The Public Record-Nation/World ^ | Tuesday, October 07, 2008 | Jason Leopold

For the past several weeks, Republican operatives have been stepping up their efforts in critical swing states claiming voter registration groups have been engaged in a massive voter fraud effort in an attempt to influence the outcome of November’s presidential election.

The allegations took on a new sense of urgency Tuesday when law enforcement authorities in Nevada raided the offices of The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), an organization that advocates voter registration and participation among low-income people and minorities.

The excuse I heard Acorn give was that they didn’t have enough resources to moniter all the volunteers.
“Give us more money”,says Acorn!

In other news, a new national Gallup poll finds that 96% of all crooks profess their innocence when initially caught.

MOE is +/- 4 points.

We have to keep the pressure on about this.

CNN actually mentioned ACORN and suspected voter fraud this morning. OMG, they could not ignore it....

Yes, I listen to CNN in the morning to get the daily spin and to see what stunts the left are trying to pull on us.

Not surprising. According to Alinsky, lying is OK.

The end justifies the means, etc.....

With the massive amount of ACORN voter registration fraud in Ohio, and the Democrat secretary of state uninterested in stopping it, Ohio may be a sure thing for Obama, and no Republican has ever won the White House without carrying Ohio. Ken Blackwell on Fox & Friends this morning pointed out how narrow the margin in Ohio was in 1976 and said if Ford had won Ohio he would have been the winner of the election.

There has been massive registration fraud in Nevada too, another swing state. I don't know if any other channels are even covering it, other than Fox.

I went to the ACORN homepage and this was the only thing there that addressed the fraud issues and it was a link to The Public Record. In the story itself there is only one quote from an ACORN spokesperson.

Jason Leopold is the one who convinced a lot of DUmmies that Karl Rove had been indicted. He is where we get the term “24 business hours”

I just called Sen Feinstein’s DC office and told them I don’t want my taxpayer dollars funding the ACORN organization. The reply was “Right, they will not”

That is my interpretation. But blaming it on a few rogue employees is very weak. The problem is systemic, which means that organization practices encourage fraud. The organization is guilt, not just a few loose cannon employees. The head of the organization should be indicted.

How long ago did BHO express interest in running for POTUS? When was he involved in training at ACORN?
