Let the fraud begin ...ACORN! Obama boyz!

[southpaw]

Almost forgot...ACORN signed up Mickey Mouse to vote.

[once a runner]

Why would that upset you? Mickey Mouse is obviously going to vote republican. Certainly someone as rich and successful as Mickey would never vote for Obama and his tax increase on the rich. I would think John McCain would be happy to get all the Disney characters he could registered to vote! Rumor has it that once McCain put Palin on the ticket, he lost votes from the cast of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Bullwinkle lost too many friends to Ms. Palin and has vowed to campaign for Obama until all the moose are safe.

I'm sure to get the free smokes from ACORN, Mickey had to promise to vote from Obama

I won't dispute anything that you say because it is based on experience. However, your articles are from strongly right-leaning reporters. I could find similar left-leaning reporters with similar stories of corruption within Republican ranks. I tend to avoid that kind of nonsence. The time I spent looking up the names of the reporters is time I will never get back.

I have relatives on one side who are right-leaning and quote similar things to what you say, although they are not quite as extreme. I also have relatives who are left-leaning and tell stories on the other side about how Republicans try to hijack elections. Obviously, there are folks on both sides who try to cheat in order to sway elections, but this has a small influence on the overall number of votes cast in an election. Are you suggesting that over 100,000 votes are improperly cast in Pennsylvania for the Democratic candidate? That is absurd. Even that would not have been enough votes to swing the state to the Republicans in 2004.

I am not sure if Ohio works the same as Pennsylvania but, will not Mickey Mouse have to show some type of legitimate photo id in order to vote. Where I have voted the Democatic party and Republican party have poll watchers to make sure voter fraud does not happen. Voter registration fraud does not necessarily equal vote fraud.

Oh my,

SACRAMENTO -- The owner of a firm that the California Republican Party hired to register tens of thousands of voters this year was arrested in Ontario over the weekend on suspicion of voter registration fraud.

State and local investigators allege that Mark Jacoby fraudulently registered himself to vote at a childhood California address where he no longer lives so he would appear to meet the legal requirement that all signature gatherers be eligible to vote in California. His firm, Young Political Majors, or YPM, collects petition signatures and registers voters in California and other states.

Thanks, Lemmy. Like I said, it works both ways.

[southpaw]

That wrong and you know it Lemmy. LA times, ya I'll believe what they say. Most polling place in Philly don't even have a Repub. poll worker. That way in most inner city black areas. The corruption is rife in those areas. The truth is that the Dems out cheat the GOP at least 10 to 1 and that's a conservative estimate.

Dead goldfish offered the vote in Illinois

CHICAGO – The only "agent of change" Princess ever supported was the person who freshened the water in her fishbowl.

So election officials in Chicago's northern suburbs want to know why voter registration material was sent to the dead goldfish.

"I am just stunned at the level of people compromising the integrity of the voting process," said Lake County Clerk Willard Helander, a Republican, who said she has spotted problems with nearly 1,000 voter registrations this year.

Beth Nudelman, who owned the fish, said Princess may have landed on a mailing list because the family once filled in the pet's name when they got a second phone line for a computer.

"There was no fraud involved," said Nudelman, a Democrat who supports Barack Obama. "This person is a dead fish."

The paperwork sent to a "Princess Nudelman" likely came from the "Women's Voices, Women Vote" project, which sent nearly 1 million mailings to Illinois households in August using a list that mistakenly included some pets, said Sarah Johnson, a spokeswoman for the not-for-profit group that encourages single women to vote.

The mailing list, purchased from a vendor, included names from warranties, magazine subscriptions and other sources, Johnson said. The group attempted to screen out obvious pet names.

"Fido's not going to be left on there, but if a cat is named is Polly, she may be," Johnson said. Princess could be a person's name, she insisted. "I went to high school with two Princesses."

Nudelman said the only address on the registration card was the Lake County clerk's office. She said she wrote election officials a humorous note explaining why the fish was ineligible to vote.

The Illinois mailing generated 63,500 returned voter applications, Johnson said. Applicants were instructed to fill in a driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number so election officials would be able to validate their identity.

"We obviously don't want to add more work for any election official," Johnson said. "At the end of the day, our goal is same as theirs: To give as many people as possible the chance to make voices heard in our democracy."

Steve Sturm, legal counsel for the Illinois State Board of Elections, said the mailing generated numerous complaints from residents throughout the state.

Lake County election officials contacted Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office Monday afternoon, said spokeswoman Robyn Ziegler. The sheriff's office and state's attorney's office were "already working on it," she said.

The McCain-Palin campaign has lately raised questions about the voter registration practices of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. ACORN is accused of submitting false registration forms for some of the voters it has registered. The FBI has joined nearly a dozen states in investigating.

Women's Voices has worked with ACORN in the past, but the August mailing "has nothing to do with" ACORN, Johnson said.

I just registered all 110 head of angus cattle, 3 goats, 1 dog, 3 minor children, and 17 barn cats to vote! ACORN called me up and offered free smokes but instead I bartered 150 round bales of hay to feed the stock and a case of ALPO for the dog.

and McCain will still lose.
