ACORN and Voter Fraud- Or How To Steal An Election

Confessions Of A Closet Republican

Everyone who deserves to vote should have the right to vote, it is every citizen's inalienable right to do so. But there are some unethical and criminal types who seem to think it's okay to vote multiple times to ensure their particular candidate wins, and that's what ACORN is encouraging with their sketchy voter registration efforts. Whether they are directly complicit or not, the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (better known as ACORN) is being investigated for voter registration fraud across the country, from Nevada to Ohio to Florida and everywhere in between. On

e of the major problems is that people hired by ACORN to register voters are being paid per name, and with quotas to fill, they'll do anything to get signatures, including bribing people who have already registered. One Ohio man, under investigation, was paid cash and cigarettes to register a whopping 73 times! Another Cleveland pizza delivery guy being questioned about the 10 to 15 times he registered to vote he was approached multiple times by ACORN workers while sitting in a public square. He said the group's solicitors told him they were getting paid by the name to sign up voters. "I 'd be like, 'No, I'm already registered," Barkley said. "Then they just asked me again, like, 'I need a job, I'm just trying to hold on to a job. So would you sign it for me? I need 25 or more. I need a certain amount of them.' So me being the kind-hearted person, I say, 'Yeah.'

There are also reports of new registrations in dead people's names, and many with false phone numbers and addresses. A CNN video report (below) describes how at least 50 percent of the newly registered voters in one county alone were totally bogus.

ACORN seems unconcerned about all the allegations of voter fraud, and claim they are a non-partisan organization. However, they endorsed Barack Obama, and Obama's campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN to help with its primary 'get out the vote' registration drive. ACORN's emphasis is to get lower income citizens to vote, which is fine, but we know that they tend to vote Democratic. And, if the driving force behind this effort happens to have endorsed a Democratic candidate,  odds are they will be pushing that candidate.

As much as ACORN (and the Democratic Party) swear they are not attempting to steal this election,  it looks like it to me. I think they will do anything to get Obama elected, even if that means bribing people to vote, illegally. Voter registration fraud <strong>can</strong> potentially lead to election fraud, especially when the only states that require a photo I.D</a>. to vote are -<strong>Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan and South Dakota</strong> .  There's an emergency petition being circulated to require photo i.d.s to cast one's ballot.  You can sign the online, emergency "voter identification" petition

We live in a democracy! One would think we were beyond voter fraud. What message do we send to the world at large, when we are just as guilty as some of those countries we've sanctioned for stealing elections.

Takes me back to the Indian elections !Never thought stuff like this happened here !
I wish someone would do something like taping ACORN in the act and then we may be able to stop this.

Frasypoo, voter fraud has been going on almost forever in the Good US of A. I've read in History Books that the Tammany Hall bosses in NYC would fix elections. The Daly machine in Chicago has always had "the fix in" in every election. In fact, when JFK won by 100,000 votes in the general election, it was thought that most of them were dead people in Illinois. We have dead people vote in Georgia every election cycle. It's nothing new--but it hasn't been done on such a grand scale until the Democrats tried to steal the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections with all their machinations in Florida (2000)then Ohio (2004). God bless America!!!

Yeah, I'm from Chicago, and worked as a political consultant on a couple of races. Illinois and partiularly Chicago is completely corrupt. It was no coincidence that Al Gore got Bill Daley to run his recount effort. Bill is the brother of the current mayor, and son of Hizzoner Richard I

Wow!
This is my first presidential election so a lot of the stuff is new to me.

It's impossible for a person of sound mind to vote for a Vice Presidential candidate who refuses to give a press conference. I mean, what is this, the Soviet Union?

[George Dienhart]

How about a presidential candidate that has held a press conference in a month (Obama)?
