Flash: ACORN offices in Las Vegas raided
Just across the wire:
Nevada state authorities are raiding the Las Vegas headquarters of an organization that works to get low-income people to vote.
A Nevada secretary of state’s office spokesman said Tuesday that investigators are looking for evidence of voter fraud at the office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.
No one was at the ACORN office when state agents arrived with a search warrant and began carting records and documents away.
Secretary of State spokesman Bob Walsh says ACORN is accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names.
Stay tuned.
Via commenter Will Amos, more details:
Agents with the state attorney general’s and secretary of state’s offices served a search warrant this morning on the new ACORN headquarters. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now office is located at 953 E. Sahara Ave.
The warrant was part of an ongoing investigation into suspected voter registration fraud. Employees are suspected of using false addresses or false names, including those of former Dallas Cowboys, according to the secretary of state’s office.

Bet on that color that’s not red.
Looking at nut root web sites. Lets all help the ACORN Ohio voter fraud project
Is it too soon for the “OMG RACISM!” shrieks?
Thank you, Jesus!
Move along nothing to see here.
This should be happening in every state that acorn is involved in, my guess all 50 or is it ‘57′. Thanks so much Michelle.
L
Did they deposit a few billion in their freezer’s to help bail them out?
Will add there is a lawsuit in New Orleans from ACORN members demanding open books from the organization. ACORN is fighting this tooth and nail
Rush is talking about this now.
L
Found out a little more
Ummmm…could someone tell me if ACORN is a 501c3 non-profit? I really don’t know, but if they are, dealing with a political candidate is a violation of their status.
I expect no results from this raid until after November fourth. Then President Osama Obama can pardon them.
And why no raid on his offices?
This whole thing is blowing up. This will cast doubt on the Ohio vote big time!
I live right next door to Ohio and I’ve been thinking about going to the college campus right on the state line to see if I can spot Acorn and see if they register me to vote. I WON’T complete the paperwork because that would be illegal, but I’m anxious to see what questions they ask me – if any!
Were they caught in vegas counting cards? I bet they were race cards…
Great, now they have a ton of addresses of Illegal invaders. I.C.E., get cracking. (oops, cracking was not, in any way, meant to remind you of Obama and crack.)
MrScribbler, I copied that off the ACORN website.
Okay, I’ll be the one who says it…..
“This isn’t the ACORN that I knew.”
Iss whut I’m talikin’ ’bout. Doahwm, shazizzle!
McCain needs to beat the Littlest Marxist senseless with ACORN and Fannie.
Too little too late. We should have been doing this months ago. Maybe we have a chance to persuade a few votes with voter fraud and campaign finance shenanigans. The Ayers, Rezko, Wright thing is going to blow up in Republicans face. The Bail-out financial crisis is too hard for the average voter to grasp in its implications to Dems. I believe the only chance McCain/Palin have is to convince white people to vote along racial lines.
You mean they didn’t use Michael Vic’s name?
The MSM executives are already planning their stragegies on how to ignore or downplay this. Maybe FOX will cover it, otherwise don’t hold your breath.
What stooges! I remember when the Cowboys led the league in felony convictions. Don’t these people know that convicted felons aren’t allowed to vote?
Oh, wait… sorry, we’re dealing with ACORN. My bad…
Fox has this on their web site now.

I live in Ohio and have been approached several times by vote registers looking to get my name on their lists.
They dont always say its voter registration. They try and use “Oh do you support legalized gambling just give us your name and address.” Or could be anything minimum wage or any issue.
They try and trick your name out of you. I will say I have been asked if I was a registered votera few times and have always turned down giving them my name. I think if I fraudulently give my name that gives them an out so not a good thing to do.
The Republicans have got to display the linkage between long-standing Marxist social destabilization tactics and that used by the Democrats. They are identical – working straight from the same playbook. Once Americans see it BO and the Leftist Democrats are in severe trouble. Conservative and Liberal Democrats will repudiate them at the polls.
Keep the preesure on – even during off election years.
Shocking.
Disagree about race. But the bailout has to be simplified in a Reaganesque sort of way.
I’d say something like:
“The hens are dead, the eggs are missing, even the goose is dead and the golden egg stolen, and now the foxes are asking for your vote.”
Someone tell them getting HUD money means that they are lying on their website.
This election isn’t about Ayers or Acorn – it’s too late to educate the public.
It’s still the economy, and McCain has to tie Obama to Fannie, his house to a crook, and Biden to MBNA and his house to a banker. Big simple block letters, with a nice photo or two of Obama’s and Biden’s houses. Simplify, simplify, simplify….
