Voting Early and Often

Indianapolis, thanks to Obama's former employees and current campaign fund recipients ACORN, seems to have 105 percent of its population registered to vote.

The attorneys Bush fired were largely fired becuase they would not investigate voter fraud. The Online Journal claims that if you express concerns about voter fraud by the Democrats, that's a secret code word for racism:

Many election integrity experts believe claims of voter fraud are a ploy by Republicans to suppress minorities and poor people from voting. Historically, those groups tend to vote for Democratic candidates. Raising red flags about the integrity of the ballots, experts believe, is an attempt by GOP operatives to swing elections to their candidates as well as an attempt to use the fear of criminal prosecution to discourage individuals from voting in future races.

Um, I want fraudulent voters to fear criminal prosecution and refrain from voting.

And just in passing, let's note that the brouhaha over the attorney firings is about 8 attorneys Bush fired. Bill Clinton fired 93.

ACORN is facing investigation for fraudulent
voter registrations in TEN states, including Ohio, where ACORN defends itself in a bizarrely Kafkaesque fashion: Ohio
ACORN officials “blamed the elections board for not scrutinizing ACORN’s suspicious cards,” claiming the group “can’t be expected to catch everything.”

Their workers CREATE the fraudulent cards, registering duplicate names and addresses, including documented examples of things like a large group of people who all apparently live at the same address- which is a restaurant:
“The group blamed inefficiency and lack of resources for problems such as being unable to spot duplicate voter-registration cards or cards that may have been filled out by workers to make quotas.”

Somehow it's racist to point out ACORN appears to have the ethical standards of sewer rats but it's reasonable to blame the elections board because ACORN doesn't have the resources to police its own unethical members and employees?

In Nevada, they registered the Dallas Cowboys lineup
. Without asking them.
In 2006, ACORN committed what Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed called the "worse case of election fraud" in the state's history.

In the case, ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake.


This video is a montage from various news reports on ACORNS fraudulent practices and connections with ACORN- the images bridging the transitions from one news report to the next is a bit over the top, but don't let that distract you from the actual documented news footage:


Barack Obama formerly represented ACORN and taught classes for their future leaders. While he served on the Board of Directors of the Woods Foundation, that group received about $200,000 from ACORN. When he began his presidential run, Obama paid ACORN more than $800,000 to help 'Get Out the Vote'--although it was not originally reported that way to the FEC.

Shouldn't the practitioner of a 'new style' of politics be concerned about this lawbreaking?


More here, substantially more.

Updated to add this link- it seems the Obama campaign is now claiming Obama never worked with or for ACORN, when in fact, he conducted numerous training sessions for them, and he has publicly given them a shout-out for the work they did together before.
They've passed on hope and are relying on the audacity of bold dishonesty, I guess.
