

but in Texas, if I take a voter registration card, I am required by state law to turn it in within in a certain number of days. If I discard them or am late-I lose the privilege of being a registrar.

7. I see prison in Sproul's future

and it will be a well deserved stay.

8. Seems like Sproul would be able to buy a chin with all of that $$$

[badgervan]

13. Ha...

I noticed the lack of chin also. Besides their souls, maybe repubs have to give up another body part when they sell out to the devil.

9. They have to pay people to join their party, but they are supposedly

the party of ideas. I don't know whether to :eyes: or :rofl:.

10. Republican - Criminal - not too redundant eh?

Republicans really seem to be criminals more often than not.

[Straight Shooter]

11. Crooked as a dog's hind leg. He went to the White House Christmas party.

I remember reading about him being at the 2004 party. I'm sure Rove offered a toast to a fellow election fraudster.

12. I have a better photo of Sproul right here...
