there is no way ACORN didn't know that they were creating a bogus registration factory . . . and didn't
give a damn. and from the story, we learn that canvassers that were known to be filing bogus paperwork
or trading money for registrations were NOT fired.
and I am sure the ACORN workers that were being tormented were members of the underclass . . . the lady
mentioned in the story was a 21 year old single mom. um, aren't these the people that The BarackStar! keeps
insisting that he is fighting for? it sounds like he is walking on their corpses on the way to the
white house.
ACORN INSTILLED FEAR: WORKERS
Pushed to meet daily quotas and bullied by bosses if they didn't, Ohio ACORN workers faked voter registrations, signed up people more than once, and even paid off registrants to keep from being fired, its canvassers told The Post.
"Every day, there was pressure on us. Every single day," said Teshika Elder, a Cleveland single mom of three who worked for ACORN this summer.
"We had meetings every morning where they'd go over your quota; they'd yell at you if you were low," said Elder, 21. "They'd sit us down and say if you didn't do better, they'd suspend you. They'd say, 'Try harder next time,' [and] if you didn't get it, you'd be fired."
Desperate canvassers sometimes resorted to trading cigarettes, cash and food in exchange for registrations, according to Elder and two other former ACORN workers, Jaymes Sanford, 18, and Selvin Cunningham, 23.
Some voters were signed up more than once, and said that worried - or lazy - canvassers sometimes filled out bogus cards.
The three workers were all fired after they and a dozen other canvassers were identified in a Cuyahoga County Election Board probe as having turned in multiple registrations for the same voters.

The three workers were all fired after they and a dozen other canvassers were identified in a Cuyahoga County Election Board probe as having turned in multiple registrations for the same voters.
The board, which estimates it got more than 8,700 suspect cards - with multiple registrations, bad addresses or phony information - from ACORN has turned the matter over to local prosecutors.
"It was just little stuff - a dollar, a cigarette - given to people so that they'd register," said Sanford, a former team leader.
"People are scared of not making their quotas," he said. "I didn't do it, but it's the way it worked."
