Arrest warrants have been issued in Miami for 11 people suspected of falsifying information on hundreds of voter registration cards last year. The FBI and state authorities were making arrests Wednesday. The workers being sought were hired to register voters by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. Prosecutors say they were first notified by ACORN about problems with workers in June 2008. Republicans and conservative activists have accused ACORN of fraud in voter registration drives around the country. ACORN officials say the Florida case proves the organization is committed to an honest process. The case involved nearly 900 fraudulent voter cards in the Homestead area.

Could this be what Beck was talking about? He’s certainly been investigating ACORN for at least a year.
09-09-09....the day ACORN got slapped!
But, how many of those fraudulent registrations cast a vote? That is the real question and problem.
When will a federal prosecutor start a RICO case?
It’s time to go RICO on them. The IRS needs to audit them and we need to unentangle these hundreds of front groups they have.
900 voter registration cards...that equals 20,000 votes in ACORN’s election process
What’s the word from Miami/Dade DNC Chair BJ Chiszar? I think he worked very closely with ACORN.
I know that in my voting district, they have a record of the times I've voted, although (supposedly) they don't know for whom.
Nothing for the left to worry about here. Holder let the new black panthers in Philly walk for voter intimidation. A little voter fraud prank can’t possibly be important to him.
If ACORN was investigated in every single state, the resulting discoveries of illegal activity, government funded corruption, voter fraud, breaking all manner of constitutional laws, racketeering, bribery, voter intimidation, then it would make the Teapot Dome and Watergate scandals look like high school pranks by comparison.
Why are these acorn nuts still in business? Didn’t they recently change their name to help hide
their criminal acts?
Wake up America!
Does ACORN throw these people under their bus or do they throw them under Obama's bus?
You want Tax cheat Timmy to investigate and expect him to prosecute the hand taht held the chair for him.
hopefully it is just the tip of the iceberg....
Until they go after the true organizers, nothing will change,it is just theater.

11 accused of faking voter registration cards in Miami-Dade
It won’t happen until we get a conservative in there. I don’t know if that is even possible any more.
About bloody time.
The FBI is asleep.
When will the rank and file of ACORN wake up and realize they’re being used? When the poop hits the fan, the guys and gals at the top have no problem throwing the workers under the bus.
That corrupt scumbag Eric Holder will “decline to prosecute”.
Or, at the most, these Ubama animals will get a wrist slap.
Watch.
It’s got to be what Beck was talking about. I wonder if any who is listening to his show could tell us if he is talking about this.
Sounds like the same old thing. The crack heads they hired will go to jail and the true perps will walk away claiming they were victimized.
Well, you have nothing to fear because that is not going to happen (the widespread investigations of ACORN).
Have to agree.
Holder will dismiss charges.
Huh? These animals know exactly what they're doing.
Say it ain’t so, O!
I wonder if the libs will scream for a re-vote now like they did in 2000...or is that only for when they find something REALLY suspicious...like a hanging chad?
The bigger issue is Acorn's lack of accountability, and the lack of oversight, in the funds they've moved around to their various entities. This truly is a corrupt organization in every sense of the word....
900 fraudulent votes in one district is more than enough to SWING THE VOTE.
Rat thieves stole the election..........
Well, let’s see some other news agency report this.
Then, he'll have the DOJ dismiss the charges like they did for the Philadelphia Black Panthers.
ACORN Put A Nut In The Whitehouse
If I were the next President, I would make it my first instruction to my new AG. In fact, I would tell them that was what I wanted as soon as I called them to tell them they were my AG pick: "OK, and as soon as we get you sworn in, you go after Acorn with a knife in your teeth. RICO them until they're dead meat."
The IRS, go after ACORN? ah HA HA HA!
No federal agency will lay a glove on these people.
The state of Fla, maybe. But no fed will do this.
just think what they will do with the census. who is paying for acorn to travel to all these town halls?
They’ve all been promised to be able to personally “get whitey”. This is exactly what they want.
And is this going to be reported by any outlet other than Fox? Probably not. CNN and the networks will not report on this at all, so once again, only those who read blogs, listen to talk radio and watch Fox will even know about this.
I was wondering the same thing!!
Arrest a few lower level grunts and declare the problem solved.
I hear you, but I don’t get how they (the black workers) reconcile in their minds that the people telling them to “get whitey” are white themselves. Oh well, it doesn’t make a dime’s worth of sense to me, but so be it.
I just want this organization destroyed.
Can you say “Presidential Pardon”?
Or, “Justice Department Drops Charges”?
I knew you could.
That’s true. It’s always the low level consigliere’s who are prosecuted, meanwhile the capo’s continue the operations.
bump
Then every state should do it. Forget the people, go after the organization.
Because of the voter fraud allegations against ACORN across the country, ACORN must be denied participation in the upcoming CENSUS.
That's what I thought. Wonder if ACORN "exposed" these 11 to innoculate the organization for 2010/2012? They might have been already suspect and ACORN is using them one more time. Come the next election they will be quick to tell the world: "We turned in our own people. See how honest we are? Now step aside and let us do our job."
