Republican Arrested for Voter Registration Fraud

Well, well...with all the Republican posturing and wheezing about how Democrats in general, and ACORN specifically, are engaged in voter registration fraud, how rich is it that officials in Ontario, CA have arrested a Republican and charged him with...attempted voter registration fraud.

In case you're keeping score here, that's Republican Voter Registration Fraud 1, Democrat Voter Registration Fraud 0.

Seems that the owner of a firm hired by the GOP to register tens of thousands of voters as Republicans fraudulently registered himself to vote at a childhood California address where he no longer lives so he would appear to meet the legal requirement that signature gatherers be eligible to vote in California.

This is completely separate from other allegations that have been lodged against his firm, including scores of people who have accused the firm of switching their registration from Independent or Democrat to Republican by tricking them by saying they were signing a petition to toughen penalties against child molesters. The firm was paid $7 to $12 for every Californian it registered as a member of the GOP.

Where's the Republican outrage at this?
