ACORN Voter Registration Probe (Michigan, Indiana)
weyi ^ | October 10, 2008 | Tia Ewing

Just 26 days until the presidential election; allegations of voter registration fraud in at least 12 states, including Michigan.

ACORN is known for helping lower income families get homes and aiding minorities.

Now the organization is being accused of falsely registering voters.

In Nevada, the Secretary of State said members from the Dallas Cowboys were falsely registered; reports say it happened in Michigan too.

The probe into voter registration fraud started Tuesday in Nevada as state agents searched the office of ACORN.

Traditionally the organization registers those who are economically disadvantaged and minorities.

For this year’s presidential election in Michigan alone, ACORN gathered nearly 215,000 voters.

The organization is accused of turning in voter registrations with fake and duplicate names.

A state liaison for Michigan ACORN today, says the organization hires workers to help collect names and if a fake name is registered, no one would be able to use it at the polls.

He feels the issue should be, to make sure everyone eligible can vote.

"There have been some workers that have cheated the organization, our policy is to separate cards that we deem problematic from appropriate when we communicate with City Clerks and Board of Elections, “ said Dave Lagstein, Michigan ACORN Head Organizer.

“We did that in Nevada the response from those elected officials was slow and all of a sudden they felt it was appropriate to make a raid."

As of right now the investigation is turning up more bogus registration forms, today 2,000 were discovered in Indiana.

The news this AM said that there are investigations in 14 states. Everybody keeps forgetting Wisconsin. We’ve had problems with ACORN for several years and our Governor prevents election officials from doing anything about it.

If anyone expects that RINO poodle Mike Cox, state attorney general, to investigate voter fraud, forget it.

The bureaucrats, the politicians, many businesses and the liberal voters are all thieves and liars. And Mike Cox sits on his fat liberal, paid-off ass and does nothing.

The shyster lawyers in this state openly advertise that they’ll find a crooked quack to qualify you for workmen’s comp or SS disability.

The entire state is one big RICO case. Anyone who opens a business here is either a crook or insane.

Wonder how many states ACORN is active in? That will be how many states have significant voter registration fraud.

So frustrating...many of these states don’t even require id to vote. ACORN is working both sides...they’ve got folks registering fake names, have folks at the polls “checking people in”, and have folks walking up using the fake names they registered. It’s all an inside job and it’s happening before our eyes and there is little being done to stop it. Any person found guilty of vote fraud should be tried for TREASON...make this announcement public to head off the coming tsunami.
