I bet ANYTHING that ACORN, corrupt as it is, is not a dirty as the ‘official’ Obama GOTV workers.
I’m sure there were some Republicans doing this, right?
B-b-b-b-b-but BHO says that his campaign is HONEST!!!
Is this the first we have heard of in Colorado? I do not remember any from CO before this report.
Hillary Clinton's campaign accused Obama's people of election fraud. Google on "Lyn Utrecht" (her campaign counsel) and "Obama."
He registered in Fla. No word on Minnie.
Huckberry Finn and Tom Sawyer will be next.
Obama cut his community organizer teeth with ACORN. As a young lawyer he represented the group in a suit against the state of Illinois, which was concerned that postcard registration and a new motor voter law might invite fraud. ACORN later invited Obama to train its staff in leadership seminars.
ACORN has a political arm that endorsed Barack Obama for president in February and has stepped up its registration efforts to help elect a future benefactor. The Obama campaign admits to failing to report $800,000 in campaign payments to ACORN. They were disguised as payments to a front group called “Citizen Services Inc.” for “advance work.”
Consumer Rights League official Jim Terry says: “ACORN has a long and sordid history of employing convoluted Enron-style accounting to illegally use taxpayer funds for their own political gain. Now it looks like ACORN is using the same type of convoluted accounting scheme for Obama’s political gain.”
A major part of ACORN’s sordid history is vote fraud. ACORN has been implicated in voter fraud and bogus registration schemes in Missouri, Ohio and at least 12 other states. Last July, ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in Washington state history, involving nearly 2,000 bogus voter forms. In Ohio in 2004, ACORN submitted forms for the likes of Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and someone named Jive Turkey.

FRAUD BY THE LEFT IS HUGE, FOLKS! WE NEED TO STAY ON TOP OF THIS - RELENTLESSLY!
There should be law enforcement at each polling site to arrest Mickey and everyone else using false id when they come in to vote. They should also be hand stamped with permenant ink showing they cast their one vote.
a community organizing group that has been accused of involvement in problematic voter registrations in several hotly contested states, including Colorado, Indiana, Nevada and North Carolina.
The group, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or Acorn, has long been a favorite target of conservatives. It made news this year when it was revealed that a brother of Acorns founder had embezzled almost $1 million from the organization but that Acorn had failed to disclose the theft for eight years.

I will look for more specific examples.
I have to ask how many of the “registrants” ever heard of Rip Van Winkle? This is obviously someone with a little bit of smarts filling these things out.
This also has to go to the election officials, too. Someone has to fill these ballots out the night of the election.
Apparently there are links between ACORN and the Annenberg money. Do a search on Walter and Leonore Annenberg and see for yourselves just how high up this goes.
” showing they cast their one vote.”
I think this is a scam aimed at flooding vote officials with so much cr@p, at the last minute, that the officials are unable to do their job in an effective way. The real problem is likely to be with mail in ballots. Once those ballots are pulled from their envelopes, the trail has gone suddenly cold. And the officials, because they’re swamped with bogus schit, won’t be able to sort the wheat from the chaff in a timely manner.
Well, of course that’s the reason.
