Bad voter applications found (ACORN and voter fraud in Michigan)

[Wretched Excess]

ACORN already makes every election night in StL county exciting.  it looks like they are moving into
michigan now.

Did they ever get to the bottom of those hundreds of thousands of fraudulent voter registrations in missouri?

RobJ posted something about this earlier, but it deserves it's own thread.

Bad voter applications found
Clerks see fraudulent, duplicate forms from group

Several municipal clerks across the state are reporting fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications, most of them from a nationwide community activist group working to help low- and moderate-income families.

The majority of the problem applications are coming from the group ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which has a large voter registration program among its many social service programs. ACORN's Michigan branch, based in Detroit, has enrolled 200,000 voters statewide in recent months, mostly with the use of paid, part-time employees.

"There appears to be a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications," said Kelly Chesney, spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary of State's Office. "And it appears to be widespread."

Chesney said her office has had discussions with ACORN officials after local clerks reported the questionable applications to the state. Chesney said some of the applications are duplicates and some appear to be names that have been made up. The Secretary of State's Office has turned over several of the applications to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The U.S. Attorney's Office on Friday declined to confirm whether an investigation was taking place.

voter registration was indeed one of the things that he did.  of course, that sort of thing never happens in chicago.

This is most of ACORN's history is doing this.  Every election cycle they get in trouble for this.

Would be cool if we could have this as a gotcha on Obama, but I don't think he is as stupid as his followers, so there won't be anything about this kind of thing with his name on it.

But none of this surprises me
