Readers will also recall that ACORN activists have long been involved in voter registration fraud, either directly or through its Project Vote affiliate. At least 70 ACORN/Project Vote employees have been convicted of voter registration fraud in a dozen states since 2006. According to a 2009 House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform report, approximately a third of the 1.2 million new registrations turned in by the two groups in 2008 were fraudulent.

The Examiner reports that “…70 ACORN employees in 12 states have been convicted of voter registration fraud.” And “…of the 1.3 million registrations Project Vote/ACORN submitted in the 2008 election cycle, more than one third were invalid.”

After pleading guilty to voter fraud in Las Vegas in April, ACORN will be sentenced Wednesday for participating in a massive conspiracy.

The organized crime syndicate, which used to employ President Obama, may be fined as little as $1,000. Because ACORN, the shell corporation that ran the corrupt ACORN network, is in bankruptcy, it may end up paying nothing at all.ACORN was convicted of felony-level unlawful compensation for registration of voters. With the full knowledge of upper management, ACORN illegally offered cash bonuses to its voter registration canvassers in a scheme called “Blackjack.” Canvassers received extra money if they hit the magic number of 21 registrations in a day.

Senior ACORN executives Amy Adele Busefink and Christopher Howell Edwards were also convicted for their roles in the scheme. ACORN cared so little about the conspiracy that its voter fraud division, Project Vote, put Busefink in charge of the group’s national get-out-the-vote drive in 2010 while she was under indictment in Nevada.

And ACORN, which filed for bankruptcy in November 2010, was itself convicted of voter fraud in Nevada in April of this year. ACORN was also banished from Ohio in 2010 when it settled a state racketeering filed against it by the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, a project of the Buckeye Institute. Under the settlement ACORN agreed never to return to the state.


The remnants of the ACORN empire of activism are gearing up to help President Obama, a former ACORN employee, get reelected next year.

ACORN’s voter registration and mobilization arm, Project Vote, continues to operate, and state ACORN chapters have taken new names.

Two of those ACORN front groups, New York Communities for Change (NYCC), and Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), have been very active in organizing the increasingly violent Occupy Wall Street movement.

There's a reason known to ALL of us why it's the D's who don't like any attempt to stop the fraud.

But you need to stop using logic - it confuses the crap out of liberals.

No one is saying that voter fraud does not exist, it is that most voter fraud is done with absentee ballots for which the ID laws will have no impact. Voter surpression is more of an issue.

Is the only example you have one where a voter or national ID card wouldn't help?

Let’s see – American Thinker is where they took a couple of true statements (DC has tenant laws, and DC has rent control) and then totally fabricated lies about how it works (said that a tenant could just not pay rent whenever they did not want to and could not be evicted among many others).

American Thinker is basing all this on allegedly something someone allegedly named Matthew Vadum said?

Quote: Although Democrats insist that little or no voter fraud is occurring, at least 55 former Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) employees or associates have been convicted of some form of voter fraud in 11 states, according to the Capital Research Center's Matthew Vadum.

So again – where is documentation that Acorn committed Voter Fraud.
