It’s no accident that Republicans hired firm being investigated for voter fraud :

Cenk has been covering the issue of voter fraud all year, and we’ve shown one example after another about how rare it actually is. Except, it turns out, for a company hired by the Republican National Committee to work in seven swing states.

“It’s not like this is a one-time accident, like, oops, golly gee, we just happened to hire a guy who happened to do something wrong,” Cenk says. “No, they hire him to do something wrong.”

Karoli already broke down a good deal of this story for C&L here, much of which Cenk touched on in the segment above -- Stupid GOP Voter Registration Tricks Continue in Swing States.

Thankfully this story is making its way into the national news, as we saw with some of Michael Isikoff's reporting, which he discussed with Chuck Todd this Friday -- RNC Cuts Off Firm in Wake of Voter Registration Fraud Allegations.

And for anyone trying to follow this story, the most comprehensive reporting has been from Brad Friedman, who you can follow on Twitter here. And you can read all of his reporting at his blog here -- The Brad Blog.
