ACORN!?! Isn’t that the soros funded vote fraud machine from 2004?
On September 7, 2004, a Columbus, Ohio grand jury indicted ACORN employee and felony parolee Kevin Eugene Dooley for election fraud. The indictment charges Dooley forged a signature to a voter registration form.[19]
During the 2004 election, Mac Stuart was working as a coordinator for minority voter outreach for its voter registration effort in Miami-Dade County for ACORN. In the course of his job, Stuart saw ACORN workers copying voter registration form (which was illegal under Florida law) and segregating voter registration forms for Republicans that were not subsequently turned into the County. After Stuart reported these irregularities to the election officials, ACORN fired him. Stuart filed suit against ACORN in May, 2005 for wrongful termination. ACORN countersued for defamation.[20] Stuart's lawsuit was dismissed on the grounds that he couldn't prove in court that he was terminated for reporting the allegations of fraud to the authorities.[21]
In August 2004 a lawsuit was filed in Albuquerque, New Mexico alleging that the policies of the New Mexico Secretary of State, Rebecca Vigil-Giron, improperly exempted individuals who registered to vote through canvassers from requirements that some new registrants submit ID at polling places. In a court case, ACORN director Matt Henderson invoked his Fifth Amendment rights regarding if his group made illegal copies of voter registration cards before submitting them though the Albuquerque Tribune claims he told them this was done.[22] Opinion Journal, Wednesday, September 22, 2004</ref>.
In January 2005 two ex-ACORN workers were convicted in Denver, Colorado of perjury for submitting false voter registrations.[23] Some other investigations responding to fraud allegations ended in Colorado, Wisconsin, Florida, and Ohio after finding no evidence of pervasive voter fraud.
On November 1, 2006, four part time ACORN employees were indicted in Kansas City, Missouri for voter registration fraud, after being caught, fired, and turned in by ACORN. Federal indictments allege two counts each of voter registration fraud. Prosecutors said the indictments are part of a national investigation.[24] ACORN said in a press release that it is in large part responsible in these individuals being caught, and has cooperated and publicly supported efforts to look into the validity of the allegations.[25]
ACORN is also being investigated for submitting false voter registrations in St. Louis, Missouri. 1,492 fraudulent voter registrations have been identified, some from dead and others for underage voters who were not aware they had been registered by ACORN.[26]
In King County, Washington, ACORN is being investigated for filing false registrations. An elections department employee called 400 phone numbers that were provided on the cards from a sample of those turned in by ACORN. Of the 400 phone numbers, all but two were not good numbers, and those two people denied filling out voter registration cards. The registrations were turned in after the deadline to register and the registrations were not processed for the 2006 election.[27]
