A 31-year-old man working for the Virginia Republican party was arrested on Thursday after he was caught throwing out voter registration forms, Richmond, Va., the Rockingham County sheriff's office confirmed to CBS News.
The man, Colin Small, faces 13 felony and misdemeanor counts relating to voter fraud, including one count of obstruction of justice, four counts of destruction of voter registration applications and eight counts of disclosure of voter registration applications.
According to CBS affiliate WTVR local man reportedly spotted Small throwing a bag into a Harrisonburg, Va., dumpster reserved for private use by the company at which he works, and investigated because he was annoyed that the man had improperly used the dumpster. He looked in the bag to discover eight filled-out registration forms.

This is just one that got caught.
“Tip of the iceberg” sort of stuff.
I guarantee there’s more and it’s more prolific than in 2008.
Hang the SOB!!
I smell a RAT here.
This guy was working for a CONTRACTOR. I'll be checking to see if they find his name on the Dim voter roles in his PA home town...
Unless you show up at the voting booth, you never know what happened to your vote.
Bet this guy was doing it every day. And I'd guess he's got a look out working with him.
Sounds like he went in to sabotage Republicans. Wonder how many other registrations he destroyed before being caught?
Thinking this through a little more, he was registering for the Pubbies and DESTROYED the FORMS? Hmmmmmmmmmmm...
When you look back on 2012, would you rather remember standing on the sidelines and watching Romney pull ahead in the last few weeks, or do you want to remember activating thousands of voters in support of President Barack Obama?

Was he wearing an ACORN or SEIU T-shirt?
Regardless the party, it's good that these incidents/arrests get publicity so as to intimidate would-be fraudsters.
So someone woekinf to register Republicans was throwing away the registrations? Hope this isn not widespread! I wonder how man registrations this Rat threw away.
could be worse.

another article with more info:
((Colin Small, a 23-year-old resident of Phoenixville, Pa., worked for Pinpoint, a company hired to register voters on behalf of the Republican Party of Virginia.
Correction: The Rockingham County Sheriff office originally said Small was 31 years old. The agency later corrected that information to say he is 23. This post has been updated.))

To those claiming it’s a RAT...
There are bad apples in every batch. This is why we need to take extreme actions whenever we find this in our own ranks. We all know it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the other side. But when dealing with the other side, all it takes is one or two stories like this to discount ANY AND ALL wrong doing on their side.
” I smell a RAT here.”
No kidding.
YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!
THE LAST TIME I VOTED I FOUND A SIGNATURE THAT WAS NOT MINE
CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION BEFORE NOVEMBER!!!
I’ve seen several queries about self-identified Republican agents calling at the door with voter registration forms. The question was, how do you know if these guys are who they say they are?
What if the Dem crooks have a bunch of guys all over the country, going door to door soliciting and collecting early ballots from Republican voters, AND THEN THROWING THEM OUT?
That way, they not only would have double voters, seniors suffering from dementia, and dead people voting for Democrats, but they could cut down on Republican voters as well, since these people would think they had already voted and would not go to the polls on election day.
Also, that’s one way of avoiding the occasional inconvenient statistic when more Democrats vote in some cities than the total number of registered voters.
I think this whole business needs to be looked into very closely.
