US election officials believe they have uncovered massive attempted voter fraud less than a month before the country goes to the polls to choose its new president.
Eleven separate investigations have now been launched into a voter registration group called the Association of Community Organisations for Reform – or Acorn.
The authorities believe they may have duplicated voter forms, employed convicts to register people and even stolen the names of the American football team the Dallas Cowboys in order to create fake voters.
The suspicions started when authorities in Las Vegas raided the organisation's offices, removing eight computer hard drives and several boxes of documents.
Acorn called the raid "a stunt that serves no useful purpose other than discredit our work".
They suggested the investigations into them were politically motivated.
But the concerns about dodgy election papers started to spread to other states.
Authorities in Indiana said they had concerns about roughly a thousand voters registered by the group there.
And Fox News reporters in the state of Missouri found 10 registration documents with the same name and signature.
Acorn has registered up to 1.3 million voters across the US so far.
They have offices in 41 states and Washington DC and focus on low income, African American and Latino communities.
They claim to be a politically neutral organisation but many commentators describe them as left wing.
And their workers have been found guilty of voter fraud in the past.
Last year five Acorn employees were sent to prison in Washington State after they went into the Seattle public library and used records to create 1,800 fake registration documents.
Before the raid in Las Vegas, lawyers acting for the state authorities tracked down former Acorn workers.

ACORN is about as politically neutral as the NAACP. ....and about as far left as CPUSA.

If their suspicions did not start until then, the "authorities" are NO authorities, and are too stupid to be in positions of power.
To allow this crap to continue for the last 8 years, gaining momentum along the way, is criminal!
Exactly! They should be stopped NOW and NO FED MONEY FOR ACORN NOW OR EVER!!
Bookmarked. Again.
ACORN and voter fraud. Again.
MSM ignoring voter fraud. Again.
I’ve got no problem with instituting the death penalty for voter fraud. In fact, more generally, we should bring back the tradition of hanging in the public square.
Voter fraud disenfranchises legitimate voters.
When dems do everything they can to stop efforts to eliminate voter fraud,
they are putting the lie to their claim that they want to minimize voter disenfranchisement.
That’s always been a lie, anyway. What they mean by that is that they want ineligible voters to have the franchise.
If it’s a quad, that would be 2 upstairs and 2 down.
That's a strange way to build an outhouse, but Brits are Brits...

I do too, which is why I went looking for it after reading your tagline.
I crank it up on my trike and just sing my little heart out while riding....LOL!
[no one can hear, thank heaven]
I've no trike, but am guilty of belting out whatever tune is playing. If I'm nowhere near home & people hear me, is no big deal. I ignore the funny looks. If they don't wanna hear my singing, they can close their windows. ;o)
Why do I always end up on YouTube for hours, searching for songs when I run into you here on FR? LOL

It’s just our own “special connection”, I reckon....:)

Time to have everyone present a photo ID when voting. Or have an eye scan, fingerprinting check.
