If your neighbor came to you, asking if you are planning to vote, you would probably think nothing of it. If you told them you probably weren't going to, what would your reaction be if they asked you to fill out an absentee ballot anyway, then gave you an address where to have your absentee ballot sent? If you worked for a county state election board, and over 1000 voter registrations were found to have addresses that don't exist, or are of businesses instead of residences, what would you do? If you went to vote, but after stating your name, you were told that you have already voted, how would you react? KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Four people have been indicted on charges of voter fraud in Kansas City, officials said Wednesday. Investigators said questionable registration forms for new voters were collected by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to improve minority and low-income communities. http://www.kmbc.com/politics/10214492/detail.html Seattle Times: King and Pierce County prosecutors filed felony charges today against seven people who allegedly committed the biggest voter-registration fraud in state history. The defendants, who were paid employees and supervisors of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, concocted the scheme as an easy way to get paid, not as an attempt to influence the outcome of elections, King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg said. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003806904_webvotefraud26m.html Milwaukee, WI: About 250 to 300 of the registration cards submitted by those workers are under scrutiny, Edman said. All the workers were paid by two organizations running voter registration drives, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and the Community Voters Project. Overall, 37 of the suspect workers were on the ACORN payroll, 11 were paid by the voters project and it’s not clear who employed the other one. http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=788738 ACORN claims that they are "conducting campaigns to require states to comply with the National Voting Rights Act and is planning to monitor voting places on election day." Yet in Madison, WI they have lobbied to block any and all attempts to clean up voting in Wisconsin. Because of organizations like ACORN and the New Voter Project (Dubbed locally as The New Voter Fraud Project), criminals in Milwaukee swelled the number of voters to a greater number than live in there. The number of suspicious votes were greater in 2004 than the margin Kerry won by. The state elections boad is so in the pocket of criminals that they recently outright refused to comply with federal law requiring all red-flagged registrations be matched against drivers license records. Requests for accurate information are supposed to be sent out to registered voters whose names are flagged to give them the opportunity to fix any legitimate descrepancies. In the case of someone showing up to vote whose name has been flagged, the state Republican party requested that they be given a provisional ballot, which would be counted as soon as the voter cleared up the discrepancy. The decision by the state election board was, "no, we'll just allow them to vote and clear up the matter later". In other words, fraudulent voters have the complete support of the Wisconsin State Elections Board. What do the criminal leaders of ACORN say about voter fraud? They say it's a myth. There is not one honest person in ACORN or the New Voter Project. If they were honest, they wouldn't be able to stand sit through a meeting of these scumbags. Oh, and guess who has close ties with these criminals? Barack Obama https://www.acorn.org/index.php?id=8539&tx_ttnews%5Bpointer%5D=4&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=21759&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=8538&cHash=ff99d11068 Guess whose campaign "Forgot" about over $800,000 in donations to ACORN? Barack Obama http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/election/s_584284.html Guess whose "community organizer" resume includes defending voter fraud? Mr. Obama sued on behalf of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, and won. Acorn later invited Mr. Obama to help train its staff; Mr. Obama would also sit on the board of the Woods Fund for Chicago, which frequently gave this group grants. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-fund/john-paul-stevens-vs-bara_b_99182.html The state of Wisconsin (as well as other states) should not have their elections certified or counted until they are in compliance with election laws. Members and leadership of Criminal organizations such as ACORN and the New Voter Project should be investigated and no voter registration should be accepted by any member... Those found guilty should lose their right to vote, or run for public office, for life.

I have never heard of this before. It seems silly that something like this would be happening in this day and age.

Silly yes, but the criminals are at it, stealing elections then pointing their stinky fingers at others. Like all criminals, they are a pox on freedom.

wow! that's crazy! i didn't even realize stuff like this happened! i guess there is fraud in almost all areas of life now... sad but true. i definitely would not just fill out an absentee ballot and send it somewhere, though. i guess i would be wary of that. but i do vote so that would not be an issue. i would be extremely upset if i showed up to vote and they told me i had already voted! especially if the person who voted in my name was a democrat! lol :)

If the poll worker told me I'd already voted, my reaction would land me in jail.

Hmmm, well its a story but whether I'm convinced is another matter. I'll see if the major broadcasters pick it up before I give this too much credence. Similarly, I've heard stories in Ohio how republicans are getting people to fill in absentee ballot papers and if people forget to tick a rather small box, their ballot is invalidated. I don't know whether this is true or not either, I'd much rather focus on real issues, like the fact that Lehman brothers going down and how that is going to hurt our economy and what are the candidates proposing to do about it.

Oh yes, because we know that if it isn't on TV it never, ever happened! Apparently to you, voter fraud is no big deal.

I'm not surprised in the least. Those ACORN people have always been pushy and rude. I used to see them a lot in Orlando where they'd try and get people to sign petitions to raise the minimum wage. Boy did they get nasty when I said no. What started as a request from one of them turned into 3 of them yelling at me about how I"m a bigot who wants poor people to be stuck on welfare. Funny since I am opposed to most welfare programs. Either way I don't trust any organization that does what they do. I know some are genuine and care about the voting process, but I worked for ONE day for one of those companies and immediately recognized that there was something shady going on. They would get upset if the voter registration forms didn't have phone numbers on them. Of course phone numbers are not required so their desire for phone numbers means they have ulterior motives. It wouldn't surprise me if they were selling the numbers to telemarketers or selling ALL the information from those ballots to someone. I'm quite sure voter fraud is a felony and likely a federal crime. As such, if convicted they should lose their right to vote. What they've done truly disgusts me.

Criminals often do become pushy or rude when you get between them and their ill gotten booty. In this case, illegal votes.
