The Acorn Fiasco

Not only are they pushing the banks to make questionable loans to people that could not qualify otherwise, they are heavily involved in Voter fraud, going on right now in Ohio.


And Obama is up to his ears with ACORN as former employee, leader, trainer, lawyer etc.
He also gave them 800,000.00 to work with.
-------------------------------------------------
From The Boortz web site.


A listener, William, sent us a compellation of various times when ACORN has
resorted to voter fraud, just to get their Messiah, Barack Obama, elected.
Here's a synopsis of some of the different cases against ACORN, just in this
election season alone. Are you starting to understand what is going on here,
folks? These are not isolated incidents. Now as you read of these incidents
remember, please, that during Obama's days as a community organizer he was
deeply involved with ACORN. That ought to set of some alarm bells with the
media ... ought to, but it won't.

Washington
July 26, 2007,Seattle Times
Felony charges filed against 7 in state's biggest case of voter-registration
fraud. The defendants, who were paid employees and supervisors of ACORN, the
Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now

Michigan
September 14, 2008, Detroit Free Press
Several municipal clerks across the state are reporting fraudulent and
duplicate voter registration applications, most of them from a nationwide
community activist group working to help low- and moderate-income
families.The majority of the problem applications are coming from the group
ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now ...

Florida
Oct. 13, 2007, PRNewswire
A Florida state attorney is investigating thousands of potentially
fraudulent voter registrations associated with the leading organizer of
Florida's Amendment 5 ballot initiative. But this is just the tip of an
iceberg of illegalities, fraud and contradictions connected to the
Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) ... Former
ACORN Miami-Dade field director Mac Stuart has declared an intent to sue
ACORN and has made charges of rampant voter fraud operations. Stuart was
employed and specifically tasked by ACORN to generate 103,000 new voter
registrations from Dade County. He reports that ACORN threw out Republican
registrations while paying for Democratic ones. Stuart also charges that
ACORN targeted ex-cons and that he personally set up registration tables
outside the Miami police department and Dade County jail.

New Mexico
Sept. 18, 2008, Judicial Watch Blog
This week officials in New Mexico's most populous county (Bernalillo)
notified federal authorities that more than 1,000 fraudulent voter
registration cards were submitted to the clerk's office. ACORN, which pays
workers for each registration, is the prime suspect since it has handled
thousands of new voter registrations in New Mexico since January. County
workers subsequently discovered that at least 1,100 new registrations list
Social Security numbers for people already in the county's database of
registered voters, names of registered voters with different birth dates and
addresses that don't exist.

Wisconsin
Aug. 6, 2008, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Criminal investigations could be launched against at least six voter
registration workers who tried to add dead, imprisoned or imaginary people
to the voter rolls, according to the Milwaukee Election Commission and the
organization that employed them. "One woman called us to complain because
her husband has been dead for 10 years and a voter registration was
submitted," Edman said. In about 12 cases, deputy registrars paid by ACORN
were "making people up or registering people that were still in prison,"
said Carolyn Castore, ACORN's state political director. And in other cases,
workers used the same address for numerous voters or used driver's license
numbers that did not fit the voters' birth dates, Edman said. But most of
the fraud involved submitting duplicate cards for voters who were already
registered, and forging the voters' signatures, Castore said.

Ohio
August 27, 2008, The Plain Dealer
A national organization that conducts voter registration drives for
low-income people has curtailed its push in Cuyahoga County after the Board
of Elections accused its workers of submitting fraudulent registration
cards. Board employees said ACORN workers often handed in the same name on a
number of voter registration cards, but showing that person living at
different addresses. Other times, cards had the same name listed, but a
different date of birth. Still another sign of possible fraud showed a
number of people living at an address that turned out to be a restaurant.
ACORN has submitted about 75,000 voter registration cards to the Cuyahoga
board this year.

Pennsylvania
Sept. 18, 2008, The Bulletin: Philadelphia's Family Newspaper
A community organization, with longstanding ties to Barack Obama, has,
according to numerous reports, repeatedly run afoul of voter registration
laws both locally and nationally. Philadelphia election officials recently
accused ACORN, of filing multiple fraudulent voter registrations during the
2008 Pennsylvania primary. The case has been referred to the U.S. Attorney's
office, according to Philadelphia Deputy Election Commissioner Fred Voight.
Delaware County election officials have made similar allegations against the
group, and criminal indictments are pending. This past July 24, Dauphin
County detectives offered a $2,000 reward for information about the
whereabouts of Luis R. Torres-Serrano, an ACORN worker, who was accused of
submitting more than 100 fraudulent voter registrations.

