King County prosecutors are investigating apparent voter-registration fraud in the 2006 general election.
Dan Satterberg, chief deputy to King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng, confirmed late Thursday that attorneys from his office will meet later this week to brief their federal counterparts regarding evidence that hundreds of voter-registration cards submitted in King County were forged.
Satterberg said "there are significant irregularities" among a batch of more than 1,800 voter-registration cards submitted to the county by canvassers for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), a national group that represents the interests of low- and moderate-income citizens.
County prosecutors, aided by King County sheriff's investigators, have been looking into the allegations of forgery since election officials noticed that hundreds of the cards submitted by ACORN canvassers appeared to be in the same handwriting.
ACORN has come under scrutiny in several other states for alleged voter-registration irregularities. Four ACORN canvassers were indicted by a federal grand jury in Ohio late last year. On March 6, ACORN submitted a letter to Maleng's office identifying three workers as suspects after an internal investigation indicated the trio "collected a substantial number of applications from two homeless shelters in Seattle.

What about dealing with the 2004 fraud, first?
AMen!! ACORN should be prosecuted under RICO laws!! Bush SHOULD have fired all those damn attorneys just like Clinton did,,,but he's too damn NICE and he doesn't think the enemy is the Democrat-icks....but they are.
IMO, the votes where I am from were not true. I believe the 2006 elections were false and greatly manipulated.
Wake up, people. Do you really think RATs are going to play fair?
Not that it matters, what Republican would ever point it out. If they did, who would ever complain that was in the position to do anything about it?
Pathetic.
Amen...I think the term apparent is used by media much like alleged is. For this to be printed in the Times in Seattle, there has to be something to it.
Sounds like it might have been a case of wouldn't rather than couldn't, for whatever reason. He was supposed to have been a Repub but looks to me it might have been in name only.
Seattle Republican is a liberal Democrat!
Believe it or not, the guy's name is John McKay - one of the attorneys who was just fired by the Bush administration. And, guess what - he would not listen to the case!!! I think this is why they canned the guy, and for good reason.
Agree...It would sure be nice if this would provide a trail of fraud back to the '04 election so it would be investigated also.
And the US Attorney who should have investigated this did not.
Maybe that's why he's getting canned?
It is so.
But it's not news.
Time for ACORN to meet RICO.
How shocking.
ACORN, founded in Little Rock in 1970 and run by radical labor organizer Wade Rathke does three things well: It causes thousands of illegal ballots to be counted for the Democrats; it has been very successful in combating any attempt of the US Congress to institute a voter ID; finally, it has done all in its power to see that cities do not cooperate with Homeland Security. It isn't just the King county business that should be investigated. ACORN deserves its own investigation but will never get it under the terribly timid trio of Bush/Gonzalez/Mueller.
LMAO, sure they are! And not a minute too soon. HAHAHahahahahaaaa.....
Lemme guess - - these scumbag Democrat "prosecutors" are "investigating" with a shredder handy?
Right. Ping me when somebody goes to jail.
But Seattle now has the prefect trifecta of local business destroying Bolsheviks (Fraudorie, Nickels, Sims) who belive the most important issue griping this state is not enough bike trails.
A-G-A-I-N
LOL! Lets hope some go to jail and I'll ping you but I'm sure not keeping my finger on the post button.
Don't get me started on what the moonbats say we don't have enough of, their number one thing is taxes.
