Amen, brother! I've been trying to get the word out - I've been posting about these issues since Jan/Feb about Obama.

You should see my favorites list on my web browzer! I have a folder for election articles. Lately though, the news has moved so fast I can't keep up anymore with the links!

With Ohio being a swing state, this should be more fuel for the fire!!!

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports today that the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections (Cleveland, Ohio) is investigating 75,000 voter registrations -- many found to have been fraudulent -- submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN):

Board employees said ACORN workers often handed in the same name on a number of voter registration cards, but showing that person living at different addresses. Other times, cards had the same name listed, but a different date of birth. Still another sign of possible fraud showed a number of people living at an address that turned out to be a restaurant.

"I'm obviously very concerned," Board Chairman Jeff Hastings said. "This goes to the essence of our democracy."


ACORN had a part-time staff of 30 who worked five days a week to find unregistered people. The workers made $8 an hour and were required to sign up 20 voters in each five-hour shift.


The elections board's registration department said in a report that ACORN's quota contributed to the possible fraud.

ACORN stopped the registration efforts of the part-timers on Aug. 15. Three salaried employees continue the drive to sign up voters.


Kristopher Harsh, head organizer for the agency's Cleveland office, said it is unlikely a full-fledged movement will resume before the Nov. 4 election.


ACORN has submitted about 75,000 voter registration cards to the Cuyahoga board this year.



Board employees are unsure how many of the cards are fraudulent. But the voter registration department received so many suspicious cards that it began compiling a binder with evidence. The binder grew to be an inch-thick.


As Tom Blumer of BizzyBlog notes that ACORN has miraculously been able to find 75,000 new voters in a county that already has 200,000 more registered voters than adults, according to the Census Bureau.
Ed at Hot Air adds this is hardly the first time that ACORN has been in trouble in the State of Ohio for fraudulent voter registrations:


2007: A man in Reynoldsburg was indicted on two felony counts of illegal voting and false registration, after being registered by ACORN to vote in two separate counties.

2004: A grand jury indicted a Columbus ACORN worker for submitting a false signature and false voter registration form. In Franklin County, two ACORN workers submitted what the director of the board of election supervisors called "blatantly false" forms. In Cuyahoga County, ACORN and its affiliate Project Vote submitted registration cards that had the highest rate of errors for any voter registration group.


Change we can believe in! Should read Corruption we can believe in!!!

How come we don't see our nest of liberal loonies on here defending this organization and Obama's close ties to it?
I guess all they can do is attack and not defend, since a defence would need to have truth on your side.

Isn't that redundant?

This quote holds more truth than I care to contemplate:

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage. — Alexander Tyler, writing about the fall of the Athenian Republic in his 1770 book, Cycle of Democracy

Yet the Democrats are always bawling about voter fraud and how the terrible Republicans steal elections.

Well you do realize that if you say anything disparaging about the messiah then you are a racist, right? Hell in Missouri this thread would get all of us tossed into the stir.
