ACORN Ohio Honored By Dems With Wellstone Award

I don't know what's developing around this item Ace has up.

Major, Tentative Walk-Back: The "US Attorney" part has been deleted from the headline. Not bait and switch; just can't stand by that at the moment.

There is another Ohio county calling for a fraud investigation into ACORN - and plenty of breaking news. Katy Gall, cited below as the ACORN state chair is in the YouTube at bottom.

One of the new voters, Freddie Johnson, 19, of Cleveland, said he signed 73 voter registration forms over a five-month period. Johnson said he was trying to help paid ACORN solicitors collect signed registrations but he didn't intend to vote more than once.

ACORN's state director, Katy Gall, watched the board's discussion and said later that ACORN had cooperated with the investigation and would fire anyone soliciting duplicate registrations. She said the organization was proud of its work registering new voters.

Harris Wofford is giving her the 2008 Wellstone Award from 21st Century Democrats. At this point I want to know where in Hell the Republicans have been while Federal Funding went to any arm of this obviously out of control partisan entity in the past? They drop the ball on that just like everything else during the years they were in control? Freaking Grand Worthless Party in DC.

There's nothing wrong with them registering legitimate voters of any class. But time and time again they are flooding voting districts with fraudulent registrations. Someone needs to put a stop to this, not give them awards as the Democrats do.

Bloody hell.

"And in Lake County, home to the long-depressed steel town of Gary, the bipartisan Elections Board has stopped processing a stack of about 5,000 applications delivered just before the October 6 registration deadline after the first 2,100 turned out to be phony."

John Kasich and Bill O'Reilly just made a great case that, three weeks out from the election, we already have voter fraud in Ohio. So we know already, Ohio will be a problem.

Of course there will be voter fraud when Ohio goes 65% blue. How else can you explain it? That conservative ideas are finally repudiated and rejected for the anti-Democratic, anti-populist, insecure, cruel, demagogic, intolerant philosophy that they represent? Nah.

Strange that nobody (read: so-called "liberal" MSM) pitched such a big fit about caging lists, poll place intimidation, crappy Diebold software or the call flooding of the phone banks of Democratic Party offices.

It would be interesting to see how many people voted after the election, that did not really vote, you know like the dead, people in the hospital or a hospice. Like all of them contributions to Obama from people in CA, who have never voted and are not interested in politics.

Since this is a national elections, I do not understand why we can not require a photo ID, and a person has to Ink their fingers like in Iraq.

Better yet would be to have every person put both of their thumb prints on their ballots. A computer can cross check for someone voting more then once, and also check for someone who is not allowed to vote, like a felon. People who have never been finger printed would be no big deal unless their prints showed up on more then one ballot, and then just cancel out their VOTES. And then see if they could be found for voters fraud. Anyone who commits voter fraud should get a mandatory prison sentence, and never be allow to vote again.
