Presumably it would be easy as pie to "flip" any number of the folks who falsified the registrations if they were instructed by their superiors, contractors, etc. to intentionally submit false voter registrations.
In the Deep South they use independent subs--no respondent superior because of loose contract terms like "increase presence in precincts in accordance with state and local party rules and statutory guidelines governing elections." AFLCIO does the same thing--the rep gets everyone liquored up and tells them what to do on voting day--then denies anything but what the contract says.

I've seen the same thing work in reverse in a South Carolina Senate race where the GOP used college students to perform the same chicanery.
