Conn. looking into voter cards submitted by ACORN
Hartford Courant ^ | 10-9-2008

HARTFORD, Conn. - The State Elections Enforcement Commission is looking into a complaint alleging that a community advocacy group submitted fraudulent voter registration cards in Bridgeport.

Joseph Borges, Bridgeport's Republican registrar of voters, filed the complaint. He said he has found problems with numerous voter registration cards submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which works to register low-income people.

In one instance, he says a card was filled out for a 7-year-old girl, whose age was listed as 27 on the card.

ACORN filed more than 8,000 cards in Bridgeport. The complaint involves 10, but Borges said there were problems with many others.

The group, which said it has registered some 1.3 million voters nationwide this year, is facing similar allegations in several other states including Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina, New Mexico, Michigan, Ohio and Missouri.

I searched for posts on this but didn't find anything. If this isn't considered "breaking news" I apologize.

This sounds like a “subprime” voter melt down to me.

Does anyone on FR know how registering all these fake people works to ACORN’s advantage? Say I am one of their workers and register 1,000 fake names. Do do real people then apply for absentee ballots? or do they go to the polls on election day and vote say 10 times as one of the fake names? Please explain. Otherwise all their efforts just pad the registered voters list in each of these states.

Voter fraud by a socialist group in a state governed by socialists? who’d a thunk it?

Ballots go out to addresses, and are used by the ACORN people. At least that is what was discussed on a local radio station this week.

Register in various different precincts and travel around on election day and vote in each one? That’d be my guess. If you registered several times in the same precinct, you might get recognized after a while.

At this point, I don’t think Obama/Ayers even care if he wins outright. Anything close will be hotly contested, leading very likely to Kenya-style violent street riots.

Wrecking the USA is their goal, and this will work as well as any way.

I think they got around a thousand bad registrations in the Pittsburgh area, too. But what the hey—no one will be prosecuted—it’s a community activist organization supported by Obama. And in the AJC tonight, the feds are apparently going to put the lid on voter ID in Georgia. No need to be alive or a citizen of the country to vote, is there?

This election is headed for the Supreme Court.

The loser will claim one thing and the winner will still stick it to the people.

Can’t wait.

Most of these democrat counties don’t doany cross-checking. My daughter was registered at 2 different addresses in the same county. They don’t check these things. Leave out your middle initial and voila, you got 2 votes.

The integrity of our voting system forms a fundamental pillar of our republic.

these aholes are playing with fire. Millions have sacrificed all for the privelege. There will be hell to pay. If you think this financial situation is bad, wait til our republic is overthrown by marxist criminals.

disgusted...

You would expect this from a corrupt political organization.

You souldn’t expect our taxpayer dollars being given to a proven political corrupt organization by our gov’t.
