DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement in response to the RNC’s continued relationship with Strategic Allied Consulting.

Yesterday, Republican Party field director Colin Small was arrested in Virginia on charges of committing voter registration fraud. Small, who was part of a broader swing-state operation financed by the RNC, was first hired by Strategic Allied Consulting – a firm run by GOP consultant Nathan Sproul, who has a lengthy history of being accused of voter registration fraud and whose activities on behalf of the RNC in Florida this cycle are the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation.

Thanks to GOP Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan, we’ve been reminded once again that details matter. Details like, “Are the pots and pans I am scrubbing already clean?” or “Does anyone actually want me to be here right now?”

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement on tonight’s presidential debate in Denver, Colorado:

“Throughout this election, voters have been offered the clearest choice they’ve seen in a generation—and tonight, the contrast could not have possibly been any greater. During tonight’s debate, President Obama laid out his vision for continuing to move America forward with an economy that grows from the middle out, not the top down. We didn’t see the same specifics from Mitt Romney, and there’s one simple reason for that: if the American people knew the details on how Romney would accomplish his plans and policies, they’d go running in the other direction.

“At no point tonight did Mitt Romney say how the math adds up on his $5 trillion tax cut favoring the wealthiest few and paid for on the backs of the middle class. He wants to repeal Obamacare but refused to provide a single idea to protect hardworking families from the worst abuses of big insurance companies, and his promise to do away with Wall Street reform was not accompanied by even one new rule he’d put in place to keep America’s consumers protected. Tonight, Mitt Romney made a full-fledged commitment to double down on the same failed policies that crashed the economy and brought the middle class to its knees—and that’s the very last thing the American people can afford.”

Please see below the instant reaction to the latest lame Drudge/Hannity desperation tactics.

Yesterday, NBC reported that the Republican National Committee and state Republican parties hired Strategic Allied Consulting, a firm run by GOP consultant Nathan Sproul, to register voters in the key battleground states of Florida, North Carolina, Colorado, Nevada, and Virginia. That firm is now under investigation by the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office on suspicions of voter registration fraud.
