Bad Voter Applicataions Found
The Detroit Free Press | 9-14-2008 | L. L. Braiser

Posted on 09/14/2008 7:58:30 AM PDT by FrdmLvr

Since the First Amendment loving Detroit Free Press has put a block on their material being posted to Free Republic, I can not link to the article that appeared in today's Free Press. I tried. Google the title of this thread plus Detroit Free Press and read for yourselves about what's been going on with ACORN in S.E. Michigan.


TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections; US: Michigan; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: acorn; detroit; mi2008; votefraud; voterfraud
This appeared on the front page of the local section. Had this been about Sarah Palin and trooper gate, or library books in Wassila, it would have been above the fold headlines on the front page.

Well just do like the press does - Use the Charlie Gibson method. Tell us how you interpret it and then give us the link.

This is my worst fear and the only way that Obama is going to be elected. And it could happen!

"If it's really as many as that, it warrants further investigation."

If it's ANY it warrants further investigation.

I live in Washington state and we watched as the Acorn counters came in here to elect our erstwhile Governor Gregoire by a count done three times, count em, THREE TIMES with persons who used city hall as their addresses. It happened here and to win, Obama will use the same method unless we stand up and do something about this. Chicago’s Cook county is as corrupt as it goes and this is Obama’s home ground. He will have plenty of help to win one way or another.

It is saying that they have found many duplicate and and fraudulent voter registration forms in Michigan and they have all come from ACORN.
Why isn’t anyone talking about Zero’s 800,000 in campaign money given to ACORN to get out the vote.
Acorn has successfully gotten out the vote of dead people, people in prizon and people yet to be born not to mention illegals who have documents purchased.
When the democrats say every vote counts they aren’t talking about registered real voters they are talking about all the duplicate fraudlent votes.

Chesney said her office has had discussions with ACORN officials after local clerks reported the questionable applications to the state. Chesney said some of the applications are duplicates and some appear to be names that have been made up.

Like having "discussions" with the Soviets, I mean, Russians, or Iranians, or North Koreans, or...

Why is this "Community Organizing" organization not on the FBI's most wanted list?

It sounds like ACORN is pretty much goingto be allowed to ‘investigate’ itself!

This is the outfit Ayers and Obambi worked on together.

Yes, the same name voting multiple times in one precinct may be discounted - but they use the same names in multiple precincts, not only across a state - but, it has been said, from state to state - even transporting people from voting place to voting place to vote and vote and vote .

This is part of the corrupt Chicago Machine - to whom the obambi belongs, body and soul.

It was the Chigago Machine, with it's voter fraud, that stole the first Nixon election from him - that was proven and Nixon could have force it and taken the election - but he said no - because, he said, it would be too hard on the country.
They should have been stopped then and prosecuted. Instead, they were given a free pass and have just gotten more so since.

NOW is the time to STOP the machine. NOW is the time to stop obambi’s old outfit.

Vote Early, Vote Often

Vote fraud has been rampant all across the country for years, but no one seems to give a rip.

“Free and honest elections are the very foundation of our republican form of government. Hence any attempt to defile the sanctity of the ballot cannot be viewed with equanimity.” United States v. Classic, 313 U.S. 299 at 329 (1941).

From the comments section:

"sounds like the law is working just fine. Nobody is registering in mulitple precincts. Nobody is getting on the rolls fraudulently. Where's the story here?"

I love the way lefties think. That's like saying if you arrested an armed robber before he actually got any money, no crime was committed.

Great, the SoS has turned over app's to the U.S. Attorney's Office and natch, they decline to confirm wheter anything is being looked into.

YET, in recent years ACORN has come under investigation in numerous states (Ohio, Colorado, Missouri and Washington) with ACORN employees being convicted of voter fraud.

Sooooooo I ask, where the HELL is ... RICO? These are ORGANIZED interstate crimes being committed. If 'A-C-O-R-N' was 'M-A-F-I-A', and 'ACORN' was 'Italian' in lieu of 'Black', you could bet the rent the Feds would use RICO. There would be wiretaps in every office in every state. They'd be on them 24/7 and infiltrate with undercover agents, but SQUAT is being done.

This is Affirmative Action at its ugliest;

Feds: "Yes the blacks are committing organized interstate crimes with massive Voter Fraud but ACORN 'says' their employees are stupid, so we'll ignore / overlook the crimes because they're dummies."
Simply marvelous.

Obama warns of GOP attacks

DGHoodini to markomalley

He knows his connections to the voter fraud and voter rigging of ACORN, is eventually going to explode all over the news, and wants to pre-emptively deny any involvement or knowledg of ACORNs indictable offenses.

“I didn’t know anything about voter fraud/rigging when I was a “Community Organizer/Leadership Tainer” for ACORN.

“They must have talked about it on days I wasn’t around,”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just loved reading the Feedback comments to the article. It was like eating shelled pistachios.

“You ever eaten just one pistachio?” ;)

Remember folks the polls do not take these fraudulent votes into consideration. It must be exposed and stopped before the 4th of November. Does some attorney out there have any suggestions?

Forget it. Corrupt State Governments will not bring charges again their own kind. The machine is huge and has had many years to grow in strength. The last Presidential election was the indicator how strong ACORN was and still nothing was done. Enough said.

And obama is sooo proud of his community organizing for this ACORN group who’s know for voter fraud in several states. Known also in Ohio for paying off their workers with crack cocaine, if my memory serves me right.

Not an attorney, but I’ll chime in anyway.

Here in Wisconsin you can challenge the legitimacy of a voter registration, then the voter has to provide additional proof of their eligibility to vote. Not sure if that’s a Wisconsin thing or if you can do that nationwide.

I started putting together ideas for a volunteer group to verify voter registrations, but between working full time and trying to finish my degree, I’m afraid I’ve let that project slip.

If we could get electronic copies of the voter registration database it would be easier to verify. Thanks to the geneology craze most death notices from the last 100 years can be found online. Addresses can be looked up at sites like http://www.zillow.com

Seems the IRS might possibly be convinced to help out, after all, if someone is registered to vote there must be some kind of tax record for them, if not they should be arrested for tax evasion!

Unfortunately, this is also a bit big-brotherish. The investigations to verify legitimate voters might be seen as an invasion of privacy.

ACORN officials said they were looking into the problem. "We'll do an investigation to see what's happening," said David Lagstein, a spokesman for the Detroit office. "If it's really as many as that, it warrants further investigation."

Gosh I'm sure these "Community Organizers" will get down to the truth!

Local officials are in charge of making sure elections are run fairly. Local officials are elected. Go after them and hold them accountable. Start now. Make lots of noise about it.

I watched these people at work in Albuquerque in 2000. They had no fear of repercussions because they ran things.

Be a Sarah Palin and get rid of the corruption!!!!

The leftist bureaucracy will not investigate their communist brothers and sisters.

Harsh treatment by the criminal fascist sysndicate occupying Washington is reserved for Christians and conservatives and property owners and gun owners.

And just forget RINO sock puppet state attorney general Cox doing anything about voter fraud. You could lay a dead body at his feet and he’d step over it and think it was a log.

A great thing about the alienated PUMA’s is that since they were once on the inside, most likely a large percentage of them know where to look to find the buried bodies. They should be a great help in uncovering a lot of this vote fraud.

I've seen these creeps here in Philadelphia too. They register anybody and everybody. I think this may be the first election in history where the number of people counting votes in certain areas actually exceeds how many people live in those areas.

How a city like Philadelphia, whose population is shrinking year after year can post higher and higher numbers of registered voters is just shocking. And it should be a huge red flag.
