Missouri officials suspect fake voter registration

By BILL DRAPER – 1 hour ago

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Officials in Missouri, a
hard-fought jewel in the presidential race, are
sifting through possibly hundreds of questionable or
duplicate voter-registration forms submitted by an
advocacy group that has been accused of election
fraud in other states.

Charlene Davis, co-director of the election board in
Jackson County, where Kansas City is, said the
fraudulent registration forms came from the Association
of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.
She said they were bogging down work Wednesday, the
final day Missourians could register to vote.

Jess Ordower, Midwest director of ACORN, said his group
hasn't done any registrations in Kansas City since late
August. He said he was told three weeks ago by election
officials that there were only about 135 questionable
cards — 85 of them duplicates.

"They keep telling different people different things,"
he said. "They gave us a list of 130, then told someone
else it was 1,000."

FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said the agency has been
in contact with elections officials about potential voter
fraud and plans to investigate.

1. Let the caging begin!

[Mojambo]

2. ACORN has been very transparent about this process

The Right is really pinning all their hopes on challenging the legitimacy of the vote.

This was all over right wing radio and conservative media.

9. So find the "fradulent registrations" and toss them out.

That doesn't mean you should throw out every single one, as I'm sure the Repugs want them to do.

10. This ACORN hate-fest is being pushed real hard by RW radio and

no doubt comes right out of the RNC (read Rove).

It sounds like ACORN is being punked by operatives filling out and turning in spurious registration forms, and then those same operatives or those running them turn in ACORN to the cops. Finding out who these operatives are is what the police should be looking into.

These people don't play by the rules, just look at the tattered Constitution. It's going to be a rough last month.
