Obama’s ACORN Friends Raided For Suspected Voter Fraud

// October 8th, 2008 // POLITICAL ARENA

After numerous complaints of voter fraud authorities in Las Vegas, Nevada seized records and computers Tuesday from an office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN. ACORN is an organization that tries to get low-income people registered to vote.

The Nevada secretary of state’s office, has said the raid was prompted by ongoing complaints about “erroneous” registration information being submitted by ACORN. The community organization was submitting the information through a voter sign-up drive known as Project Vote.

Description of some of the complaints are, nonexistent names, false addresses and duplicates of previously filed applications. The starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys even showed up in the fraudulent registrations, including Tony Romo and Terrell Owens.

ACORN has been investigated at least nine other times for similar offenses. In 2006 ACORN submitted just over 1,800 new voter registration forms, and all but six of the 1,800 names were fake. In addition, 27,000 registrations handled by the group from January to July 2008 went into limbo because they were incomplete, inaccurate, or fraudulent.

It’s unclear how this will impact the Obama campaign as Obama himself has close ties with ACORN. While serving with the terrorist William Ayers on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Obama not only sent funds to ACORN, but he also urged ACORN to continue to pressure banks to give bad loans to unqualified home buyers.
