Dozens of NC voter registration forms faked (ACORN)
WTVD-TV ^ | October 15, 2008 | Tamara Gibbs


One group is the focus of the investigation after more than 100 forms turned out to be fraudulent. Election leaders in Wake County sift through dozens of returned letters, a sign voter registration forms from a variety of groups had bogus mailing addresses. Statewide, 135 fake forms --30 in Wake County and about 104 in Durham County-- are the focus of a state investigation --a small number, but still a big issue to republican leaders.

"They are a threat to the public at large and two they are engaged in large scale fraud and you don't have to take my word for it," said Danny Diaz, communications director for the Republican National Committee. "You wouldn't have federal and state authorities looking into their activities."

ACORN, a national group that has registered 27,000 new voters in North Carolina, is at the center of the controversy.

Officials say some of its workers used names and numbers out of phone books and others registered applicants multiple times.

"We tell our canvassers right away, 'don't do this, there are criminal consequences if you do it'," Pat McCoy with ACORN said. "We have had people who were prosecuted, but the organization has not been found to be guilty in regards to our programs."

Critics argue, unlike North Carolina, some states are sorting through hundreds of fraudulent forms, a burden to overwhelmed election workers.

They blame senator Obama's alleged ties to acorn --a relationship his campaign denies-- adding the voter registration controversy is a political ploy.

"I think it is a distraction, because again they're not affiliated with our campaign. They're not doing this on our behalf, we're registering voters ourselves," campaign strategist Robert Gibbs said. "We have the best field organization in NC and throughout this country."

ACORN attacks backfire on McCain
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
The McCain campaign likes to have an enemy to fight (and blame things on), and the latest bogeyman is ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). First they attacked ACORN for alleged voter registration fraud. A Republican National Committee spokesman called ACORN a “quasi-criminal group”. They even compared ACORN to the KKK. But the nastiest attack was a TV ad that blamed ACORN for the mortgage crisis.

So what makes this all ironic (and pretty funny) is that in 2006, McCain himself was best friends with ACORN. Rather than trying to defend itself against the attacks, ACORN released a photo of McCain giving the keynote speech at at an ACORN-sponsored rally in Florida, telling the participants that they “are what makes America special.” Watch it yourself (at 1:53):

Not many people knew in 2006 what ACORN was up to OT ....

Besides ACORN has worked against McCain and anyone who isnt far left, so good luck making the case that McCain benefitted from the criminal actions of ACORN.

Kind of like McCains connections and being their "voice in Washinton" of the radical La Raza that wants to take back a huge portion of the US for Mexico...

He supports them- and they support him- except when talking to a true conservative- and then he flipflops... :roll:
The guy is a Loose Cannon that will do/say/be anything it takes to be President...