Nevada
July 7,2008, Las Vegas Review Journal
ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for
Reform Now, claims to have collected 60,000 new voter registrations in Clark
County since February ... Lomax said while he supports the goal of getting
more people registered to vote, he sees rampant fraud in the 2,000 to 3,000
registrations ACORN turns in every week.

Well, as of tuesday you can walk in and vote in Ohio the same day you are registered until the 6th of Oct.

The disputed voting window results from an overlap between Tuesday’s beginning of absentee voting 35 days before Election Day, and the Oct. 6 end of voter registration.

Say what? If that isn't an invitation to voter fraud what is?

Not only that, Acorn has buses running around getting people to sign up where ever they find them, then busing them to other counties to vote again.

The ballots are many and only counted by precinct so there is no cross checking.
The election here is probably stolen way before election day.!!

So I get a call this afternoon, caller ID said Acorn International. Acorn rang a bell with me but I wasn't sure where I had heard it recently. I decided to answer it. They asked for my son. My son was home so I gave him the phone. Come to find out, he had registered to vote through them. He was smart enough not to give out his social security number though. Should I be worried about this and is he truly registered to vote? He is wondering too. He said he was pressured and thought they were legit.

BTW, they were calling to try to get him to go door to door in support of Obama and Al Franken. He told them no f'n way that he didn't support them.

He's fine Deb, they are a politically motivated oganization but not a criminal one. Where they get in trouble is helping people get registered who shouldn't be. Obviously they had hoped your kid was gonna help Obama and Franken, but they must have picked the wrong kid.

Good for you for watching his back too!

OK lets see why this is perhaps taking place.
Remember when the ole Great White (GW) ran against Gore?
Who was the Gov in the state that had the most problems?Jeb bush.
To further the BS,please think of the following.
The elections in the rest of the world can be called with exit polls.They only vary by no more than +2 or -2 % across the board anywhere.....Except in America where they have been off as much as 30% the last two Presidential elections.Why the discrepancy?
It has already been proven that the Diebold voting machines can be rigged with just the blank memory card,yet they still are supplying the machines to many many states.Diebold also makes ATM machines,ever lost .25 cents on a transaction?I doubt it yet they cant make a solid secure voting machine.
Also in Florida they listed people as not being eligible to vote even though they were legally eligible.They were denied thier right to cast a ballot.
If what you say is actually happening,then perhaps they are just playing the game by the other sides rules.
Just like the saying goes,when in Rome do as the Romans.Or even better.."Dont bring a knife to a gunfight"

Meanwhile the Republicans have mailed

over 1,000,000 (one million) absentee ballots to registered Republicans in Ohio. But that is OK becasue they are not Democrats attempting to increase votes their Republicans and they always act honestly. Face reality children both parties are going to do anything they can to increase the vote count in their favor. And if you believe only one party would do that your an idiot.


Absentee ballot mail-out story: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the...mccain-pa.html

And the court decision to not require the formality of having the voter check the box on the ballot is perhaps trivial. But there again requiring the voter to mark the ballot is the same sort of trivia. Anyone betting on the hanging chad approach to vote counting returning in November? I am.

Next we will be eliminating any necessity to actualy have to cast a ballot to make your vote count. Maybe we can get a few psychics to compile the results without burdening the voter with any kind or requirement such as voting at all.

they should have mailed out ballots to everyone shouldn't they.

Besides I'm wondering if maybe they can register and vote on the same absentee ballot?

It is definatly becoming a freak show as we get closer to November 4th.

If I remember correctly, In FLa, the time you speak of the Election Board for the state was ran by Democrats, and the specific county that had the problem was ran by democrats.

They made a Butterfly Ballot with the names arranged in such a way as they thought would cause more votes for Gore, but since it was a dumb designed ballot, many people supposedly voted for the wrong person.

I don't think the Governor had anything to do with that.

Aren't voter list purges currently under way a much larger problem? Isn't it the same that happened during last 2 elections ?
