St. Louis Election Board officials say they've discovered at least 1,492 "potentially fraudulent" voter registration cards - including three from dead people and one from a 16-year-old - among the thousands pouring in before today's voter registration deadline for the Nov. 7 election.
City Republican elections director Scott Leiendecker said the board's staff expects to find even more bogus voter-registration applications among the thousands remaining to be processed. The board plans to turn all the questionable cards over to city Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce for investigation and possible prosecution, said board chairman Kimberley Mathis.
The board says all the questionable cards were turned in by one group - the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, commonly known as ACORN.

Statewide, ACORN has turned about 40,000 new voter registrations in recent weeks, Mellor said. About 15,000 were collected in the city of St. Louis and 5,000 in St. Louis County. The rest were primarily in the Kansas City area.
ACORN's voter-registration collections have come under fire in recent weeks in several states, including Ohio and Pennsylvania. Mellor and national ACORN communications director Kevin Whelan said that most of the allegations have turned out to be unfounded. Mellor detailed the findings of various investigations into ACORN's 2004 voter-registration activities that he said also turned up no wrongdoing.
In St. Louis three years ago, the city Election Board reported finding more than 1,000 suspicious voter registration cards turned in by ACORN. No one appears to have been prosecuted in that case, although Joyce's office has obtained convictions regarding fraudulent voter-registration cards turned in by people working for other, now-defunct groups.

We need to SCREAM to the high heavens at anybody willing to listen that DEMOCRATS are poised to attempt stealing ANOTHER election....
Don't worry. We own the voting machines.
/s
What good would screaming do? Democrats don't care. Screaming won't shame them.
I am hoping our turnout overwhelms their efforts.
Hillary may have 1 to 5 million of these things in 2008.
We need to start sending people to JAIL for this fraud!! It cancels out MY vote!!
At some point, we have to come to grips with the MASSIVE Democrat Voter Fraud...
They have absolutely no hope of winning anything these days without committing MASSIVE fraud to do it.
This is my pet peeve, is a GRAVE violation of the Constitution, and disenfranchises MY VOTE....
FYI....voter fraud
Republicans get accused of stealing elections; Democrats steal elections.
Any slashed tires on Republican vans to take voters to the polls yet? Oh, wait, the Dems will be saving that one for election day.
I absolutely agree. Irrespective of who is willing to listen, it is imperative that the truth be pointed out. Literally, the future of our children is at stake, each and every election.
"Screaming won't shame them."
Well, that's true. You can't shame the shameless.
It's called projectiom....accuse your enemy of what YOU are doing!!
I was just going to ping you. This is the only worry we have and if Talent does not have people out there on this he is not the bright young man I believe him to be.

Vans to take Republicans to the polls? Democrats won't find any of those vans...Republicans can afford their own ride.
The death penalty would be more appropriate. This is treason.
Can't vote without one.
Naturally, the "You're a Gestapo, show me your papers" comments will follow. But conservatives can't have it both ways. "Assume I'm a citizen with inalienable rights, but assume that everyone else isn't" just doesn't mesh with reality.
Either we give the people in charge of elections the tools or we don't.
aren't they the ones that turned in daff e. duck as a registrant in defiance, ohio? or was it mick e. mouse.
Exactly....Since no one gets prosecuted, the crime increases.
