More Acorn Voter Fraud Comes to Light
Congressional Democrats still want the group to be eligible for federal money.
By JOHN FUND
Democrats are split on how to deal with Acorn, the liberal "community organizing" group that deployed thousands of get-out-the-vote workers last election. State and city Democratic officials -- who've been contending with its many scandals -- are moving against it. Washington Democrats are still sweeping Acorn abuses under a rug.
On Monday, Nevada officials charged Acorn, its regional director and its Las Vegas field director with submitting thousands of fraudulent voter registration forms last year. Larry Lomax, the registrar of voters in Las Vegas, says he believes 48% of Acorn's forms "are clearly fraudulent." On Thursday, prosecutors in Pittsburgh, Pa., also charged seven Acorn employees with filing hundreds of fraudulent voter registrations before last year's general election.
Acorn spokesman Scott Levenson calls the Nevada criminal complaint "political grandstanding" and says that any problems were the actions of an unnamed "bad employee." But Catherine Cortez Masto, Nevada's Democratic Attorney General, told the Las Vegas Sun that Acorn itself is named in the criminal complaint. She says that Acorn's training manuals "clearly detail, condone and . . . require illegal acts," such as requiring its workers to meet strict voter-registration targets to keep their jobs.

And they make sure to have at least one “bad employee” per locale.
“We didn’ no dey wuz registered in twentyseben utha stapes!”
If I were a Rat with any sense of conscience left, I’d require all Acorn-produced forms to be independently vetted by a bipartisan panel, before they got a cent more from the Federal coffers.
They were given $4 billion of our taxpayers dollars and counting for ‘stimulus’ . . .. HA! What to cattle prod regular Americans into Obambi submission and or to stimulate the voters box with ballet stuffing? Stimulus . . . no massive power grab. What has become of our country that this was allowed to happen?
“What has become of our country that this was allowed to happen?”
We slept as the dogs took over the neighborhood, then the city, then the county, then the state, and now the nation.

We wuz robbed!
Somebodt helpme with this, but I think thatthere isenough here to call for a full “RICO” investigation of ACORN
obuma is up to his eyeballs in illegal voting and ACORN.
States should gather the evidence and issue arrest warrants for obuma.
Bottom line, if you can’t get your butt down and at least register your own self to vote you’re not responsible enough to vote.
We don’t need a federaly funded corrut agency to do it for you.
...Interesting, especially with the current state-sovereignty movement going on.
Just another point to illustrate HOW out-of-touch with either the People or Reality our Federal-overlords are.
Tip of the iceberg, is my guess.
ACORN = Ammerican Communists Organizing Revolutionary Nihilism!
