ACORN: New Charges of Voter Fraud

Seven more members of ACORN were charged with voter registration fraud yesterday in Allegheny County in Southwestern Pennsylvania which also encompasses the Pittsburgh area.

These charges are in addition to similar charges filed in Nevada earlier this week.

As in the earlier charges, ACORN itself is denying any wrongdoing even though authorities are indicating that “hundreds of” voter “registrants were indeed fraudulent,” according to District Attorney Stephen Zappalla.

ACORN’s Partnership With Feds Disturbing

Despite the recent criminal fraud charges against ACORN in Nevada and several other states involve falsifying information in exchange for money, ACORN remains a partner of the Federal government to help take next year’s census!

Washington should be more responsible with our money and should be less political in its choices with whom it does business; of course, perhaps this is too much to ask for from those political animals to whom we trust our tax dollars!

This news of ACORN’s continued business with Washington makes Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann actually look correct because she wants an amendment to stop tax money from going to ACORN and other businesses like them!

Vegas Accuses ACORN of Illegally Squirreling Voter Registrations

ACORN is being accused of forcing their workers to meet a daily quota of registering voters or they would be fired.  This, according to Nevada authorities, amounts to voter fraud and charges have now been filed on 39 counts against two former ACORN employees.

ACORN – Association of Community Organizations and Reform Now – was accused of misdoing last year during the Presidential race.  ACORN’s spokesperson, Scott Levenson, is using the same excuses as last year.  By blaming its hired help and claiming that ACORN itself is the victim, ACORN is trying to steer public opinion away from the potential voter registration fraud by blaming their employees for turning in “bogus forms,” according to Levenson.

These new Nevada charges, however, point directly at ACORN’s policies including a bonus compensation called “Blackjack” which paid employees an extra bonus amount for obtain 21 or more registrations in one day.

The Nevada investigation grew from original complaints regarding voter fraud.  The Clark County Registrar of Voters filed a complaint after receiving a number of voter registrations, tied to ACORN by serial number, which appeared fraudulent.
