The FBI is investigating whether the community activist group ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud around the nation before the presidential election.

A senior law enforcement official confirmed the investigation to The Associated Press on Thursday. A second senior law enforcement official says the FBI was looking at results of recent raids on ACORN offices in several states for any evidence of a coordinated national scam.

I would love to see the upper echelon of ACORN hauled off to federal prison in handcuffs.

News to Rush, in Lake County all 5 thousand, yes all 5 thousand submitted voter registrations were deemed to be fraudulent. That is not an error or a mistake and the supervisors and managers of the canvassers submitted those applications to the county to be registered. That is fraud. That is going on everywhere. FBI can not sweep that under the rug because if they tried, it would make the JFK lone gun shooter theory look minuscule in comparison.

So I heard on Rush that a woman in Ohio has admitted to concealing 200,000 questionable voter registrations!

ACORN leaves a trail.

And, operationally, we know that ACORN is savy enough to plant enough fake Republican voter registrations in there to cause doubt about it being a “Democrat” conspiracy. It’s called disinformation and was used very effectively by the KGB.

it'll be too late...half the lame brains in the country will have voted by then...some of them many, many times....

however, I still think McPalin win.....it could even be a landslide, and it most certainly will be a large majority of popular vote IMHO anyway.....(crossing fingers and hope to dies)

Yes it did but that was submitted by voters. This will come from the feds.

This is not just any woman. This is the Ohio Secretary of State.

I truly think this is what is skewing the polls, and why they’re overweighting them for Dems.

Part of the problem is that the FBI is probably a bit more conservative than the rest of the country. But, the DOJ is a lot more liberal than the rest of the country.AND, guess who controls both of their budgets?
And, who stands to lose the most if this smelly mess ever sees the light of day.
I doubt we’ll ever see the bottom of this.

Thank God those 5,000 fraud votes were intercepted-
they won’t be counted, right?

No matter how this turns out, the end result will be very ugly.

Can we call it "Obamageddon?"

sit back and watch the tide turn in the final three weeks.

I dont think so. After all it's just democrats not playing by the rules, so nothing will happen as usual.

Close...I'll fix it for you.

I would love to see the upper echelon of ACORN returned to federal prison in handcuffs.

I sure hope not because they are not good registrations.

"Bout F-—ING TIME! Where’s the RICO?!?!"

Hopefully coming down soon... since the FBI is involved it indicates that the suspect actions were occurring/coordinated across state lines, thus the federal jurisdiction. That would indicate that Uncle RICO could be on his way.

“WE ARE STILL THE VAST MAJORITY”

As the fraud grows to staggering numbers in well planned strategy involving select states and select election boards, I fear we are becoming a half vast majority.

Or even, at the ballot box, a losing minority
