CLEVELAND - A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws.
"Sometimes, they come up and bribe me with a cigarette, or they'll give me a dollar to sign up," said Freddie Johnson, 19, who filled out 72 separate voter-registration cards over an 18-month period at the behest of the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
"The ACORN people are everywhere, looking to sign people up. I tell them I am already registered. The girl said, 'You are?' I say, 'Yup,' and then they say, 'Can you just sign up again?' " he said.
Johnson used the same information on all of his registration cards, and officials say they usually catch and toss out duplicate registrations. But the practice sparks fear that some multiple registrants could provide different information and vote more than once by absentee ballot.
ACORN is under investigation in Ohio and at least eight other states - including Missouri, where the FBI said it's planning to look into potential voter fraud - for over-the-top efforts to get as many names as possible on the voter rolls regardless of whether a person is registered or eligible

Wouldn’t it be a shame (not to mention racist) if someone photoshopped Obama’s face onto Idi’s body. Gosh, I hope no one does that.

Do it! Do it!
Didn't that slogan originate in the Democrat political machine of Chicago?
Associate with terrorists, receive illegal overseas contributions and try to steal an election.
Priceless.
Is the Idi “I’ll eat your liver” Amin?
If he used his real information each time, it is not a violation at all.
Like when I was in the army, and every time I went to a new post, I had to register for the draft.
I kept saying “...but I am in the Army? I am a paratrooper in the 82 ABD? What are they going to do, make me a private and push me out of an airplane?”
IOW, the guy seems to have scammed ACORN, not the voting system.
Good for him.
the =that. Where’s my coffee?
SOMEBODY has to step on and call this what it is. An attempt by DEMOCRATS to steal an election.
= ==
In other words, DIMRATS acting normally . . . traitorously.
That's my read.
. . . image interpretation . . .
“Will somebody please tell me that it’s long enough now?”
With some fava beans and a nice chianti..............
Man, they sure like their BLING don’t they?
This is an isolated case.
Nothing to see here folks.
Move along.
At the heart of this is the stated goal of ACORN to register record numbers of voters; meeting this goal will gain them more love-offerings in the form of donations and grow their movement.
Not even the dull-est ARD could think these derelicts and street bums will actually cast multiple votes.
What’s truly incredible is that they haven’t been shut down by the state attorneys general nationwide for their blatant violations of election law.
I CALL FOR OFFICES NATIONWIDE OF A.C.O.R.N. TO BE "FREEPED"
With signs, bullhorns, press releases, American flags, and everything. These might be in inner cities, folks, so bring your flak jackets. I would be there to organize it if I could. This is an attack on the United States of America and our Constitution.
Be ready for anything, but at all costs, get the TV cameras there.

Sounds like the "Chicago way"...
I am beginning (beginning?) to think that yesterday’s freep rumor that there was a pending RICO case was wishful thinking.
Their site is very slow for some reason, as I am checking for office locations. GET ON IT. CALL LOCAL TV, FOX!!!!
That's a simple, comprehensible fact, that should be repeated early and often.
