A contractor for the Republican Party of Virginia was arrested on October 18, 2012 and accused of disposing of voter registration forms in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The integrity of our elections is paramount, and every Virginian should be assured that their vote counts. There are indications that this voter registration fraud may be more widespread. The firm which employed this contractor has worked for the Republican Party of Virginia in multiple localities, including Chesapeake City, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Loudoun County, and Virginia Beach City. Additionally, just last month the Republican Party of Virginia terminated its contract with Strategic Allied Consulting over allegations of voter registration fraud. However, news reports indicate the party continued to employ many of Strategic Allied's employees, one of who has now been arrested. Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has a long history of manipulating the law and his office for his own political gain. We can't trust him to impartially investigate the Republican Party of Virginia while simultaneously seeking their gubernatorial nomination. Our elections should be free, fair, and accessible. Virginians cannot be confident that every eligible voter who wishes may participate in our democracy without a thorough and transparent investigation into the extent of this fraud.

The Virginia State Board of Elections has decided not to request an investigation into the case of voter fraud involving a contractor for the Republican Party, Colin Small. This represents a systemic attempt to disenfranchise Virginia voters, of which I am one. The SBE is hand-picked by Governor Bob McDonnell, and two of its three executive members are Republicans. I also understand that our Attorney General is also a Republican. I can see how this story would be inconvenient for these individuals and their party so close to the presidential election, considering the hypocrisy of the Republican party complaining so loudly about voter fraud up until this point, and then refusing to investigate it when it happens on their side. However, I believe that as a government agency, it is grossly irresponsible of the SBE to refuse to Investigate such a serious offense. The SBE is supposed to be a resource for Virginia voters that can be relied on to protect the sanctity of voting rights. Unfortunately, it is being used to do just the opposite of that. Once again, I am embarrassed by the partisan politics that have come to define our state, and I hope that some kind of reconciliation can be achieved by the pursuit of justice for the voting people of Virginia.

It is the fundamental right of all U.S. citizens to vote in an election. Discarding voter registrations unlawfully takes that right away from citizens who have the right to vote. It should not only be investigated, but harshly punished. It is your duty to investigate every occurrence of situations such as this.

Yesterday it was reported that Virginia's Republican Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, won't investigate a Republican campaign operative found discarding voter registration forms, because "he only looks into election issues after a request from the State Board of Elections." Folks in Virginia are upset that this clear instance of fraud is being swept under the rug. This petition is asking the Virginia State Board of Elections to request an investigation into the discarded voter registration forms.

When I was growing up Election Day was a National Holiday. I think Election Day should once again be put in the spotlight as the important day it is for freedom and democracy. Stop and take time to think and vote! So many Americans have lost sight exercising this critical responsibility.

Government presuming to to tell people when to pray is damaging to religious liberty.

The Republican Party is trying to steal the election. We need to do something about this immediately. We should get together and demonstrate against the deceit and tyranny of those trying to block the vote for Obama. We cannot wait for election day to do something about this because it will be too late. This is the most important issue because it goes to the very heart of our democracy. We could lose it if we don't make sure we have a fair election.

Convert fair-weather Democratic voters to reliable voters by getting them to sign up for absentee ballots. How? Assign volunteers to work Democratic polls and early voting sites with absentee ballot request forms. Have voters fill in name, address and date of birth or voter ID number and sign. The volunteers can submit requests to local supervisor of elections. Long term solution, It's far more efficient than canvassing because it targets actual voters -- not likely voters.

Reading about Tagg Romney's ownership in electronic voting machines in several states is appalling. His father is a presidential candidate, and both have connections with Bain. This constitutes voter fraud. Trying to rig election results in one's favor smacks of treason!

I am disgusted with the document sent to Maricopa County residents in the state of Arizona with their voter registration cards listing the wrong date for the presidential election. Similar tactics were used by the Republicans in the 2008 election in an attempt to steal the election and are a disgrace to the United States government and democracy.

According to an article on PoliticolNews.com, Mitt Romney's son, Tagg, has close financial ties to Hart InterCivic, the company that owns electronic voting machines that will be used in Ohio for this election. The article also alleges that these machines are easily hacked. Not to mention, it's an obvious conflict of interest. Please sign this petition to get the Department of Justice to initiate an investigation into this issue before Election Day on November 6, 2012.

A 30-minute video has been posted on FaceBook showing Romney telling CEOs to instruct employees to vote for Romney or be fired. An anti-Romney group posted this to make us aware of how low Romney is willing to stoop to win on Nov 6.
