Liberal Media Seeks To Discredit RNLA & De-Legitimize Voter Fraud Concerns With False Allegations

This week, the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) raised concerns about the Obama Administration's failure to enforce the MOVE Act, resulting in several states missing deadlines to mail ballots to troops serving overseas this fall.  The media -- including Politico and FOX News -- reported our valid concerns, and the Administration quickly responded, filing suit against the state of New York and promising to investigate the state of Illinois.

But liberal-opinion media also noticed, and is now working to discredit the RNLA with false and libelous allegations.  For example, a headline on the liberal Web site Talking Points Memo today said that the RNLA "gins up voter fraud".  And a post earlier this week falsely reported, "Republicans have a habit of ginning up fears of voter fraud just before national elections." 

As Politico reported, "The RNLA is a group of Republican lawyers who advise candidates on election laws and provide assistance on recounts and charges of voter fraud."  Our goal is to ensure the integrity of elections -- to make sure that every qualified person has a right to vote and that every legal vote is counted.  As the election nears, it's likely that we'll see more cases of voter fraud -- and more efforts to smear the RNLA in the liberal media.  But so long as voter fraud is a live issue, we'll stay strong.
