Officials: FBI investigates ACORN for voter fraud

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.

The phony balony ACORN registrations aid the Democrats in at least 4 ways:

1. They create chaos in the system and make it harder to catch all the fraud.

2. They inflate the actual Democrat registration numbers. if you have an extra 1.5 million Democrat registrations, the pollsters will accordingly inflate their assumptions of the Dem registration total by 2-4%, giving the impression their candidate is ahead and creating a certain sense of inevitability, which deflates the opposition, both in pavement-pounding GOTV and donations.

3. MOST of the false registrations have REAL addresses, which makes it possible to file for absentee ballots in phony names.

4. The old classic Chicago River Ward scam: With many precincts having only ONE party with election judges or observers in attendance, it is easy for corrupt judges to wait til the polls have closed and then go ahead and vote the “unclaimed” registrations. This is a very old Chicago tradition, I'm sure it is also done elsewhere.

Now the FBI has gone negative and racist.

We need change we can believe in, not racist witch hunts.

Don't hold your breath- we live in PC times

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

Frankly, I wouldn't put it past ACORN to throw a bunch of faked GOP registrations in, just to foul things up.

The registrations are used to match to fraudulent “absentee” votes, either from real mail-in votes or ones in a sack in the polling place. The Dims at the polls see how many votes they need as the polls close, go to the back and get these, minus any envelopes or other incriminating attachments and, voila, more votes. Jive Bunny's vote matches Jive Bunny's mail-in, Jive's identifying info is stripped from the actual ballot, and another vote for Barry. In the cruder cases, a bunch of ballots are carried around, pre-marked, and simply dumped into the mix. Since the total number of ballots doesn't exceed the number of registrations, many of them false to inflate the number, Barry gets the votes.
Anyone familiar with more refined techniques??

Yes, I would, too, and I would like to see union bosses who try to intimidate their members into voting for Obama, whether they (the members) wish to, or not, go to jail as well. I have a cousin who is a welder, and he belongs to a union. His name is Alan Emfinger, and he is originally from Mt. Olive, MS. He is now working in Oklahoma, if I remember correctly. The bosses at his union are trying to get him to vote for Obama. They’re using bribery and intimidation to try to get him to vote for Obama. I don’t know the name of the union, or the names of the bosses, but what they’re doing is wrong. Alan should be able to vote for whoever he wishes, even though he belongs to a union.

I would like to see the FBI investigate that union, round up those bosses, and put them in jail. I want ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News to go to where my cousin Alan Emfinger is working and report on the union he belongs to, and what the union is doing to him and the rest of its members.

That was downright chilling.
