VA: GOP Chair Calls for Statewide Voter Fraud Investigation

From dailypress.com:

Republican Party Chairman Jeff Frederick said Monday that incidents in Hampton and Richmond led the party to fear “coordinated and widespread” statewide voter registration fraud.

Frederick called on Gov. Timothy M. Kaine and Attorney General Bob McDonnell to launch a statewide investigation, citing last week’s arrest of three canvassers in Hampton as evidence that people who were not eligible to vote were being signed up by a national nonprofit organization, the Community Voters Project.

Spokesmen for Kaine, a Democrat, and McDonnell, a Republican, said the matter was appropriately in the hands of the Hampton’s commonwealth’s attorney.

Frederick said there had been 18 “incidents” of voter fraud in Richmond, although he provided specifics about just one case, in which a Richmond resident said she received a call from the city registrar asking if she had submitted a new voter registration card with a new address.

“We don’t know where else it’s happening,” Frederick said. “That’s why we need an investigation. We need to make sure the integrity of our process is maintained.”
