Practically Speaking

Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers’ perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.

The voter fraud ACORNs just keep piling up

An Ohio woman explains how ACORN workers pushed her to vote multiple times. "Even if you tell them that, 'I've already registered,' they'll be like, 'Well, just sign your name and give us the the last four of your social and we'll do the rest."

From Fox News: (My emphasis)

An Ohio man said he registered to vote 77 times in a year and a half. Another says activists in the group ACORN pursued him until he registered 10-15 times and now the group is publicly admitting they cannot stop fraud in its ranks because they just don't have the resources.

Investigations are going on in 12 states, including Wisconsin. Surprisingly Texas is one of the 12. According to a couple I met at the recent McCain / Palin rally, Texas does have a voter ID law. You either use a drivers license or state issued voter ID.

Please, comment content should relate to the subject of the post. Although I try to respond to many, do not interpret my lack of a response as agreement.

Voter fraud is a systemically engineered and now institutionalized reality in this country.  Where are Woodward and Bernstein when we need them?

Hi Kyle, all these investigations of ACORN show how underhanded they are and this is where Obama got his start in community politics . Yes they are dirty as cow manure. Yet nothing is done to stop them. Just another representation of the Democratic Party and its lust for power at the expense of every one.

The audacity of these folks reaches the point of absurdity; surely no reasonable person can expect to get away with registering the same voter 77 times, or submitting pages and pages of signatures all by the same hand.  Pure speculation, but does ACORN pay these activists by the signature?  Are politicians paying ACORN by the signature?

Kyle's reply: Yes, ACORN does pay activists by the signature in that there are quotas that need to be met for the day. The Obama campaign donated over $800,000 to ACORN in this election cycle but buried that information in their contribution statements. That has since been clarified.

These Socialists have permeated all phases of our lives.  How were Bill Ayers or Ward Churchill ever hired to teach in state institutions?  Why are municipal clerks refusing to check voter registrations with driver's licenses?  They get into local, state and federal positions and drive their agendas through their jobs. Fox News had an ACORN representative on who defended ACORN with a straight face.  They twist, lie and deceive at every turn and uninformed believe them.
