ACORN Submits 2,000 to 5,000 Fake Registration Forms in Indiana?
ACORN Watch:
More than 2,000 voter registration forms filed in northern Indiana's Lake County by a liberal activist group this week have turned out to be bogus, election officials said Thursday.
The group the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN already faces allegations of filing fraudulent voter registrations in Nevada and faces investigations in other states.
And in Lake County, home to the long-depressed steel town of Gary, the bipartisan Elections Board has stopped processing a stack of about 5,000 applications delivered just before the October 6 registration deadline after the first 2,100 turned out to be phony.
"All the signatures looked exactly the same," Ruthann Hoagland, a Republican on the board. "Everything on the card filled out looks exactly the same."
Drew Griffin, investigative reporter for CNN, is en fuego lately, having already turned in one of the best, fairest, and most detailed profiles of Barack Obama's relationship with William Ayers a few days ago.
I just hope the Republicans keep doing their job of weeding out this fraud - it seems like a very big job.
ACORN is trying incite a war by flooding the polls with bogus registrations the same way they flooded and crashed the housing market with bogus mortgages.
The pollsters include the number of NEW REGISTRATIONS into their poll calculations. That puts Oboma in the lead because of this ACORN manipulation, even though it's not real.
Remember, the left is saying if Oboma is 5 points ahead in the polls before the election and loses, there will be violence - left wing violence. ACORN and other liberal groups may be deliberately planning and trying to incite a civil war. If they can take down the economy, maybe they think they can take down an entire government.
The left gives all credit to Lucifer, because they say he was the first radical to brake all the rules and actually end up inheriting his own kingdom because of it.
they know for the most part no one really looks at or cares
“All the signatures looked exactly the same,” Ruthann Hoagland, a Republican on the board. “Everything on the card filled out looks exactly the same.”
well, I wonder what Democrats on the board would say about it.
let’s guess
1) we are not handwriting experts, and we should accept these registrations unless and until they have been proven fraudulent in a court of law
2) the Republican who made the statement quoted above is a RACIST and is trying to disenfranchise voters
3) the EVIL Republicans have stolen the last 2 elections and we are not going to allow them to steal this one
4) etc...ad infinitum....until everyone gives up and goes home
I think this is a diversionary tactic, to mask other activities. What activity? Dunno, my mind doesn’t work like Acorn.
IOW, I believe that this is a DOS on the election boards to demoralize them.
Everything you say is right on. I have an uneasy feeling that what’s going on in our economy was deliberate and planned...
"All-in-all, a great person, a great woman, just a wonderful person" is how Alexis Guidry described her mother to Local 2 Investigates.
"As far back as I can remember, they've always voted in the election," Guidry said of her parents.
The March 2008 Primary was no exception. Voting records show Alexis' mom, Gloria Guidry, cast her ballot in person near her South Houston home.
"It was just very shocking, a little unsettling," said Alexis Guidry.
It's unsettling because Gloria Guidry died of cancer 10 months before the March Primary. "She'd be very upset," Guidry said when asked what her mom would think.
Trent Seibert, of Texas Watchdog, says you should be too.
Well it’s not their fault that people are registering illegally.
Now pay your taxes - the good people at ACORN need raises. :D
"Every Obama supporter is gonna vote 80 times each.
And there is NOTHING you can do about it."
Why isn’t anyone using this ACORN story to push for mandatory nationwide voter id laws? This is the fix for fraudlent ballots.
These are in precincts where the election officials are apparently honest, and where there are Republicans to check up on what is happening.
How many fake registrations have been filed in the inner city, where the election authorities will eagerly cooperate with the fraud?
It’s what I’ve been worried about for the past couple of months. This is the kind of thing that Obama has done for a living, ever since he left Harvard.
“This is the fix for fraudlent ballots.”
I for one would be happy to dip my finger in purple ink.
Don’t you know that picture ID cards would be racist if we used them to stop voter fraud! /s
i think their strategy is to overwhelm the system and then to complain that the few authentic registrations they sprinkled in were improperly rejected, thus disenfranchising the legitimate voters.
They will then use that to contest the legitimacy of McCain/Palin’s election.
“Hello, you have reached the Voter Registration Office of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Please press ‘2’ if you wish to register twice, ‘3’ if you wish to register three times, ‘4’ if you wish to register four times, and so on.”
Is this what's referred to as a "sea change"?
Declare the place a disaster area and send in the national guard to sort out the mess.
Though states may not require photo ID, can the FEDS require photot ID for the presidential section?
