First let me say that while I think Mccain could
have been stronger last night, in my opinion he
dominated Obama and won on the points!This Obama led voter fraud issue is getting huge.
THE PRO-BARACK VOTE-FRAUD DRIVE:
By Michelle Malkin
SYSTEMIC corruption of our election process continues.
Barack Obama and his old friends at ACORN and Project
Vote are leading the way. This radical revolution is
taking place in your backyard. And as I've reported
before, this voter-fraud racket is on your dime.
On Monday, the two groups announced the wrap-up of a
21-state voter-registration drive targeting low-income
people and minorities in such battleground states as
Ohio, Pennyslvania, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico and
Wisconsin.
What's wrong with that? For starters, these two groups
are militantly partisan outfits purporting to engage in
nonpartisan activity. And their campaign comes amid an
avalanche of fresh voter-fraud allegations involving
ACORN in many of those same states.
ACORN has helped register over 1.27 million people nationwide.
It gets 40 percent of its revenues from the taxpayers, with
the rest coming from left-wing heavyweights like billionaire
George Soros and the Democracy Alliance.
Lefty lawyer Sandy Newman founded Project Vote, a 501(c)(3)
organization, to register voters in welfare offices and
unemployment lines with the explicit goal of turning back the
Reagan revolution.
The two groups are inextricably linked - and at their nexus
is Barack Obama. Despite his denials of any association with
the group, Obama's political DNA is encoded with the ACORN
agenda.
As I've noted previously ("ACORN: O's Ugly Ally," June 26),
Obama trained ACORN members in Chicago. In turn, ACORN
volunteers worked on his Illinois campaigns and ACORN's PAC
endorsed him in this year's Democratic primaries back in February.
And Newman hired Obama in 1992 to lead Project Vote efforts
in Illinois. The effort's motto: "It's a Power Thing." Today,
the Obama campaign's "Vote for Change" registration drive is
running in parallel with ACORN/Project Vote, targetting the
same sorts of people.
It's an all-out scramble to scrape up every last unregistered
voter sympathetic to Obama's big-government vision. "Our volume,"
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe bragged of the voter-
registration program, "is going to be enormous."
Quantity over quality. That's the ACORN way - and the fraud
allegations keep piling up:
* Yesterday, Nevada officials raided ACORN's Las Vegas office
after election authorities accused the group of submitting
multiple voter registrations with fake and duplicate names.
Among the bogus monikers: names of former Dallas Cowboys players.
* Lake County, Ind., election officials this month rejected
thousands of registration forms ACORN had turned in from its
drives this summer. On a conference call yesterday, GOP officials
noted that up to 11,000 of the applications were no good - tying
up election officials and jeopardizing the voting rights of
untold victims whose identities may have been stolen.
In what seems to be ACORN's standard operating procedure, vote
canvassers had pulled names and addresses from phone books and
forged signatures. According to a local paper (the Northwest
Indiana and Illionois Times), "Large numbers of voter
registration forms bore signatures all in the same apparent
handwriting style" and "apparently the organization's
canvassers broke rules to meet ACORN-set voter registration
quotas to get paid." The fake registrants include dead people
and underage kids.
* Milwaukee, Wisc., officials last month discovered at least
seven felons employed as voter-registration workers for ACORN
and another affiliated group. (State law bans felons from such
work.) They also uncovered a raft of problematic voter-registration
cards. The state GOP accuses the group of trying to get dead,
imprisoned or imaginary people on the voter rolls. Fraud has
plagued ACORN's Milwaukee chapter since the last election cycle.
* In Florida, in Orange County alone, ACORN workers turned in
multiple, copycat forms for six separate voters over the summer.
The Miami Herald reports: "One individual had 21 duplicate
applications."
Election officials had flagged ACORN's negligent practices months
ago. But it may be too late: In Orange, Broward and Miami-Dade
counties, ACORN has signed up 135,000 new voters, nearly 60
percent of them registered as Democrats - a fifth of all new
voters in that region.
* In Ohio, large numbers of homeless people got free van and
bus rides to register. Shelby Holliday, a reporter for Palestra.
net, filmed ACORN shuttling in some prospects. She told me she
spoke with one homeless woman who said ACORN "told her who to
vote for if she wanted a 'better life,' and told her not to
worry about jury duty (one of the reasons this homeless woman
didn't want to register) because the government probably wouldn't
be able to track her down. She was registering with a temporary
address."
Holliday interviewed another homeless man targeted by the
registration drive who exulted that he was voting for Obama
because "I want him to do his thang. You know, do his thug
thizzle."
"Thug thizzle" is street slang for performing your trademark
move. Obama and ACORN have practiced their thug thizzle
together for years: Organizing an ever-expanding community of
ineligible and marginal voters to expand the Democrat power
base. Rules be damned.
