Fraudulent Voter Registrations in Indiana; ACORN Involved (Again)

It's another day, another report of fraudulent voter registrations. The leftists want people to think that the GOP makes this stuff up and that finding fraudulent voter registrations is somehow suppressing the vote, but the sad fact is that 40% of the latest voter registrations collected by ACORN in Lake County, Indiana were fraudulent. ACORN turned in 5,000 new registrations.

2,100 were fraudulent.

Actually, it's even worse than that. Indiana officials looked through the first 2,100 registrations and every last one of them were bogus. That was a 100% rejection rate.



Rinse and repeat across the country.

That's what ACORN has been doing for years on end. Don't think that they've all been caught before hand.

They haven't.

We'll find out that dead people voted again this year. We'll find out that kids under the age of 18 voted. Felons will have voted. Some people will have voted more than once - and in more than one jurisdiction.

Each and every instance is an affront to what should be our most cherished possession - the right to vote and determine who will govern. Instead, most people shrug off this kind of criminal enterprise as though it's expected or tolerated.

It shouldn't be. It can't be. And if the 2000 elections should have taught people anything, it's that when elections are decided by razor thin margins, every vote has to be counted and every bogus vote that gets thrown in will determine who governs.

Do you really want to leave it up to a felon or a bogus voter to determine who governs?

I certainly don't.

There's a reason that 15 states are investigating ACORN's activities, and Ace suspects that investigators will bring RICO charges against ACORN within days.

The biggest question is why this has not been done sooner given that ACORN has been engaging in these activities for years on end. Has it gotten to the point where the illegalities are so blatant and obvious that investigators have to take action to be seen as at least credible?

I have an idea of what one defense will be - and it's based on my recollection of past instances where ACORN was involved in bogus registrations. They'll claim that individual canvassers saw a profit motive in adding to the numbers of registrations, so they engaged in a bit of creative accounting - adding dead people, multiple names signed by the same individual, etc.

UPDATE:
A deeper look at ACORN reveals a longstanding pattern of flooding voter rolls, welfare rolls, and creates front groups including political parties to camouflage the extent of their operations.

As for my recollection above, it's born out by the fact that such a scheme was concocted in Washington state.
