ACORN Watch: Voter fraud suspected in Pa.

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 8, 2008 03:13 PM

Yesterday, it was Las Vegas. Today, it’s Dauphin County, Pa. I’m going to make ACORN Watch a regular feature, because Obama’s “old friends” will be up to no good across the country through November. And you’re paying for it. Keep a look out in your neck of the woods.

Hat tip for this one to reader Sandy. Via the Patriot-News:

A voter registration drive by a national organization is being investigated by Dauphin County authorities after election officials raised questions about more than 100 of the forms.

Charles Jackson, a spokesman for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, said that his organization fired a temporary employee involved in collecting registrations and that it has been cooperating with Dauphin County detectives.

Dauphin County District Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr. confirmed last week the investigation by county detectives is “ongoing.” John Goshert, head county detective, said a former ACORN worker had been questioned, but has not been charged with any criminal offense.

    Maybe we should start a scoreboard for those that are going under the ACORN bus?

    This would be 1.

    That figures…Dauphin County is right next to Harrisburg, the state capital which positively reeks of corruption! ACORN is in the right spot.

    3 to 1 that the “employee” is illegal.

    Notice how they don’t want to use the acronym? If they’d said “ACORN”, we’d have ears perking up all over the place! That is thanks to folks like Michelle, et al. I’ll be looking for the “Assoc. of Comm. Organizations for Reform Now”, in addition to ACORN in the future!

    That sounds kind of like the old “Mission Impossible” tape recordings, which always ended: “If any of your members are caught or killed, the secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.”

    Donkey-coordinated vote fraud is the elephant in the living room not just for state but also Federal elections. ACORN is just the edge of the wedge when it comes to donkey-allied organizations that partake of what is perhaps the single-greatest threat to our system of representative government.

    “A great civilization isn’t conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.” And the donkey party is working overtime to bring about that inner destruction by turning more and more elections into jokes — thereby ultimately corroding the electorate’s faith in the elections themselves.

    The question is whether our society will end up like the frog sitting in the water while the temperature gets slowly and steadily warmed up to the fatal degree. The donkeys and their ACORN-style acolytes are turning up the dial even as we watch them do it…

    Florida is a hot bed of voter fraud. The “snow birds” that live up north part of the time in say NY and such, maintain two residences legally. There and here. They vote down here in the fall election by walk in, and vote a second time up north via absentee ballots. Some of our Democratic Snow Birds in the Miami area seem to think that this is OK. They are just “confused”…. LOL.

    Understand there are groups out there as well as ACORN. I have been aproached several times by people asking me to sign a petition.

    These petitions are on various subjects (One for me was building a casino the other was for higher mimimum wages)

    The idea is to target voters and get their names on democratic rolls. They are out here daily in Ohio doing these things

    But wait, the Democrats are all about integrity in voting and counting every vote… two or three times if necessary.

    If these idiots would do the sane thing and require a valid, state-issued, photo ID, this would all be less of an issue…even for Florida.

    Why on earth can’t an organization that’s been convicted of fraud -any fraud- be banned from receiving any government funding. ANY. That goes for Planned Parenthood or anyone else. Put a time limit on it if you want, at least 10 years. But there is no way we should be funding wrongdoing.

    Someone needs to introduce that bill.

    This reminds me of the days when AlGore & Co. were cherry picking Florida counties for recount on the notion that their counties would put more votes in their pocket than in GW’s. All the while, they were also constructing and implementing reasons to disavow as many overseas ballots cast by US Military personnel across the globe, on the notion that more “money where their mouths are” patriotic Americans would be voting for GW.

    Is this still standard, democrat operating procedure in 2008?

    MNGIRL, you’re right but look in the link I put about the mother of the year. We fund far more than we think. Illegal alien mother of 8 getting welfare all the time she’s bring in money selling hard core drugs.

    And California Politicians wonder why the state is broke.

    Funny you should say that. You know, John McCain is running for president. He travels the country and holds townhall meetings telling everyone that he has a plan for this and a plan for that. Well right now John is currently a Senator, who is capable of drafting and introducing legislation. Maybe he should put his money where his mouth is? Err, maybe that’s a poor choice of words.

    I remember their mantra:

    “Count every vote”

    ‘cept the military
    ‘cept that (R) county
    ‘cept that (R) chad

    Yes, it will be more of the same.

    John Ansell, well done Sir.
    Re: mother of the year, “They need to educate her so that she’ll understand that it was not safe and work with (social services) so that the family can be reunited and move on,”… “She’s undocumented, she doesn’t have a work permit, she’s just trying to support her kids.”

    So, she’s just trying to support her kids, by selling poison to other people’s kids… I have always struggled with the idea of a death penalty, but I could support it for drug dealers.

    From the Political Toast article:

    ACORN is a pitiful group, self serving, and pathetic. They have to indoctrinate young people to go door to door to try and get petitions signed. These young kids are getting the doors slammed in their faces, (they told me so) and they cant understand why! The hope of having a couple of kids and the house with the picket fence disappears with every signature they get.

    Agreed! After what ACORN did in Ohio in the ‘04 election, it’s hard to imagine anyone who has even the slightest understanding of what this group actually represents signing their “petitions.”

    I’m sure there’s a lesson to be learned here somewhere. Perhaps it is that if you run a shady organization, always keep a low paid, temporary employee on hand to be the fall guy when you get caught. It’s cheap CYA insurance for the real criminal masterminds in your organization. :)

    I think you’re on the wrong thread. This thread details the many voter fraud investigations and almost as many criminal convictions for ACORN and their “employees,” a tax-payer subsidized group that democrats apparently believe benefits their electoral chances.

    The words “Obama,” “ACORN,” and “(Democrat) corruption” need to be linked at every opportunity.