The acts of stuffing ballot boxes, especially as it relates to one party (and we all know which one it is), with the names of dead or otherwise non-existent people is more than criminal. It’s traitorous. If they couldn’t get away with this, their marxist leader would never be elected. I pray to God that the worms continue to come out of the woodwork before this travesty comes to a disasterous close. I also hope that people (all of them) take at least a little time to really look at who this guy is and what he really stands for. He’s bad for our country, bad for our security, and bad for our future. In case any trolls don’t get it – Barack Obummer is whom I refer to.
Acorn wouldn’t do that, would they?
Gee, you think all those registrations are Democrat?
Notice none of the trolls are here…the lights came on and they all scattered.
No defense for the indefensible!
RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO. RICO.
I heard some of them are nuts.
Here’s a tip…
“Social Justice” and “Social Gospel” are just smokescreens for the truth…
SocialISM
RICO. Justice Department.
That’s the cure for what ACORN’s us.
They’re pulling their crap in every state they can get away with; might as well clean ‘em all up at once.
BlameAmericaLast re:
Notice none of the trolls are here…the lights came on and they all scattered.
Well on that note, it is interesting that no one was home at the ACORN office…
Well color me surprised. Is there any way to shut down ACORN permanently? It’s pretty revealing that many “low-income” and young voters either don’t know they need to register to vote or can’t seem to find the time. That this organization has to make up voters to convince the American public, never mind the local populace, of their utility, speaks volumes.
It’s the lazy signing up the lazy. We never needed ACORN in the past. Why do we need them now?
Oh, that’s right (smacks forehead), here I was thinking this was about an honest electoral process. I forgot about the fraudalent vote buying and sub-prime mortgage fraud going on. Silly me!
now all they need to do is hit the following states:
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana plenty of fraud in those states for sure….
There you go. Jail them (Frank, Dodd and the other rats as well) and shut down the GSEs that are Fannie and Freddie. No more thefts from our Treasury.
Is it just me, or is ACORN being investigated in all of the contested states: Ohio, Nevada, New Mexico…
We need to see a map of where ACORN is actively operating.
“This is not the ACORN that I knew.”
When the Mafia does what ACORN does, it gets indicted.
When the Teamsters do what ACORN does, Obama promises to remove them from federal oversight.
My grandparents were Roosevelt Dems until they died. When I was younger, they passed on a few things to remember about politics in the Southern rural world.
) Democrats will always tax us
) Republicans will always get us into war
) You can never trust a Democrat with a ballot box
Seems to still hold true, decades later.
Yes, it’s true. The Nevada Secretary of State, Ross Miller, is a democrat. A racist one, mind you, but a democrat nonetheless.
In the immortal words of Captain Louis Renault, Prefect of Police of Casablanca, “I’m shocked to learn there is voter fraud involving ACORN.”
Hmmm, good point.
America doesn’t need ACORN, the Democrats need ACORN. That’s how they win elections.
the great beast i think you are right. how many cases of voter fraud in how many states, over how long a period of time until the government decides this is a conspiracy to defraud and does invoke the racketeering and corrupt organizations laws. maybe this organizations activities and the failure of democrat prosecuters to go after these people is why sen. dominici and senator bond contacted gonzales and demanded the justice department look into this travesty.
It is the Lord God that installs and deposes kings. ACORN voter fraud cannot overcome the will of the Almighty.
Keep praying. And keep exposing this kind of racketeering every chance we get!
Thanks, Michelle.
oh gee, i just heard on the news that the city of st louis will have to keep it’s voter registration offices open late tonight and tomorrow night to accomodate all those dead voters from acorn to get registered. what’s new.
cheapseat, night of the
livingvoting deadhappy halloween!
For starters, cutting off their federal funding wouldn’t suck. They’d shrivel up and die if they couldn’t feed at the federal troff.
No voter registrar in the country should take any voter registration that has gone through ACORN. There is simply no excuse for this kind of stupidity and fraud, especially when it is this well documented.
Now watch the squirrel Obama scramble to hide his ACORNs.
Yeah, double-entendre, I know.
Only 1794 out of 1800 were fake. At least they went to the trouble of getting 6 actual real people. Give them SOME credit, folks!
And the bailout bill gave MORE money to these
clownscriminals.yeah st. louis is just chicago-lite. its crooked as hell, with a high murder rate, a typical democRAT paradise…
and the suckers keep voting democrat, cause they care so much…
Who’s the idiot who used real names? Now they have actual people who can testify…
Maybe this is the start of the “chickens coming home to roost”!
Mayhem in the streets is less than a month away; and this time, it is likely us RepCon’s will be leading the charge.
The socialist trio of Obama/Pelosi/Reid is about to take is into Protracted Depression, Act II (a la FDR).
Just ask yourselves if there were a comparative Republican counterpart to ACORN how long it would be allowed to operate. Stinks don’t it.
Ooops! Here’s another chicken, maybe one about to lay an October surprise egg? (If he isn’t bumped off before he clucks..)
