CLEVELAND An organization under scrutiny across the country for voter registration irregularities has told Ohio election officials it cannot eliminate fraud from its operations.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, blamed inefficiency and lack of resources for problems including duplicate registrations and workers filling out registration cards to make quotas.
The group, which works to get low-income people to vote, has turned in at least 65,000 cards to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections in Cleveland in the last year. The board has investigated potentially fraudulent cards since August and reviewed the situation Tuesday.
ACORN’s chief Cleveland organizer, Kris Harsh, says the group can’t be expected to catch everything.

65,000 turned in and if the Minesota sample holds true, MORE THAN half are fakes.
the head of ACORN said:"Why should we ELIMINATE FRAUD, if the GREAT SOCIALIST/MARXIST Barak HUSSIEN OBAMA wins. We are ANTI-AMERICAN COMMUNISTS and we are RIOTING NOW!!", before going inside with 100 more new voters signatures from George Washington to Nero.
