2024 Virginia probe expands into GOP voter fraud, focusing on RNC-hired Sproul firm; RNC official arrested for destroying forms, allegedly registering deceased individuals.

In September 2024, investigations into GOP voter registration fraud expanded in Virginia, focusing on Nathan Sproul's firm hired by the Republican National Committee (RNC). The probe followed the arrest of an RNC official for destroying voter registration forms. Allegations included registering deceased individuals as voters. The RNC, after paying Sproul's firm over $3 million, terminated its contract amid the scandal, which also implicated Florida Governor Rick Scott.
