Criminal charges filed against ACORN, two employees [massive voter fraud in 2008]
The Las Vegas Sun ^ | 2009-05-04 | Mary Manning

Posted on 05/04/2009 12:28:51 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto and Secretary of State Ross Miller announced Monday that voter registration fraud charges have been filed against an organization that works with low-income people and two of its employees in its Las Vegas office.

The complaint includes 26 counts of voter fraud and 13 counts for compensating those registering voters, both felonies.

The Association of Community Organization for Reform Now, Inc., also known as ACORN, operated a Las Vegas office that helped register low-income voters last year.

Throughout 2008, ACORN employed canvassers to register people to vote in Nevada, the complaint said. ACORN paid the canvassers between $8 and $9 an hour, but made continued employment and continued compensation based on the canvasser registering 20 voters per shift. Those who failed to sign up 20 voters per shift were terminated, the complaint said.

If only other Attorney Generals would have the gumption to investigate Acorn's involvement with voting in their states.

What happened to the other cities and states that cited irregularities with Acorn?

Gee, let’s see. You have to be 18 and an American citizen to vote...uhhh, maybe a driver’s license is required to vote?
Nah, they’ll find a way around that as well....

Hey, according to this administration, and the DNC, including the FEC, dead people and people that do not exist have voting rights too!!!

Just another socialist interpretation of the Constitution....to suit their agenda, of course.

Hey, I hope that was satire, for your sake. If so, you have until June 30 before satire is outlawed. Until then, you’ve likely committed a hate speech against the dead and the nonexistent.

If we had a functioning U.S. Justice Department, individual states would not have had to take this action. This is broad-spread, and an interstate conspiracy to defraud that goes all the way to the very top IMO. Not only should it take down individual players, but politicians, and even a political party in particular.

It’s my opinion that we have no idea how deep the public funds go to support the various tentacles of the leftists in the United States. One of them is intertwined in our K-12th grade education system. Another has a firm grip on our universities. I believe many of the land conservancies and other leftist special causes have been funded by the public, to the leftist political gain.

This should be of no surprise to either major political party and their players. It’s one of the things that causes me to have an underlying mistrust of Republican politicians.

Acorn is a communist group fronted by Working Families who Hillary also ran on the ticket of Working Families as well as the Democratic ticket. Working Families came about because the original one(forget it’s name)in Chicago went defunct; but not before they started grooming one of it’s members, Obama, for the POTUS

Freeze ACORN’s assets and use them to reregister every person in Nevada.

The voter rolls have been corrupted and need to be purged. Make ACORN pay for it.

I wish we could get an injunction to stop ACORN’S involvement in the census. There is plenty of evidence in their history to allow one. The states don’t foresee the damage that ACORN is going to do. The outcomes of the census will affect us in ways we cannot yet imagine.

I’ve written my state and federal representatives asking them to take action, but haven’t received a response. Shocking, I know.

ACORN paid the canvassers between $8 and $9 an hour.

NO! The American taxpayer paid between $8 and $9 an hour for these criminals.

I don't quite understand why this is illegal -- is this against the law because it encourages fraudulent behavior? Obviously as a voter-registration org they should know the laws surrounding the field they're involved in, and it looks like they really stepped in it here. I just don't quite understand why it's illegal to require that people who are being paid to register people to vote register a minimum number of people to vote.

DA, feeling stupid.

Wonder if the liberals will doing anything about all the fraud in the voting since there were many who voted who were probably not Americans...and NEITHER IS THE PRESIDENT! So, non-Americans, or criminals, voting for a non-American criminal minded/criminal friend might be considered moot. I mean, that is the liberal logic nowadays. The prez was truly picked by his "peers."

Pffft. Nothing to it. The administration would simply empanel, claim they swore in, and provide character witnesses for any number of “anonymous sources” and “unnamed spokescorpses” and elevate their testimony above that of any actual living witnesses. Following that, those corpses would be granted generous UAW or SEIU pensions, retroactively, for their many years of dedicated service; either at Chrylser or as firemen for a nonexistent town which has since been incorporated into some county in Louisiana which is curently under about 6 feet of water and whose records have been unfortunately waterlogged and lost. Those corpses, having died without leaving any actual heirs, would suddenly appear, oddly, to have taken cashouts on their pensions to Barney Frank and Chris Dodd just before their recent demise(s). Case closed!

This is absolutely true and very important. All the government unions collude with the socialist agenda - in their own interests and to the country’s demise. And the people (so far) and the courts look the other way - as if any of its legal.
