ACORN is being used to deny THOUSANDS of people the right to vote!

Don't two of the letters in ACORN stand for Community Organizers? I'm just staying...

I am stealing that from you!  Thanks!

You can thank Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit.  That guy is awesome.

ACORN registered Dominos employee 15 times

CLEVELAND - Two Ohio voters, including Domino's pizza worker Christopher Barkley , claimed yesterday that they were hounded by the community-activist group ACORN to register to vote several times, even though they made it clear they'd already signed up.

Barkley estimated he'd registered to vote "10 to 15" times after canvassers for ACORN, whose political wing has endorsed Barack Obama, relentlessly pursued him and others.

Claims such as his have sparked election officials to probe ACORN.

"I kept getting approached by folks who asked me to register," Barkley said. "They'd ask me if I was registered. I'd say yes, and they'd ask me to do it [register] again.


"Some of them were getting paid to collect names. That was their sob story, and I bought it," he said.

10. I just heard this being done in Ohio, VA and another state
   
I didn't quite catch. This is not good news. I hope they don't find may fraudulent ones because this could make us look really bad.

They will and you will.

Only because you are not counting the ones in the cemetery.

And there is more bad news.

Blunt Continues ACORN War

(The Politico) The ACORN war rages on. Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) called today for a "full-scale" investigation into allegedly ACORN-led voter fraud in Missouri and across the nation. Up until just a few weeks ago, ACORN was an obscure community organizing group allied with Democrats and pushing for access to affordable housing. It is now one of the GOP's top targets, called out at McCain-Palin events and the subject of untold viral e-mails.

Blunt's call is for an investigation into voter-registration fraud, which is significantly different than voter fraud. Voter registration fraud generally means that people paid to register voters got lazy and faked the registration by filling in the name of, say, a Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman instead of registering an actual voter. Faking a registration is easier than registering an actual voter and the pay is the same. The people who have been fraudently registered, however, will not vote. An ACORN contractor may have made off with $30 bucks for registering Donald Duck, but it's more likely that someone on election day will vote for Donald Duck than that Mr. Duck will show up to vote himself.

I disagree with that statement.  If the names are out there I think Orgs. such as ACORN will find a way to fill those blanks on the sheet.  Sounds like someone is trying to take the edge off the damage.
