ACORN gets raided
Quote:The group was submitting the information through a voter sign-up drive known as Project Vote.

"Some of them used nonexistent names, some of them used false addresses and some of them were duplicates of previously filed applications," Walsh said, describing the complaints, which largely came from the registrar in Clark County, Nev.

Secretary of State Ross Miller said the fraudulent registrations included forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team.

Didn't the first bail-out bill contain money earmarked for ACORN?

Quote:Is ACORN Stealing The Election?


Quote:Election Fraud: A radical group Barack Obama used to work for is committing voter-registration fraud in several states, ahead of the election. What does Obama know about this scam?



Quote:ACORN's corruption is not just out in the field, as they claim. There's a pattern of corruption from the top down.

McCain would be wise to start preparing a challenge to voter registration rolls should he lose the race in a close contest. He'd be crazy not to contest the results in light of these events.

The original Bailout bill would have given these thugs millions!!!

RE: ACORN gets raided
But wait... it gets better.... ACORN is a BAD NUT...

What makes this important is that Ohio has that screwed up "register and vote on the same day law" that just begs VOTER FRAUD.

I don't think we will have an elected President determined before Christmas, concerning all the fraud, and you know there will be Court challenges.

CLEVELAND - Two Ohio voters, including Domino's pizza worker Christopher Barkley , claimed yesterday that they were hounded by the community-activist group ACORN to register to vote several times, even though they made it clear they'd already signed up.

Barkley estimated he'd registered to vote "10 to 15" times after canvassers for ACORN, whose political wing has endorsed Barack Obama, relentlessly pursued him and others.

Claims such as his have sparked election officials to probe ACORN.

"I kept getting approached by folks who asked me to register," Barkley said. "They'd ask me if I was registered. I'd say yes, and they'd ask me to do it [register] again.

"Some of them were getting paid to collect names. That was their sob story, and I bought it," he said.

Barkley is one of at least three people who have been subpoenaed by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections as part of a wider inquiry into possible voter fraud by ACORN. The group seeks to register low-income voters, who skew overwhelmingly Democratic.

"You can tell them you're registered as many times as you want - they do not care," said Lateala Goins, 21, who was subpoenaed.

"They will follow you to the buses, they will follow you home, it does not matter," she told The Post.

She added that she never put down an address on any of the registration forms, just her name.

A third subpoenaed voter, Freddie Johnson, 19, filled out registration cards 72 times over 18 months, officials said.

"It feeds the public perception that there could be [fraud], and that makes the pillars fall down," said local Board of Elections President Jeff Hastings.

Registering under a fake name is illegal. But officials usually catch multiple registrations and toss them.

The major risk of fraud growing out of mass canvassing involves the possibility of ineligible voters filing absentee ballots, and thus avoiding checks at polling places, said Republican National Committee chief counsel Sean Cairncross.

The subpoenas come as Republicans have ramped up criticism of ACORN. Officials in Nevada raided ACORN's Las Vegas office Tuesday, accusing the group of signing people up multiple times - in some cases under phony names, like those of Dallas Cowboys.

ACORN's Cleveland spokesman, Kris Harsh, said his group collected 100,000 voter-registration cards; only about 50 were questionable, he claimed.

As for workers, "We watch them like a hawk," he said.

05-nono BAD ACORN

RE: ACORN gets raided
Obama will likely get votes from Bugs bunny, Tom and Jerry, Spiderman, superman, the hulk, wonderwoman, scobby doo, shaggy, Chewbakka, Obiwon kenobi, darth vader, Luke Skywalker,r2d2,yoda, fat albert, snow white, mickey mouse, minnie mouse, homer simpson and family, peter griffin and family, the san diego chicken, the geico gekko, the caveman, mr whipple, captain morgan, captain kangaroo, jack daniels, jim beam, santa claus, the tooth fairy, the boggyman, jason, michael myers, the smurfs, the obituaries from the last 30 years, and ofcourse a large number of porn stars. Democrats always can count their "base" for showing up. ACORN does a good job of getting the Democratic base out. Obama probably starts with a large lead before polls open because Duffy Duck would have voted 6,000 times for Obama in most states. 1960 election had many dead people voting in Illinois and Texas. Democrats are experts at getting their ghosts to the polls on election day.

RE: ACORN gets raided
I really like the way the Iraqi elections were conducted. I think there should be NO early voting and only mail in absentee. I think there should be 3 days of voting 12 hours each day and once you have voted at your polling place, you must dip your finger in the indelible blue ink to maintain privacy while making it nearly impossible to vote twice in the same election.

