ACORN Turns in Florida Workers on Voter Fraud Charges
FOXNEWS.COM ^ | 09/09/09 | FOXNEWS

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.

But, how many of those fraudulent registrations cast a vote? That is the real question and problem.

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.

What’s the word from Miami/Dade DNC Chair BJ Chiszar? I think he worked very closely with ACORN.

Why would you register fraudulently and then not use the vote?

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?

They know they are in trouble, these guys are like mystery crew men in a star trek episode.........a expendable offering.

Until they go after the true organizers, nothing will change,it is just theater.

It won’t happen until we get a conservative in there. I don’t know if that is even possible any more.
