I am pleased to have been invited to join the Voter Integrity Project and the publishers of Ballotpedia in a non-partisan effort to help the American voter report and expose incidences of vote fraud and vote suppression, in order to ensure a more fair, open, and democratic election process.
We are now recruiting citizen journalists and bloggers in Nevada and elsewhere. If you are interested in helping report, document, and deter voter fraud, please contact me ASAP (see my Contact page).
Your level of involvement could range from calling or emailing me with Tips between now and election day, to joining our Twitter feed #voterfraud, to texting alerts, to taking photos and video to be uploaded on Flika, to blogging on our VoterFraudSquad site.
An update on the ACORN story: Nevada senator John Ensign is calling for suspension of taxpayer dollars to that questionable organization. See here:
“ENSIGN URGES FEDS TO STOP PAYMENTS TO ACORN” posted by [Rich Lowry] @ The Corner
Washington, D.C. – In a letter to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), Senator John Ensign today called for the suspension of taxpayer dollars that ultimately end up in the hands of such controversial groups as ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. ACORN, which is under investigation, is eligible for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac affordable housing funds, which add up to hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
“With the government takeover of Fannie and Freddie, the government will be taxing itself to create a backdoor slush fund, and we must prevent these taxpayer dollars from going toward ACORN,” said Ensign. “With the recent news tying ACORN with voter fraud, suspending these funds is even more urgent.”
As part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, Fannie and Freddie are required to provide funding for newly created affordable housing funds. This was signed into law prior to the government takeover of the two agencies. Now that the government owns Fannie and Freddie and may provide them with up to $200 billion, taxing these companies does not help create stability, which is the goal of FHFA.
A search warrant was served today on the ACORN Headquarters in Nevada as part of an ongoing investigation into whether employees used false addresses or false names as part of their voter registration operation.
The letter was sent to James Lockhart, the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency today. As the regulatory agency overseeing Fannie and Freddie, FHFA has the authority to stop these contributions to the affordable housing funds. Senators Michael Enzi, Jon Kyl, David Vitter, Pat Roberts, Tom Coburn, John Thune and Jim DeMint signed the letter with Ensign.

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.
