In their defense, checking Colin Small's ID, is certainly aiding in his prosecution and, had it been done earlier, may have dissuaded him from this illegal act.
@2 - When the Republicans complain about voter fraud, they often cite ACORN and other groups. The few specific instances they cite are also voter registration fraud. But that's not how they label it. They label it "voter fraud." So Paul is just using the terms the GOP uses.
@7 - he was a supervisor for a firm that regularly contracts with the Republican Party, and in this case was contracted with the GOP in VA.
Not every one of the scumbags doing this are as dumb as this one. Most of them have shredders.
As much as I love the idea of volunteers going out to register new voters, this is the downside. Any dipshit with a clipboard can go out and defraud people of their right to vote.
The very best type of volunteer-run registration program would be to give or to help people fill out the registration forms, then give them a stamp and an envelope and point them to the mailbox.
Voter fraud is voter fraud is voter registration fraud OR in-person voter fraud OR any other kind of fraud that results in people not voting who should or people voting who shouldn't. Obviously, the best way to cut down on voter fraud is to not let Republicans participate in the voting process.
This is voter *registration* fraud and is somewhat more common.

If a party falsly accuses someone else of doing it, they should also be barred from the state.
Either you play fair, or you don't get to play at all. Period.
