The Republican National Committee has reportedly ended its bid to register new voters in key states ahead of the November election after a company hired to run its registration effort was accused of systematic voter fraud. Election officials in at least nine Florida counties have reported questionable voter registration forms submitted by the right-wing firm Strategic Allied Consulting. The Republican National Committee has canceled its contract with the firm, which was reportedly the only vendor it had hired to register voters. Despite a reported history of similar accusations against founder Nathan Sproul, Republicans had paid the firm millions of dollars, including more than $1.3 million in Florida.
