E!! The True Conservative Story™

If you think fraudulent voter registration cards can’t turn into votes and that all the “vote fraud” stories are just Hype, you should read this excellent new piece by WSJ columnist John Fund writing for Politico.  As usual, John’s fact checking and research is stellar. Here are some excerpts from his article:

ACORN’s second line of defense has been that fraudulent registrations can’t turn into fraudulent votes, as if the felony of polluting voter lists was somehow not all that serious. But that defense goes only a short distance. “How would you know if people using fake names had cast votes in states without strict ID laws?” says GOP Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita, who this year won a major Supreme Court case upholding his state’s photo identification law. “It’s almost impossible to detect and once the fraudulent voter leaves the precinct or casts an absentee ballot, that vote is thrown in with other secret ballots there’s no way to trace it.”

AND

Anita MonCrief, an ACORN whistle-blower who worked for both it and its Project Vote registration affiliate from 2005 until early this year, agrees. “It’s ludicrous to say that fake registrations can’t become fraudulent votes,” she told me. “I assure you that if you can get them on the rolls you can get them to vote, especially using absentee ballots.”

AND

There are already documented examples of fraudulent registrations being converted into fraudulent votes in Ohio, where ACORN and other groups were active. Darrell Nash, an ACORN registration worker, submitted an illegal form for himself and then cast a paper ballot during the state’s “early voting” period.

Franklin County prosecutor Ron O’Brien also cracked down in the case of 13 out-of-state registrants who came to Ohio to register voters in Columbus for the group Vote From Home. The group all lived out of the same rented 1,175-square-foot house in Ohio, registered to vote and then most of them either cast early voting ballots or submitted applications for absentee ballots before leaving the state. They have agreed to have all of their ballots canceled in exchange for the prosecutor’s decision not to file charges.

AND

Perhaps the clearest look at how fraudulent registrations can be converted into votes comes from Wisconsin. Earlier this year, the Milwaukee Police Department’s Special Investigation Unit released a stunning 67-page report detailing an “illegal organized attempt to influence the outcome” of the 2004 presidential election. 

It noted many documented cases of staffers for a presidential campaign and an allied 527 group who illegally voted. Those involved in the scheme “represent multiple levels of both the organizations, from upper management to the street level canvassers.” The task force report found many ineligible voters had cast ballots, ineligible felons not only had voted but also worked at the polls, transient college students had cast illegal votes along with day-trippers from nearby Chicago, and homeless voters may well have voted more than once.

Today I am very glad to have the help of a concerned reader/friend with making a call to the Nevada Secretary of State’s office to get some ACORN answers. 

We agreed that the amount and quality of information she/we will get will depend on who answers the phone – and that it would be helpful if other people could also call to see if they get the same or different answers. 

If you want to Do Something, call the Sec. of State’s office at 775-684-5705, tell then you are a Nevada citizen, and ask one or more of the following questions:

How did the election board discover the allegedly invalid and/or fraudulent ACORN voter registration cards that are now in question?

Did ACORN bring the questionable voter registration cards to your attention? If not, who did?

What percentage of voter registration cards received from ACORN are invalid so far?

Are you aware of any one ACORN worker whose voter registration cards were at least 90% legitimate?

How much time has been spent so far weeding through every voter registration card? Is this normal? If not, how much more time was spent than usual?

Did this extra time cost your election board extra money? If so, how much more?

ACORN claims that they have to turn all voter registration cards over, even if they know they are not legitimate. Is this true? Is this requirement a state directive, a county directive, or an election board policy?

If you are able to get some answers, please email me ASAP (address on my Contact page).

 As John Fund of the WSJ is so fond of saying, it is very likely that Election Day is going to turn into election month.  Fifteen thousand lawyers have laptops:  will travel.  

 How long it will take all these attorneys to wade through the voter registration fraud problem in 10+ states is anybody’s guess.  (There’s a punchline in there somewhere.)

 As I wrote last week, ACORN’s Nevada offices were raided by federal law enforcement as part of a voter registration fraud investigation. Among other violations, ACORN-Las Vegas allegedly employed felons in their voter-registration projects not to mention filing gobs of bogus registrations.

 Here and in other parts of the country, multiple voter-registration applications have been filed for single voters; voter registrations have been filed for dead, underage, imprisoned, or ineligible voters; identities have been manufactured and/or signatures have been forged and/or addresses have been faked on registration cards; and in some voting districts, registration now stands at more than 100% of the voting-age population.

 And what else else would we expect from ACORN and similar groups, really, since they pressure their workers with aggressive registration quotas?  Such tactics are bound to breed corruption. 

 We are already in a mess for this election, but for next time:  why not simply pass a federal law that all voters must (1) register at least 90 days prior to the election and (2) show a valid photo ID at their voting location? 

 This would give election officials the time they need to weed through any fake registrations, and give election monitors the opportunity and means to verify who is standing in front of them.

From a Newt e-blast today:

To give you a sense of how failed the current [financial] strategy has been, consider this: This summer a $300 billion housing bailout was passed with a $500 million a year payment to a radical, anti-free market group called ACORN and other left-wing organizing groups.

ACORN is a left-wing, political extortion racket. It’s currently busy bussing people to vote early in Ohio and elsewhere…these are your tax dollars at work.

You get taxed to send a left-wing group money to use to elect left-wing predatory politicians to raise your taxes to give more money to groups who help them get elected…etc.

It was suicidal for a Republican president to sign that housing bailout bill and any bill that contains funding for groups so radically opposed to the values and interests of the vast majority of Americans.

If you aren’t in the loop on all this, in Ohio and other swing states ACORN has been bussing poor and homeless people to voter registration stations where they sign up, and vote, same day, in some cases without providing proper proof of residency/address.  In many cases, it’s being reported that election monitors are not present at these stations.

Will these thousands of same-day registrations/votes be properly examined and rejected if invalid?  Who knows?

I’m doing some research here in Nevada, where ACORN is also active, and will report back with any findings.
