Eight people have been charged with faking voter registration forms in St. Louis city and county in 2006, federal authorities announced today. The federal indictments were unsealed this morning. Some of the accused have not been arrested yet, so their names are being withheld. The eight people were employed as voter registration recruiters by ACORN, the not-for-profit Assoication of Community Organizations for Reform Now. ACORN ran a voter registration drive for the general election in November 2006.
