Republican Voter Registration Chief Arrested for Fraud in California

The head of a voter registration group hired by the California Republican Party was arrested over the weekend for allegedly lying about his address in the state in order to vote illegally, the office of California's secretary of state announced Sunday.

Mark Anthony Jacoby, the owner of a signature-gathering firm called Young Political Majors, was taken into custody by Ontario police just after midnight Saturday and booked with a felony punishable by up to three years in prison.

Jacoby allegedly registered himself at his childhood home in Los Angeles, even though he no longer lives there. It is voter fraud to register if ineligible and perjury to provide false information on a voter registration card. Jacoby was charged with two counts of each relating to his 2006 and 2007 registration.

"Voter registration fraud is a serious issue, which is why I vigorously investigate all allegations of elections fraud," said Bowen, California's chief elections officer. "Where there's a case to be made, I will forward it to law enforcement for criminal prosecution."

It also claims Bowen, a recipient of donations from the embattled ACORN voter registration group, is trying to "achieve maximum political benefit and deflect attention from the Democratic presidential nominee's high-profiled problems and associations with the radical community activist group ACORN.

Okay--LA is in LA County.  Ontario is in San Bernardino County.  ONE COUNTY OVER.

But this is SO much worse than people coming from NY and voting in Ohio multiple times, registering 72 times, etc., etc., etc.

This is just a story the MSM dredged up to try to get some "balance", when in fact it's anything but.

One guy committing fraud is the equal to a whole organization doing the same?

According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

The only reason most Republican people in California call themselves Republicans is for fiscal reasons.  Socially, they are almost all Democrats.
