Former ACORN Employee: More Than Half Voter Registrations Invalid
Newsmax ^ | March 19, 2009 | Ronald Kessler

Posted on 03/19/2009 8:35:55 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

More than half the voter registrations turned in by ACORN canvassers during the last election were not valid, according to testimony to be presented before a House Judiciary subcommittee.

The testimony is from Anita MonCrief, a former employee of an affiliate of the Association of Community Organizations. MonCrief, who was fired for improperly charging personal expenses to the ACORN affiliate, originally testified under oath as part of a request by the Republican State Committee in Pennsylvania for an injunction against ACORN. The request was denied. The FBI has been investigating the liberal community organizing group for possible voter registration fraud.

MonCrief will appear at the congressional hearing Thursday with Heather Heidelbaugh, who represented the Republican committee in the civil suit and is on the executive board of the Republican National Lawyers Association. She will provide a legal analysis of MonCrief’s testimony.

“We will be presenting evidence that ACORN is engaged in voter registration irregularities and fraud,” Heidelbaugh tells Newsmax,

According to MonCrief, ACORN considered 40 percent an acceptable level of accurate voter registrations turned in by its workers. She said ACORN barely trained its workers in how to register voters properly and would fire employees if they did not meet a quota of 20 new voter applicants daily. If the registration cards turned in did not meet the quota, supervisors were told to “fire them right there; don’t let them waste your money for the day.”

If a canvasser was caught committing fraud, ACORN threw the individual “under the bus,” MonCrief said. ACORN employees were briefed on how to deny that voter registration fraud existed, she said.

Now I guess it’s on to Census duty for ACORN.

The mainstream state-run media won't be able to quash this story fast enough...

Yet, BOTH halves were still counted to give the “messiah” his big win. Our election system is corrupt and VERY broken. When are we going to get “voter reform?” It’s time to put voter registration on the “path to legitimacy.”

Someone should make an Erin Brockovich-style heroic whistle-blower movie about this woman.

ACORN is at or near the lowest level of society. They are barely more dignified than crackheads or convicts.

Don’t worry.

I knew it!
Now if only people would listen to me and make conspiracy to commit voter fraud a capital offense with a mandatory execution date, barring a complete and successful appeal, of six months after the initial conviction.

OK, so now they have potentially BILLIONS of dollars to perpetrate there righteous deeds on society.

This ought to be interesting to watch everything unfold without any vetting.

Too bad the results of their deeds could be catastrophic to America.

I called the RNC as soon as this ACORN stuff started coming out, and the lady told me that McCain would contest every single state that Obama won that ACORN might have been involved in tampering, did they contest it, no of course not. They rolled over. They could have contested the election, it was all based on a fraud and they didn’t do a damn thing to stop it
