After voters accused Democratic operatives in Iowa of encouraging voters to sign absentee ballots for family members and to fill out absentee ballots for voters without their permission, the Republican National Committee (RNC) on Sunday asked Iowa's Secretary of State Matt Schultz to do all he could to monitor the situation. 

In a letter to Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz, John Phillippe, the RNC's Chief Counsel wrote he was expressing his "concern with what appears to be illegal activity involving Democratic and Obama campaign operatives engaged in absentee ballot canvassing."

"We understand that the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigations is investigating this matter," Phillippe said. "We request the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office do all it can to further that investigation and to ensure that any illegal activity conducted by Democratic operatives does not taint the fairness of the 2012 general election."

As the RNC noted, "Democratic operatives allegedly encouraged people to falsely sign absentee ballot requests for other family members" and "may have even falsely filled out and submitted absentee ballot requests without the permission of the Iowa voters on whose behalf the requests were submitted.”

Dear God, the Democrats are horrible. They don’t care about this country, only keeping the half-black man in office. I wish the party would just die out.

Has Iowa’s Secretary of State Matt Schultz been BOUGHT by Soros?

Soros PLANNED on “purchasing” Secretaries of State a LONG time ago.

I wonder how much a Secretary of State COSTS today...ya know...after figuring in inflation.

Is it just me or do these “investigations” always seem to go nowhere. Funny you NEVER hear of anybody going to jail.

Why is that?

IF the Sec of State is a Republican, there is at least a SMALL chance this will actually be investigated. A Dem means NO chance!

So what happens when someone goes to the polls on election day not knowing that a relative has requested an absentee ballot in his name and voted for him? Does he get arrested for trying to vote twice?

The Secretary of State is a Republican, as is the Governor and Lt. Governor. (The Green Papers)
