ACORN Story Grows
Semi-News/Semi-Satire | 11 Oct 2008 | John Semmens

More charges of vote fraud were leveled at the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) this week. The latest “isolated incident” emerged from the state of Ohio where the Board of Elections uncovered what it characterized as “widespread voter fraud” where individuals were registered multiple times.

Earlier in the week, Nevada election officials discovered that ACORN had submitted bogus registrations, including names from the roster of the Dallas Cowboys football team. The week before, ACORN was caught submitting multiple registrations for the same persons in Missouri. In Indianapolis, more people are now registered to vote than live in the city. So far, 21 “isolated incidents” of voter fraud involving ACORN in the last year have been detected.

Presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill), who worked with ACORN during his years as a Community Organizer, blamed the Bush Administration. “While we all hope for a clean election, the sorry fact is that the last eight years of wrongheaded policies by the Bush Administration have laid the foundations for failure in so many sectors of our society,” Obama asserted. “As a result, the pool of young workers ACORN has to draw from includes too many who are dishonest and illiterate. The voter registration mistakes we are seeing are further proof that the fundamental change I hope to bring to this country is sorely needed.”

ACORN’s chief Cleveland organizer, Kris Harsh, concurred with Senator Obama’s assessment. “It’s not only illiteracy, some of our workers aren’t good at math either,” Harsh said. “What other explanation could there be for registering the same person ten times? The problem is we don’t have enough funding to hire the most qualified people. We’re confident that this will change when Senator Obama is president. That’s why it is so important that we get as many Obama voters as we can to cast ballots.”

In related news, Obama downplayed the significance of a report that he was once a member of the “New Party”—an organization founded by Democratic Socialists of America to try to influence Chicago elections. “I only joined to score some sex and drugs,” Obama claimed. “I didn’t know anything about its socialist agenda.”

Hey Harsh, I was born at night...but not LAST night.

Type in “repository” in the search engine......You’ll be able to trace ACORN’s history in the past election. Nothing new....EXCEPT the laws have change in some of the state.....INdiana and Michigan to name a couple. More chance for Jail terms.

That’s supposed to make it all better how?
