BELLMONT, MA – Little known G.O.P. presidential candidate Fred Karger has accused Republican presidential front-runner, Mitt Romney of voter fraud. According to Mother Jones, Karger alleges that Romney voted for Scott Brown for U.S. Senator in Massachusetts, though Romney is no longer a resident of Massachusetts. Karger has filed a complaint with the state’s election officials.

According to Karger, in 2008, Romney bought a $12.5-million home in La Jolla, California, where he became a regular at California political events and even campaigned for California gubernatorial candidate, Meg Whitman. Karger also claims that in April 2009, the Romenys sold their Belmont, Massachusetts, home for $3.5 million and registered to vote from the address in the unfinished 8,000 square foot basement of their son’ s home, al

so located in Belmont. In May 2009, the Romney’s made their primary residence in a $10-million estate in New Hampshire.

Fraudulent voter registration in Massachusetts carries a penalty of $10,000 and up to five years in jail. The voter residency law in Massachusetts’ defines residence as “where a person dwells and which is the center of his domestic, social, and civil life.”

Karger has a history of tormenting Romney. As the first openly gay Republican to seek the party’s presidential nomination, Karger has taken aim at his opponents’ stand on gay rights from the start. But Romney has also proven a useful stand-in for the Mormon Church, which Karger has never forgiven for funding California’s Proposition 8, the ballot initiative that banned gay marriage in the state. Karger was instrumental in exposing the church’s involvement in getting the initiative on the ballot and ultimately passed.

Karger says he finds it strange that a person worth $500 million would really be living in his son’s basement. Investigating this mystery was right up Karger’s alley. He spent 30 years working for one of California’s preeminent GOP consulting firms,  doing opposition research for candidates.
