ACORN voter fraud allegation surfaces in Minnesota
Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) ^ | 10/14/08 | Paul Walsh - Staff Reporter

The ACORN voter fraud dispute that has surfaced in many states this election season has now come up in Minnesota.

The Hennepin County attorney's office said this afternoon that is investigating an allegation that an individual with the ACORN grass-roots community organization "did not fully comply with Minnesota voter registration rules."

County Attorney Mike Freeman will be briefing reporters in more detail later this afternoon.

Anyone else find the label “grass-roots” laughable when applied to ACORN? I thought grass-roots meant that the organization (and funding!) came up from concerned citizens. ACORN is a nationwide concern (with voter fraud in over a dozen states and counting), that gets much if not most of its funding from Federal “grants” and donations like BO’s $800K.

Opinion?


Bush the younger has held office for what, almost eight years?

He has allowed a foreign invasion of our country to go unchecked, as well as kept a hands off attitude while Acorn & associates help steal taxpayers money, and corrupt our voting processes.

Can this guy play a fiddle, or what?

Well, we ARE only one of 2 states that let some guy in line to vote “vouch” for your citizenship here.

Keith Ellison is opposed to any and all photo-ID requirements to vote.

It’s like McDonalds here: ACORN is ‘luvin it’.

...the stealing of an Americans sacred right going unpunished!

MSM and moonbats see it as tit for tat for Florida 2000. Bush stole an election...now it's their turn.

Unless those concerned citizens are conservative. Then it's just the "lowest common denominator" acting up.

Yes, but I think we need to get the media to cover this, not just Foxnews. I think this is a HUGE story about VOTER FRAUD in the most hideaous way....it exposes the democrats for what they really are - crooks, frauds. ARG! Let’s get out media contact list rev’d up, folks! McCain has to WIN this!

Cut and paste these for starters....

Keith Ellison is opposed to any and all photo-ID requirements to vote.

IE, he insists on the right to cheat in elections. There is no legitimate reason to oppose voter photo identification.

That’s not the ACORN I knew. However, I could never disown ACORN anymore than I could disown the NAACP.

Agreed, but Florida 2000 was the groundwork for this very moment. Florida 2000 was planned well in advance as was Ohio 04.
They will treat those 2 elections as case law in their prosecution and conviction of freedom and liberty.
Make no mistake whats at stake!

The seriousness of voter fraud can not be ignored and should command “LIFE IN PRISON” for anyone convicted. No immunity, period.

No sense complaining to Congress though. Hell, most of the Democrats there probably GOT there through voting fraud.

I read one website where a liberal commented about this ACORN issue: "Voter fraud registration is meaningless because it's not voter fraud."

You do that math! ;-)

Sad, isn’t it. Let’s just sit back and watch the company be overtaken by fraud. But we haven’t been attacked by muslims since 9/11. I know that means a lot but it ain’t everything.

Hey - if you take away voter fraud Democrats won’t get elected. So what are the chances of any real reform?

This is getting scary. This entire election has been rendered pointless, and YOU- yes, law abiding American citizen- are being duped by a country that is going to stand by and do nothing. Your LEGAL vote won’t count because of the illegal voters registered by ACORN.

Limbaugh basically covered this today. There are two parts to the process.

The first part is massive fraudulent voter registration. The people collecting the signatures collect a lot of fraudulent registrations and turn them in as voters.

The second part comes when the polls close. There will be a lot of blank ballots at the poll, but the voters on the registration pages haven't showed up. So, the crooked poll workers simply fill out the spare ballots and throw the elections to Democrats.

You can see why a certain party distrusts electronic voting because they can't stuff the ballot box as easily.
