Cheat Seeking Missiles

“We have no idea what the motive behind it is. It’s just overwhelming to us.” - Lake County IN Elections Board Official

he official - probably Dem. Sally Sota, but the CNN article is edited so badly we can’t tell for sure - was speaking of ACORN; specifically, the 2,000+ fraudulent voter registration forms found in the first 2,000+ ACORN-submitted forms.

To ACORN, free and fair elections are just a joke, as evidenced by the names they use on the forms - fast food restaurant names, sports team names - and the cavalier attitude they have about cheating Democracy:

“All the signatures looked exactly the same,” Ruthann Hoagland, a Republican on the board. “Everything on the card filled out looks exactly the same.”

Lake County includes Gary, which is 84% black. It’s not like the Obama campaign had to work overtime to dominate the vote in this county - one of the ones where the campaign is quite content that there’s racism, black racism, in America. Yet ACORN found it worthwhile to cheat the system. Why? So he could win 101% of the vote there?

ACORN of course refuses to admit blame; any criticism of its actions is just Big Brother in action:

“We believe their purpose is to attack ACORN and suppress votes,” [ACORN attorney Brian] Mellor said. “We believe that by attacking ACORN, they are going to discourage people that have registered to vote with ACORN from voting.”

The non-fictional ones, anyway.

Michelle Malkin reported last night that ACORN’s Dem hench-gal has been busted next door in the pivotal swing state of Ohio:

A federal district court judge has found Democrat Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner guilty of violating federal election laws. The ruling goes to the heart of the ACORN-centered voter fraud epidemic spreading across the country. This is the second judgment against Brunner.

Says the Ohio GOP:

“For some reason, Jennifer Brunner does not want these new registrations checked,” said Ohio Republican Party Deputy Chairman Kevin DeWine. “Her refusal to comply with federal law raises serious concerns about her ability to objectively oversee this election. It’s especially troubling in light of her connection to ACORN and that group’s stunning confession this week of fraudulent registration activity happening right here in Ohio.”

Brunner’s effort to fight the court order comes just two days after the Democrat activist group ACORN admitted to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections that the group engages in fraudulent voter registration activity.

ACORN’s excuse for the fraud? You’ll love this:

Ohio ACORN officials “blamed the elections board for not scrutinizing ACORN’s suspicious cards,” claiming the group “can’t be expected to catch everything.”

“I Can’t Even Count How Many Registrations I’ve Filled Out”

Malkin’s story includes a film clip from Palestra.com, the college web-TV network, in which a young black woman says ACORN workers scrub the neighborhoods asking people again and again to register. “I can’t even count how many registrations I’ve filled out,” the woman says. She says she does it for her country - who taught her civics?

Here’s a YouTube copy of the Palestra clip, which I wasn’t able to post:

In addition to Indiana and Ohio, ACORN investigations are proceeding in, at a minimum, Nevada, Missouri, Connecticut and Wisconsin, plus North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Pennsylvania, and Washington. And that was just page one of the Google search.

Obama’s position? “I’ve never worked for ACORN.”

Sweetness & Light has the goods. He did work for Project Vote, which shares the same address in Washington DC and other cities with ACORN, shares the same job postings, and which multiple MSM outlets identified as an arm of ACORN. Not to mention the documentation provided by IRS tax forms.

Oh, and there are these words from his own mouth:

“So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”

So he didn’t really work for ACORN, like he didn’t really listen to his pastor … but he did lawyer for ACORN. Media Circus has a page of a court settlement for a lawsuit brought by ACORN which includes the names of the settling attorneys:

The parties voluntarily dismissed the case on May 12, 1998, pursuant to a settlement agreement.

What was the lawsuit? Well, glad you asked. It was a Community Reinvestment Act lawsuit charging redlining by a bank, the classic ACORN strategy to force banks to make bad mortgage loans and the genesis of the financial meltdown that’s giving us all intense heebie-jeebies today.

Plus, of course, he shoveled buckets of cash ACORN’s way while running the Annenberg Chicago Challenge.

So, class, to refresh: A group tied to Barack Obama is caught trying to throw the election. He denies he ever worked for them, but he’s lying, lying, lying. And his lie also covers up his direct involvement in the mortgage shell game that’s brought our economy to its knees.

Yet he’s ahead in the polls. Go figger.
