ACORN employees tell FBI of deliberate election fraud, according to new documents

The radical activist group ACORN “works” for the Democratic Party and deliberately promotes election fraud, ACORN employees told FBI investigators, according to an FBI document dump Wednesday.

The documents obtained by Judicial Watch, a watchdog group, are FBI investigators’ reports related to the 2007 investigation and arrest of eight St. Louis, Mo., workers from ACORN’s Project Vote affiliate for violation of election laws. All eight employees involved in the scandal later pleaded guilty to voter registration fraud.

Project Vote is ACORN’s voter registration arm. Project Vote continues to operate despite the reported dissolution of the national structure of ACORN.

The handwritten reports by FBI agents show that ACORN employees reported numerous irregularities in the nonprofit group’s business practices.

One employee told the FBI that ACORN headquarters is “wkg [working] for the Democratic Party.”

According to one report, an ACORN employee said the purpose of “[f]raudulent cards” was “[t]o cause confusion on election day to keep polls open longer,” “[t]o allow people who can’t vote to vote,” and “[t]o allow to vote multiple times.”

Another report quotes an employee saying, “Project Vote will pay them whether cards fake or not – whatever they had to do to get the cards was attitude.” Project Vote pays based on the number of cards and “that’s why they were so reckless,” the report says.

A report quotes an employee saying, “I don’t like our system. I don’t think we should do voter registration.” The report also notes that employees were “[c]onstantly threatened” and that the staff were “instructed on what to say to FBI.”

The FBI is a Bureau under the U.S. Department of Justice.
Justice is headed by Eric Holder — as such, you are correcto
mundo - nothing will be done.

Seeing as how the Prez & his entire Adminstration plus Congress are Dems, wouldn’t an Independent Prosecutor be a good idea?

moral of the story:

if you cheat big enough, wide enough, you will insure yourself power to shutdown any investigations

“One employee told the FBI that ACORN headquarters is “wkg [working] for the Democratic Party.”

That’s why they were slated to receive millions in stimulus funds.

AG Holder has already appointed 2 experts in election fraud to drive this investigation...


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

The AG of Nevada, who is an ardent NObama supporter refuses to indict the ACORN people who registered the entire Dallas Cowboys football team & Mickey /Minnie Mouse for the Nov 2008 election.

Every time someone pushes for answers—she says she ‘cannot comment about an ongoing investigation”.

I live in Nevada, & I am more than pissed about her willingness to stonewall.

Interesting! Sounds like some FBI agents realize that Eric Holder is never going to act on this info so they are leaking it to friendly news outlets.

The St. Louis ACORN “project vote” gave us Claire McCaskill.

Hopefully in 2012 the new AG will prosecute acorn and black panthers. Unless acorn fixes the 2012 election and we are stuck Zero another 4 years. (That would really be the last straw for me.)

Asking the O admin to investigate, and do it fairly, is preposterous.

The fox would be checking out the hen house.

Not with the house and Seante majority we have now. Hopefully once the leadership changes after November we can revisit this. I’d like to see the leadership of Acron in each state in prision as a warning to others what can and will happen if you mess with our elections.