RE: ACORN gets raided
Ok we know one of Barry's "community terrorist activist" groups is doing it's best to steal the election, even though it probably isn't needed.


Smells from the shadows

Quote:Something odd is going on. The Obama campaign boasts of a landslide in the making even as his polling lead slips a point or two, and there's anger bordering on rage when John McCain and Sarah Palin raise questions about Barack Obama's judgment in his unexplored past in Chicago.

An investigation of ACORN, a cabal of "political activists" hired to register voters in the neighborhoods where few friends of John McCain abide has now spread to 10 states.
Investigators discovered that the entire offensive line of the Dallas Cowboys had signed up to vote in Las Vegas, unless it turns out that someone forged their signatures to make a quota. The rules for this game were written in Chicago.





Even after widespread fraud is proven against ACORN, what can be done? I don't think there has ever been a national candidate result thrown out of any state. It's good to shine a light on Obama and the criminals he associates with, but it won't change anything.

At least it's coming out before the election. If it comes out after it seems like sour grapes.

What hasn't been touched is the number of non-citizens who have been registered. I don't see how this didn't get worse since 1996

RE: ACORN gets raided
1 VOTER, 72 REGISTRATIONS


Quote:A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws.

Maybe it's time to require a State issued PHOTO ID to vote when you go to your polling place your ID # is entered locking you out of all other polling places. In this day of technology that wouldn't be hard.

Quote:Sometimes, they come up and bribe me with a cigarette, or they'll give me a dollar to sign up," said Freddie Johnson, 19, who filled out 72 separate voter-registration cards over an 18-month period at the behest of the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

Quote:ACORN's political wing has endorsed Barack Obama for president, but Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign in Ohio, said ACORN has no role in its get-out-the-vote drive.

During the primary season, however, the Obama camp paid another group, Citizen Service Inc., $832,598 for various political services, according to Federal Elections Commission filings. That group and ACORN share the same board of directors.

Quote:In Wisconsin yesterday, John McCain blasted ACORN.

Hey old guy the last Republican to win Wisconsin was Reagan, you're no Reagan. Focus on the Red States if you are to have any chance of winning. You are down 10+ points in every Wisconsin poll.

RE: ACORN gets raided
Bush probably won Wisconsin in 2004, problem was Voter Fraud like this likely threw it. There was a district in Milwaukee that had more Voters than there were Registered Voters.

Milwaukee Police Dept. Report

http://media2.620wtmj.com/breakingnews/E...474926.pdf

Quote:the Election Commission reported there were between 4600 and 5300 more ballots cast than voters who can be accounted for..

So over 100% turnout there, same thing ACORN is trying for in Indianopolis that we know of so far.

RE: ACORN gets raided
It's getting much much worse. I fear we must either nullify all the ACORN registered voters or have an election full of voter fraud.

Thousands of voter registration forms faked, officials say


Quote:And in Lake County, home to the long-depressed steel town of Gary, the bipartisan Elections Board has stopped processing a stack of about 5,000 applications delivered just before the October 6 registration deadline after the first 2,100 turned out to be phony.

That's 100% fraud by this group, are they paying these thugs by the completed registration form? 05-mafia

Quote:A subsidiary of the group was paid $800,000 by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign to register voters for the 2008 primaries, and ACORN's political wing endorsed Obama back in February. But Obama's campaign told CNN that it "is committed to protecting the integrity of the voting process," and said it has not worked with ACORN during the general election.

Oh, but it was ok to STEAL the primary away from Hillary by using these THUGS, to commit fraud on the American public.

This group would have gotten FEDERAL FUNDS out of the bailout package if the bill had not been changed at the Republicans' insistence.

Quote:Brian Mellor, an ACORN attorney in Boston, said the group has its own quality-control process and has fired workers in the past -- including workers in Gary. But he said allegations that his organization committed fraud is a government attempt to keep people disenfranchised.
04-jawdrop

The only ones who should feel disenfranchised are the legitimate voters.

Quote:"We have no idea what the motive behind it is," she said. "It's just overwhelming to us."

That's Obama operatives plan. Overwhelm the election process with fraud not only in the registration and voting process, but in fund raising as well. Obama will be in office with a democrat ruled house and senate so no one can demand a special prosecutor to investigate. 05-nono
