Obama and the left cranking up the vote fraud machine

It's happening in Michigan

Several municipal clerks across the state are reporting fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications, most of them from a nationwide community activist group working to help low- and moderate-income families.

The majority of the problem applications are coming from the group ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which has a large voter registration program among its many social service programs. ACORN's Michigan branch, based in Detroit, has enrolled 200,000 voters statewide in recent months, mostly with the use of paid, part-time employees.

"There appears to be a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications," said Kelly Chesney, spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary of State's Office. "And it appears to be widespread."

And check this out, from the end of the piece:

Lagstein said ACORN's Detroit office has hired dozens of employees for the voter registration program and that any problems likely stem from sloppiness or incompetence -- not an intent to let people vote more than once.

Oh really? Just an accident? Then how do you explain the fact that ACORN has been involved in at least 20 vote fraud incidents—including arrests and convictions—just since 1998? Oh, and Obama was a “leadership trainer” for ACORN. How lovely.

While we're on the subject, some of you may have missed this (we did):

Obama receives illegal funds from 'terrorist hotbed'

Obama received more than $24,000 in campaign contributions over a period of two months last fall from three Palestinian brothers from the "Edwan" family in Rafah, Gaza, which is a Hamas stronghold along the border with Egypt. The story was uncovered by Pamela Geller of the Atlas Shrugs blog. (see Federal Election Commission report)

Attorney and conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel notes foreign nationals are barred from making contributions in connection with any election -- federal, state, or local -- and an individual is allowed to give only $2,300 per election to a federal candidate or the candidate's campaign committee.

"The donations are basically through and through illegal -- that's number one. And number two is how the Obama campaign tried to conceal it," Schlussel chides. "They listed the campaign contributions as coming from Rafah, Georgia. They used the 'GA' from Gaza so it makes it look like it's legal; and then for the zip code it says '972,' which is actually the area code to dial over to Gaza," she contends.

Unbelievable what you can get away with when the media wants you to win.

This is the #1 priority for the Dem Party. They know they cannot win an election "straight up" and this is the only way they win. Why do you think the last 2 elections have been so close...Dem Vote Fraud Machine. They have tried to get there every time this way. Rove has predicted the race wrong every time because of this. Zogby is an "insider" so that is why he has been getting it right as of late at the end.

If it is not close and it looks like Obama is imploding, McCain will win but I am telling you it will be another "close" election because of the vote fraud machine by the Dems.

Here is a post in 2002 that will make your head spin:
