I've Got Your ACORN Right Here

We're at that time of the election season where we seem to run across inevitable voter registration fraud, and once again it's being committed by the usual suspects, this time leading to an actual arrest of the alleged fraudsters...

You know.  Republicans.

A Pennsylvania man employed by a company working for the Republican Party of Virginia was arrested by investigators from the Rockingham County Sheriff’s office on Thursday and charged with destroying voter registration forms.

Colin Small, a 31-year-old resident of Phoenixville, Pa., worked for Pinpoint, a company hired to register voters on behalf of the Republican Party of Virginia. Prosecutors charged him with four counts of destruction of voter registration applications, eight counts of failing to disclose voter registration applications and one count of obstruction of justice.

Rockingham County Sheriff Bryan Hutcheson’s office said there was no indication that the activity was widespread in their jurisdiction and said the conduct “appears to be limited in nature.” His office said there is a possibility that additional charges may be filed.

Keep in mind if this was a Democratic party related organization with an arrest for registration fraud, we would have investigations, allegations of wrongdoing by party officials, calls for mass resignations, and calls for impeachment of the President.

But he was a white Republican.  So it's an "isolated incident" by "one bad individual" that cannot possibly be an indication of widespread voter registration fraud.  Got it?
