More Voter Fraud from ACORN, 39 Turned into Authorities

ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has fallen under allegations of voter fraud in this election cycle as in 2006. The Milwaukee , Wisconsin Election chief has turned in 39 individuals to authorities for violating voter registration laws.

Seventeen apparently filled out voter applications and then signed the cards themselves. That involved two to four cards in each case.
Twelve submitted cards for individuals who later told ACORN they never filled out an application. That involved one card in each case.
One submitted a card for a dead voter. That was the second such case; a Voters Project worker previously submitted a card for a deceased voter.
One was apparently making up driver’s license numbers for an unknown number of voters.
One submitted about a half-dozen applications for already-registered voters.

In October, allegations of problems with voter registration cards surfaced in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Colorado. According to the Associated Press, “In Franklin County [Ohio], prosecutors are looking at almost 400 cards the county elections board said included already registered voters or people with the wrong address.” In Philadelphia, about 3,000 cards were rejected because of missing information or invalid addresses.
