Nevada state authorities seized records and computers Tuesday from the Las Vegas office of an organization that tries to get low-income people registered to vote, after fielding complaints of voter fraud.
Bob Walsh, spokesman for the Nevada secretary of state's office, told FOXNews.com the raid was prompted by ongoing complaints about "erroneous" registration information being submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.
The group was submitting the information through a voter sign-up drive known as Project Vote.
"Some of them used nonexistent names, some of them used false addresses and some of them were duplicates of previously filed applications," Walsh said, describing the complaints, which largely came from the registrar in Clark County, Nev. He said some registrations used the names of Dallas Cowboys football players.
Walsh said agents from both the secretary of state's office and Nevada attorney general's office conducted the raid, and "took a bunch of stuff."
ACORN spokesman Charles Jackson confirmed the group's Nevada office was raided.
It's not the first time ACORN's been under investigation for irregularities in registration records.
In 2006, ACORN committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the "worse case of election fraud" in the state's history.

GET
THAT
POPCORN!!!!
Sounds like the left knows a bit more about correct poll numbers than the MSM is willing to share.
Awesome!! I really hope McCain raises Obama’s involvement with ACORN and ACORN’s role in voter fraud and the sub-prime meltdown tonight.
This outfit is a total joke!
you should try mixing the chocolate rasins w/ it, taste GREAT!!
I’m praying hard that they hit the motherload of memos, plans, collusion with Obama, etc...
I’d say that’s worth a point or two for McCain/Palin in Nevada. :-)
If you find a coordinated effort to deprive someone of their civil rights, can’t they be taken down under the same laws that have been used against the KKK and other hate groups?
Exactly WHAT does this group have to DO to be forced to disband?
We are still giving them taxpayer money AND raiding them at the same time?
Good point. For all the talk about Obama’s leads in polls in the drive-by media, the Obama people sure are VERY defensive about Ayers and Fannie/Freddie, and groups like ACORN are on the warpath, trying to get fraudulent votes. It doesn’t sound like they’re confident.
Personally, I believe the polls, and think Obama is ahead, however the behavior of the Left suggests that they know better. We’ll see....
I'm sure he'll try, though.
This is not the ACORN that I knew....

A major part of ACORN’s sordid history is vote fraud. ACORN has been implicated in voter fraud and bogus registration schemes in Missouri, Ohio and at least 12 other states. Last July, ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in Washington state history, involving nearly 2,000 bogus voter forms.
In Ohio in 2004, ACORN submitted forms for the likes of Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and someone named Jive Turkey.
Bet they found a lot of useless nuts...
JiveTurkey is my 5th cousin, twice removed ...

Bring it up tonight to demonstrate the consistent association obama has with corruption.
LOL! Exactly! And his accomplices in the media let him get away with it and never call him on it.
It's getting awfully crowded under that bus...
“ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in Washington state history, involving nearly 2,000 bogus voter forms.”
And Governor Christine Gregoire (D-Soros) remains in office...lauging herself silly.
