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.

You know, by this time I would think all of these poor and minority class workers would start thinking that the democratic party is doing them no favors as in they are still where they started from. If I were them; I would not vote for Obama. They aren’t going to get better; they are going to get worse.

I don’t think FBI is capable at all. They are way too much compromised politically.

“The FBI is probably scouring the evidence to find a few cases of GOP fraud just to make the investigation seem evenhanded.”

Yup.. The FBI can investigate that Congressman in Florida who fired his worker.. No wait that was a Democrat.

No, no... The FBI can investigate the Congressman from NY with the tax issues.. Oops, also a Democrat.

Ahh, Got it... The FBI can investigate the Congressman from Louisiana with the 90k stashed in his freezer. Huh? A Democrat you say?

What happened to the culture of corruption?

If there is substantial evidence that voter fraud has occurred via ACORN on a large magnitude and that it ACORN coordinated this across state lines, the FBI should be obligated to do something NOW before the election. After 11/4, it is too late.

The public has a right to know and deserves to know before election day.

Perhaps I disunderstand.

ACORN registers hundreds/thousands of phony voters. This swells the registration numbers and makes it appear that there are more dem voters than there really are.

Does anyone think these frauds will actually go to the polls and vote? Sure some will but the presence of poll watchers and signs placed >50’ from the poll stating that fraudulent voters will be punished to the fullest extent of the law, will slow the tide.

So the only real affect is to provide FALSE pre-election voter data, swinging the apparent ratio of dem/rep in the direction of dems.

Therefore, dems are sampled at an unrealistically high number and when the vote actually takes place, they will be much lower than predicted.

Am I wrong?

HELP!

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

If there was systemic policies in place, then they should. I believe this is systemic throughout the organization, not just a few lousy Acorns on the Oak Tree.

That would indicate that Uncle RICO could be on his way.

If so, who's gonna watch Napoleon and Kip while Grandma's gone?

“I am afraid it will be a - Nothing to see here. Move along.”

I hate to agree but i feel the same way.

There are to many commie libtards planted throughout our government to allow anything to come of this.

What do community organizers do? They create and submit bogus voter registrations to f-up the election process. That’s what community organizers do.

Perhaps, but let's not forget that the Dems political influence in the DoJ is not derived through a relationship with the DNC, but rather a certain former president who happened to appoint the vast majority of the current US Attorneys...oh, and he has a wife that may have an interest in putting this investigation on the fast track.

Many states have received massive numbers of mailed in votes, others are entitled to receive votes by mail from registered voters.

The Ohio case now before the USSC (pray) involves 200,000 mailed in votes. Once the envelopes are opened, the votes must be counted and evidence of fraud (the envelope) is gone. The Ohio Sec State Bunner is completely in the can with the democrat party to do NOTHING to stop this. She stalled for weeks and weeks and now her USSC court case is based on not having “time” to take action.

ACORN’s strategy is very calculated.

If Obama gets the White house, Polosi will be running the
country. She is in control. The Rats have control of the house and Senate.
I SICK OF THE FAIR AND BALLACE AT FOXNEWS, THEIR BALLACE IS ANY RAT WITH DIAREA OF THE MONTH. O’Reiley another one.
they had many chance to call for the removal of Barney Frank the Child Molester, they called for the priest to be removed, but not Frank, this SCUM along with Schumer,Waters,Dodd, need to be removed from office, it's Polosi and Reids constitution duty to call for their removal and if not than they must resign.
Everyone needs to write to Fox and tell them to call for the removal of the Scums.
LISTEN TO GLEN BECK HE WILL TELL YOU LIKE IT IS AND NO PHONY FAIR AND BALLANCE. HONET REPORTNG AND NO CATTERING TO THE LEFT.

"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."

Yes, these are surely some of the savviest practitioners of espionage and military intelligence.
