More ACORN voter registration fraud allegations surface
Saturday, May 9, 2009 at 11:57AM ACORN is back in the news with the most recent allegations filed in Nevada by the state’s attorney general. The Miami Herald said Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller and Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, both Democrats, on Monday “filed criminal charges accusing liberal community activist group ACORN and two of its employees of facilitating voter registration fraud in November's election by requiring canvassers to submit 20 applications each day or face termination.”
Neoliberal groups defend ACORN; conservative groups chastise the organization. It’s no secret ACORN leans towards the Democratic Party. Use of terminology on ACORN’s official website indicates a definite political preference. One statement there noted “false claims” by “members of the right-wing echo chamber…”
It’s certainly no secret ACORN was a significant influence in the 2008 elections, hiring workers who allegedly presented some very strange voter registration applications.
One for Mickey Mouse was reported by The St. Petersburg Times.
