RALEIGH, N.C. — Republican National Committee officials say they aren't surprised to hear a Durham County elections official suspects voter registration forms gathered by a community activist group may be fraudulent.

The RNC's chief counsel, Sean Cairncross, on Friday said the group, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has a history of gathering fraudulent or incomplete voter registration forms. Cairncross disputes ACORN's claim that it is a nonpartisan organization.

The Herald-Sun of Durham reported Friday that Durham County elections director Mike Ashe asked state elections officials to check about 80 registration forms for possible fraud. The registrations were among about 4,000 the group submitted in Durham County over the last couple of months.

Ran into ACORN this week in Charlotte. Tried to sign up my son even though I told him he wasn’t 18.

They should check the entire state’s voter rolls already.

One of the dirty little secrets is the number of illegal aliens registered to vote.

They have been actively recruited by ACORN, La Raza, MeCHa, LULAC and other groups. They just check off the citizenship block and no one asks any questions or seeks documents.

The Republicans are in the Senate minority today because George Allen lost by 9000 votes, a margin more than made up by the number of illegals voting in Virginia.

Virginia Republican politicians are afraid to bring the subject up less they be labeled racists.

At BJ’s on Independence. They backtracked real fast when I told them I was voting for Palin and my son piped up that he would too if he could vote.

Well honestly, wouldn’t you expect to find Democrats at a place called BJ’s?

Erm. Not that I can see, at least not without inappropriate language and visuals that will ruin your supper.

We go to Sam’s Club in Matthews.

Given their history, why has a RICO charge been brought against these Marxists?
