Authorites Raid ACORN office in Vegas Tuesday

State authorities on Tuesday raided an organization that registers low-income people to vote, alleging that its canvassers falsified forms with bogus names, fake addresses or famous personalities.

The secretary of state's office launched an investigation after noticing that names did not match addresses and that most members of the Dallas Cowboys appeared to be registering in Nevada to vote in November's general election.

Missouri officials suspect fake voter registration

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Officials in Missouri, a hard-fought jewel in the presidential race, are sifting through possibly hundreds of questionable or duplicate voter-registration forms submitted by an advocacy group that has been accused of election fraud in other states.

Charlene Davis, co-director of the election board in Jackson County, where Kansas City is, said the fraudulent registration forms came from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. She said they were bogging down work Wednesday, the final day Missourians could register to vote.

"I don't even know the entire scope of it because registrations are coming in so heavy," Davis 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."

Where's the outrage about this? Not from the media, but among the people. I don't expect the media to be upset or even report about pro-Democrat voter fraud, even on this massive scale. But, this is a grass roots fraud, and it demands a grass roots answer. I'm going to write every congressman, senator and newspaper in my part of the world and insist that the federal government allow states more liberty to reject voter applications and provisional ballots. I'm going to insist that newspaper editors speak out against the fraud, unequivocally, and ask that people who are against voter fraud to turn out en masse and vote against those who benefit from ACORN's crimes.

If you want a form letter, I'll post one for you to use, one for your government representatives, one for your newspapers.

It's time to contribute some more money to the Obama campaign to combat this new round of smears. Move-On is a good place for that...

RE: ACORN and Voter Fraud

Dear Sirs:

The recent actions by the political action group called ACORN demand a response. ACORN has fraudulently registered voters in states all across the nation. They are active in Alabama. Without regard to their partisan preferences, what they do undermines the very foundations of our democracy. One person, one vote has been our rule of law and the guiding principle of our democracy since the founding of our nation.

I am writing to demand, as a citizen of Alabama, that legislation be introduced and passed immediately that will allow local and state election officials to treat all voter registrations that occur away from any state courthouse as suspect, and to require all ballots cast by such voters as provisional, with full power to not count such votes until a full investigation is undertaken on each individual application to determine whether it is completed by one allowed to legally vote in any particular locality. I understand that we are subject to the pre-clearance requirements of the Voting Rights Act; however, the situation is too urgent to wait for guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice. Act now, let the courts clear it up later, if need be.

The best protection of our democracy is for every eligible voter to be registered, for every properly registered voter to vote. If ever there has been an occasion to "turn out" the vote, this is it. We can, as a democracy, stop ACORN in its tracks by a massive turnout of voters who will cast legal ballots against the candidates and causes ACORN supports. If our government will not protect our systems against ACORN's fraud, we can take matters into our own hands and thwart their crimes with a verdict of "not in my state", a verdict handed down on ballots cast for candidates opposed to ACORN's goals.

Regards,


Tim Shelton

You can't buy off guilt with a gazillion dollar$.

Here is another article from Red State that is good.

It highlights the fact that when Obama's associations are questioned the media or articles are quickly brought down

Oh, thanks, dolfan, for the letters! I've copied and pasted, and now ready to personalize.

I'm also pasting into emails of friends and family and urging them to do the same in their respective areas.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Officials in Missouri, a hard-fought jewel in the presidential race, are sifting through possibly hundreds of questionable or duplicate voter-registration forms submitted by an advocacy group that has been accused of election fraud in other states.

Charlene Davis, co-director of the election board in Jackson County, where Kansas City is, said the fraudulent registration forms came from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. She said they were bogging down work Wednesday, the final day Missourians could register to vote.

"I don't even know the entire scope of it because registrations are coming in so heavy," Davis 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."

The nonpartisan group works to recruit low-income voters, who tend to lean Democratic. Most polls show Republican presidential candidate John McCain with an edge in bellwether Missouri, but Democrat Barack Obama continues to put up a strong fight.

Jess Ordower, Midwest director of ACORN, said his group hasn't done any registrations in Kansas City since late August. He said he was told three weeks ago by election officials that there were only about 135 questionable cards — 85 of them duplicates.

"They keep telling different people different things," he said. "They gave us a list of 130, then told someone else it was 1,000."

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."

On Tuesday, authorities in Nevada seized records from ACORN after finding fraudulent registration forms that included the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys.

In April, eight ACORN workers in St. Louis city and county pleaded guilty to federal election fraud for submitting false registration cards for the 2006 election. U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway said they submitted cards with false addresses and names, and forged signatures.

Ordower said Wednesday that ACORN registered about 53,500 people in Missouri this year. He believes his group is being targeted because some politicians don't want that many low-income people having a voice.

"It's par for the course," he said. "When you're doing more registrations than anyone else in the country, some don't want low-income people being empowered to vote. There are pretty targeted attacks on us, but we're proud to be out there doing the patriotic thing getting people registered to vote."

Republicans are among ACORN's loudest critics. At a campaign stop in Bethlehem, Pa., supporters of John McCain interrupted his remarks Wednesday by shouting, "No more ACORN."

Debbie Mesloh, spokeswoman for the Obama campaign in Missouri, said in an e-mailed statement that the campaign supported any investigation of possible fraud.

According to its national Web site, the group has registered 1.3 million people nationwide for the Nov. 4 election. It also has encountered complaints of fraud stemming from registration efforts in Wisconsin, New Mexico, Nevada and battleground states like Michigan, Ohio and North Carolina, where new voter registrations have favored Democrats nearly 4 to 1 since the beginning of this year.

Missouri offers 11 electoral votes; the presidential candidates need at least 270 to win the election.
