Virginia Republican Party Chairman Jeff Frederick said Monday that incidents in Hampton and Richmond led the party to fear "coordinated and widespread" statewide voter registration fraud.

Frederick called on Gov. Timothy M. Kaine and Attorney General Bob McDonnell to launch a statewide investigation, citing last week's arrest of three canvassers in Hampton as evidence that people who were not eligible to vote were being signed up by a national nonprofit organization, the Community Voters Project.

Spokesmen for Kaine, a Democrat, and McDonnell, a Republican, said the matter was appropriately in the hands of the Hampton's commonwealth's attorney.

Sounds like an over reaction to me. The voter registration non-profit were the ones who turned in the evidence of fraud, and files complaints against the canvassers that got them arrested. It was probably a case of paying canvassers by performance, and a few canvassers trying to pad their performance. Stupid of the canvassers, considering the gravity of voter fraud, but it does not sound like some kind of wide spread conspiracy to me.
