North Carolina GOP fires voter registration firm

The North Carolina Republican Party has terminated its business relationship with Strategic Allied Consulting, a business they contracted to assist the GOP with voter registration for the November 6 election. The firm was let go after allegations surfaced that suspicious registration forms were being submitted in Florida, another state in which the Republican Party had hired Strategic Allied Consulting. Florida's situation can can serve as a wake up call for the other states who employed this firm, and North Carolina is taking this warning very seriously. The state records are being reviewed, with hopes that any errors that are present can be found and corrected before the election.

Strategic Allied Consulting was selected to lead the voter registration process on word from the Republican National Party, who had dealt with them in the past. The reviews for the company prior to this incident had been positive, but the Republicans are taking no chances. Says  Rob Lockwood, the communications director for the North Carolina GOP, “We take any threat to the voting process very seriously.”
