McCain asks for election monitoring help

Posted by Kyle Prast on Oct. 14, 2008

We need your help to ensure a fair and honest election. Already we have seen nationwide voter registration fraud by ACORN - a group closely linked to Barack Obama.

ACORN is under investigation for fraudulent activities in at least 11 states and they are accused of wrongdoing in many others. Election officials across the country have reported that 40-50% percent of registrations being turned in by ACORN are fictitious and are clogging up the system.

We have seen corruption in nearly every contested state:

  • Connecticut: local investigators are reviewing numerous reports of registration fraud committed by ACORN, including one case where a 7 year-old girl was registered to vote.
  • Florida: ACORN submitted hundreds of duplicate registrations to the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections.
  • Indiana: Almost half of the 5,000 registrations submitted by ACORN in Gary have been rejected for fraud and other irregularities.
  • Missouri: ACORN is being blamed for hundreds of bogus and duplication registration applications that are "bogging down the system."
  • Nevada: The Las Vegas office of ACORN was raided by state law enforcement for its alleged involvement in voter fraud. In addition to registering the Dallas Cowboys starting line-up, ACORN also used prison inmates through a work release program to conduct voter registration activities.
  • New Mexico: ACORN was exposed for employing numerous felons to collect voter registrations including sex offenders and persons accused of identity theft. The FBI is currently investigating 1,400 registrations.
  • Ohio: ACORN admitted to Cuyahoga County election officials that it cannot eliminate fraud from its operation. The Board has been investigating ACORN registrations since August.
  • Pennsylvania: Thousands of ACORN registrations have been turned over to federal authorities for investigation.
  • Wisconsin: 39 ACORN employees are under investigation for registration fraud and 2 have already been indicted.
ACORN's activities are poisoning the political system while advocating for Barack Obama's campaign. Make no mistake about it: voter registration fraud has only one purpose and that is voter fraud.
