Is their guy in power.
then he will just make sure those pesky laws go away and those pesky voters learn to shut their yaps.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada authorities seized records Tuesday from a group they accused of submitting fraudulent voter-registration forms — including for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys.

“Tony Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada, and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won’t be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4,” said Secretary of State Ross Miller, referring to star players on the pro football team.

State authorities raided the headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a group that works to register low-income people.

Miller said the raid was part of a monthslong investigation, and he contended the group had submitted registration forms that used false information or duplicated information on multiple forms. He did not estimate how many.

This is exactly why voters need to provide identification that matches the voter roles when they go to the polls.

Would not the RICO act apply to ACORN?

to carry out their GOTV strategy. There are three readily apparent ways to cast a fraudulent ballot: 1)have an imposter vote as a legitimate voter, 2)have an imposter vote as a registered voter who is either no longer in the district or who is unlikely to vote, and 3)have an imposter vote as a registered voter that doesn’t really exist. Option One is fraught with peril: someone might recognize or question the imposter or the real person might also cast a vote triggering an inquiry by the canvas board and only one of the ballots will count, maybe the imposter’s, maybe the real voter. Option Two is much safer but still has some of the risks of Option One. This is the reason for motor voter registration at welfare officers, unemployment offices, DMV, college campuses, etc. This is also the reason that motor voter put so many restrictions on purging voter lists; you need those people who are dead or have moved. These “voters” are not likely to vote or even be in the district at election time. Option Three is golden, especially in a Democrat controlled city or state. You get your nonexistent voter registered in as many precincts as you can. Then you load up your crew of voters in a van and just ride around voting early and often. Works like a charm so long as there’s none of that pesky picture ID stuff. This is the reason the Ds, the poverty pimps, and the race pimps have been so opposed to voter ID. Of course, where you have online voting, early voting, or lax absentee voting, you can vote your whole list of nonexistent voters even if it is logistically impossible to vote them all using live bodies, another reason the “progressive” states so love stuff like this. You can also use these “modern” voting systems to more easily vote the Option Two voters who aren’t likely to still be around. There might be some duplicates between absentees and live voters but in a D controlled city or state nobody will check much and if you do get caught you can mumble something about how the voter must have forgotten they’d already voted.

You can only do this stuff effectively in urban areas and to a limited extent using black or hispanic voters in white controlled rural areas since the white election officials aren’t likely to know the black or hispanic voters. You can only do it where there are ID requirements if you have a corrupted election staff, which invites pesky law enforcement types to peek under your skirts.

In the urban areas you don’t need these votes to win elections in these districts usually; you need them to offset the votes of those people in the ‘burbs and the hicks in the sticks who haven’t had their consciousness raised. In a close statewide election these fraudulently cast votes can spell the difference.

And, don’t ask me any tough questions about how I know all this stuff!

I didn’t hear Ayres. I didn’t hear that Obama will nominate judges that will vote opposite Obama’s purported (for general population consumption) views on gun control and homosexual marriage. I did hear in the VP debate Biden quickly retort that “we have the same position on “gay marriage”, i.e. please let’s not pursue this issue and pretend this isn’t an issue since we “agree”.

Leaving guns, homos, community organizers and leftwing terrorist turned (no surprise) tenured academics on the “table” may be the strategy some of our GOP brethren in the “let’s make this about staying in Iraq and on economics” may want, but I see no sense in it.

Hello. First time poster but I have enjoyed the commentary here for the last few months. AT had a link to an article regarding Obamas membership with the New Party.

I have lived in Germany for a little more than a year now, and I can say with utmost confidence that Socialism is a polished word for slavery. And I do not want to see my country go down this path any more than we already have! So please review this, verify, and repost if you feel inclined. Thanks for your time!

You know, this minimum wage deal can really be a pain in the a$$.

The money quote:

“As acknowledged both by the trial court and California, the more that ACORN must pay each individual outreach worker–either because of minimum wage or overtime requirements–the fewer outreach workers it will be able to hire.”

No s^^t.

Same claim of incompetence that some companies use (and are against E-verify, so they can continue the excuse) in the issue of having countless Illegal Immigrants on their payrolls.

“We didn’t know.”

Sure!!! If you’re HR (Human Resource) abilities are so lacking, it is not an excuse, just reason to shut you down since you are admitting your unwilling to correct your methodologies. If after being burned a few times, by people that have been brought in, a “normal” and “caring” organization, if for no other reason than concern for their own ‘image’ would work harder to clean up its act – these folks just don’t care!

It is, of course, part of their strategy, though they cannot/will-not publicly admit to it. We all know it, and it is about time the MSM has been forced to, at least in passing (only quick mentions, then onto the next story, certainly nothing in-depth will ever occur), report that ACORN is under investigation and offices raided. It has gotten too large to just be ignored anymore.

The MSM, will of course, working on behalf of the Obama BinBiden ticket, continue to stick with the dismissive ‘a few bad ACORNS, fallen from the tree’ stand-point as long as they can. Even the dumbest Americans are now seeing this is too much a pattern to be excused/explained away.

thier defense. Additionally, it should be the exact same reason, incompetence, that should disallow them from receiving another $.01 of taxpayer money and from having another Secretary of State accept ANY voter registrations from them!

On Fox News this morning, an attorney for ACORN says the organization is a victim too. Wah.

Attorney’s name was Bryan Moller (on screen caption), but I couldn’t find an attorney by that name except one affiliated with an Australian firm. Strange. Attorneys are usually easy to find on Web.
