asks what Barack Obama knows about the epidemic of voter fraud in
ACORN, and it’s not an unfair question. Not only has Obama publicly
endorsed ACORN, he has paid them at least $800,000 for their services,
an amount that he didn’t immediately disclose until pressed. ACORN has
responded in kind, with their voter-registration efforts that have
resulted in criminal investigations in more than a dozen states
IBD outlines the scope of their criminal behavior, and Michelle gives us the details:
- Missouri - Officials now have to sift through hundreds of bogus applications submitted last August.
- Connecticut - A criminal investigation has been opened into ACORN fraud.
- Wisconsin - Registering convicted felons.
- Ohio - ACORN tells Cuyahoga County’s election board that they can’t stop themselves from committing fraud.
- Indiana
- Over a thousand new applications from ACORN appear to investigators
to be fraudulent, and that should be no surprise, since Indianapolis
now has 105% of its population registered to vote.
In Nevada, officials seemed surprised by the news that the Dallas Cowboys had moved en masse
to the Silver State. The entire starting lineup registered to vote in
Nevada, including Tony Romo, their quarterback. However, Secretary of
State Ross Miller assured Nevadans that anyone posing as Terrell “TO”
Owens would get a big NO if they tried to cast a vote.
Update: The New York Post notes the nationwide pattern of fraud as well:
Let every vote count, is the Democratic
Party’s mantra these days. That slogan might better be: Let every vote
count as often as we need to win.
Such, at any rate, are the tactics
of ACORN, Barack Obama’s favorite “community organizers,” and its
Project Vote - of which, the Democratic presidential candidate has
boasted, “I started working as the director . . . here in Chicago.”
ACORN has been implicated in
voter-fraud schemes in 15 states - including Ohio, from where The
Post’s Jeane MacIntosh reports today that a Board of Elections
investigation has unearthed evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Hey, you know who else funds these fraudsters? You do. Congress sends them money every year, usually for housing assistance.
