ACORN Already Guilty of Voter Fraud

October 9th, 2008 By: Michael van der Galien | Tags:

Far-left organization ACORN – which has close ties to Barack Obama and the Democratic Party in general – has been accused by Missouri officials of submitting questionable (read: duplicate and even downright fake) voter-registration forms.

ACORN was already accused of trying to commit fraud in other states for the November 4 elections as well. 

“I don’t even know the entire scope of it because registrations are coming in so heavy,” Charlene Davis, co-director of the election board in Jackson County,  said. “We have identified about 100 duplicates, and probably 280 addresses that don’t exist, people who have driver’s license numbers that won’t verify or Social Security numbers that won’t verify. Some have no address at all.”

FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said the agency has been in contact with elections officials about potential voter fraud and plans to investigate.

“It’s a matter we take very seriously,” Patton said. “It is against the law to register someone to vote who does not fall within the parameters to vote, or to put someone on there falsely.”

Most interesting, perhaps, is the fact that the Democratic tried to tunnel millions of dollars to ACORN when the bailout bill was proposed. In the end, the bill that got passed did indeed do that. There are also connections between Obama personally and ACORN.

ACORN, meanwhile, denies having done anything purposefully wrong.

    ACORN appears to use various front groups to hide it’s involvement too, including the group that Obama admits to having close ties with (he headed up a voter drive for them), Vote Smart.

    And then there’s the front group "Citizens Services, Inc" to which Obama’s campaign gave $800,000.

    Still looking through the Google 2001 utility, lots of good stuff there (that you wont find through regular Google)

    The content is not really all that new news from what I can see, but it is interesting that it was there, and now it is not..

    2001:

    http://web.archive.org/web/20010418192832/www.acorn.org/acorn-reports/acornrep1999.12.html

    so a regular google search on "ACORN Action Blunts Attack on CRA" 

    and you will notice it is not there…

    Interesting, very interesting…