And they propably got paid for all 1800….. yay.
RICO was my first thought. I don’t know the RICO law (reading a legal definition of RACKETEERING is ponderous work) but “obstruction of justice” and “obstruction of a criminal investigation” would surely qualify. I can’t wait to see where this leads.
Uh, who tipped off the employees? Doesn’t it seem strange that so close to election day, there were no workers/co-ordinators/fraudsters present “working hard for the American people?” Me thinks I smell a rat!
AND OBAMA FUNDED ACORN.
McCain has an opportunity to link Obama to this voter fraud in front of the entire nation. He’s need to do it tonight and in a way that sticks. He needs to anticipate Obama’s denials and drive home the link for all to see and make sure that people know this is just the tip of the Obama’s racketeering Iceberg.
Everywhere ACORN goes they get caught in some kind of shenanagans. When will the Dept. of Justice shut these dirtbags down once and for all?
First OJ now ACORN Vegas is having a good week.
Ooops is that racist too?
ACORN…doing the job Americans won’t do.
I am personally stocking up on guns and ammo, just in case Obama gets into office and tries to take them away from me …
Secondly I can only hope that if BO gets in the White House that things will not get better on Wall Street so there will be no way the Dems will get re-elected in 2012 and Sarah will have a landslide win …
Not happy to talk this way but fact is it is the only way we can ensure we get rid of BO after one term if he manages to get elected …
Meanwhile … I am doing all I can to work to prevent his election …
Community Organizers….
OFF SUBJECT
I HAD TO SHOW YOU FOLKS HOW CRAZY THE LEFT IS GETTING
ENJOY.
“People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, cofounders of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Inc., urging them to replace cow’s milk they use in their ice cream products with human breast milk, according to a statement recently released by a PETA spokeswoman. ‘PETA’s request comes in the wake of news reports that a Swiss restaurant owner will begin purchasing breast milk from nursing mothers and substituting breast milk for 75 percent of the cow’s milk in the food he serves,’ the statement says. PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health.”
lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and
benefit human health.turn women into diary animals.Marxism is never a good thing. Take down the little sock puppet Obama. Shine the light of truth on these hell-spawned minions of darkness and evil and drive them from the land.
OK that may be a little over the top but not by much.
Jeez Louise! Did they get that ice cream recipe from Hannibal Lechter?
Not that I am anti-breast. I love womens breasts (can I get an amen guys?) I just don’t think women should be lowered to the status of diary cows.
Big Bessie says … MOOOOOOOOO! I guess it can also be called a cottage cheese industry?
Are they taking applications for milkers?
RedDog, stop sugar-coating it for us, will you please?
I’m howling.
Guess PETA wants to return women to the 18th century description of being kept in the kitchen … barefoot, naked and pregnant …
Amen, Brother!
Please, God, let Gov. Palin AND Sen. McCain link Obama to ACORN! It must be done. I will be praying for Sen. McCain tonight. Especially tonight.
“No one was at the ACORN office when state agents arrived with a search warrant and began carting records and documents away.” Obviously this raid was during normal business hours.
Fox News has Stanley Kurtz on about Acorn
And hooked up to some sort of suction device. Shades of the “matrix”
Acorn…just registering to vote all the fake people the Republicans don’t care about. Republicans are prejudiced against fake people. Fake people are Americans too. Fake people deserve civil rights.
Let’s see.. minimum wage + recalling wife’s output 20 years ago .. we’re lookin at about 800 bucks a gallon here.
I have a better idea – milk POLAR BEARS!
I grew up milking cows. I can hear my wife when I tell her I need to take care of the herd this morning.
There will be a government subsidy attached as an earmark to the next bail-out bill by McAmnesty.
If Ayers is still determined to bomb something how about he starts with the ACORN offices … (while closed of course) …
So the h3ll with the nursing mothers babies.
fixed
AWESOME!!! I have a deep love for Ben & Jerry’s, and this would turn them into Kryptonite!! Go for it, guys! My waistline will be most grateful, because I’ll never touch the stuff again.
And, speaking as a woman who has nursed a few babies… What woman in her right (or wrong) mind would line up for this job, even among PETA whackos? Not nearly enough, I’d wager.
If Ayers is still determined to bomb something…
how ironic that he will best be remembered for blowing up Obama’s run for the White House.
From Foxnews:
More fun:
BR … I hope you are right …
What they should do is disqualify every single registration made through acron. With such a high fraud rate, I can’t see how they could justify keeping those registrations.
Should I check the Virginia, Missouri and Iowa voting roles to make sure my dead parents and grandparents won’t be voting incorrectly?
Also, I am wondering now if the reason I received TWO voter cards in Colorado is because I signed a petition outside Walmart?
I need to call the County Clerks office, I guess…
