ACORN CNN picked up Fox's ball & now Connecticut is looking into registrations
CNN aired a report about "false registrations" raised by an election board in Indiana. They visited the address of someone the registrars said had been registered by ACORN. At the end the reported mention how the Gary, IN office was closed and so was another but an ACORN lawyer in Boston "actually tried to push back on these charges" WOW imagine that. The lawyer said that the board in Indiana was just trying to discourage anyone that ACORN registered from going to vote AND that ACORN was doing what the state was supposed to be doing which is registering voters.

I smell a rat. :grr:

Conn. looking into voter cards submitted by ACORN

Associated Press
October 9, 2008

HARTFORD, Conn. - The State Elections Enforcement Commission is looking into a complaint alleging that a community advocacy group submitted fraudulent voter registration cards in Bridgeport.

Joseph Borges, Bridgeport's Republican registrar of voters, filed the complaint. He said he has found problems with numerous voter registration cards submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which works to register low-income people.

In one instance, he says a card was filled out for a 7-year-old girl, whose age was listed as 27 on the card.

ACORN filed more than 8,000 cards in Bridgeport. The complaint involves 10, but Borges said there were problems with many others.
