ACORN only managed about 13,000 registrations in the state of LA, but apparently they were all in new orleans.
Thousands of voter registrations thrown out in Jeff
Merely 18 days from the November 4 election and one group that is designed to get inner city and lower income people registered to vote is now being charged with voter registration fraud in 12 states. ACORN International's headquarters is right on Canal Street in New Orleans, and although this chapter hasn't been charged, the Secretary of State is investigating the group along with several others.
At the Registrar of Voters Office in Jefferson Parish, they have had to make boxes to store thousands of faulty new voter registration cards.
Rejected applications were thrown out because they were from felons, didn't have the information completed accurately or were possibly fake registrations altogether. The office also reported that they had lot of duplicate applications as well.
The Jefferson office spent thousands of dollars of their operating budget to mail letters to citizens who think they can vote on November 4 but won't be able to.
“At least 2,000 people that we've sent letters to that, again, we were unable to secure the information either the letter was returned because of no such address or individuals didn't respond,†said Dennis Dimarco, of the Jefferson Parish Registrar of Voters office.
